When I looked at some of the features of the x3700h, I noticed it was missing some of the unique features of the SR6015. For example, I’ve read that the x3700h only supports DSD64 whereas the SR6015 supports DSD128. Is this incorrect? Also, the back panel of the x3700h looks a lot more like the back of the SR5015. Would you disagree? The back panel pics are of the SR6015 and the X3700h (they are not similar). But, if you compare the back panel of the x3700h to the SR5015, I think you’ll see they have a lot more in common. Additionally, the x3700h was not made with a customer in mind who needs a 7.1 input for customers who need a surround multi-channel decoding on an external source. I did some more reading and found that only the x8500HA supports 7.1 inputs. So, the omission of this feature is not specific to the x3700h.Right, it is also inaccurate to say the AVR-X3700H is the counterpart of the SR5015 and/or to say the AVR-X4700H is the equivalent of the SR6015. You did the right thing reading "sources" more carefully and it is a good idea to search out manufacturers datasheets. There is so much hearsay going on.. The 3700 made prior to the DAC IC change did use the 4458 like the higher models. Even the 2600 did, we just have to quality that fact with the manufacture dates.
After some thinking, I realized the x3700h is a 9 channel receiver (like the SR6015). This alone aligns the x3700h with the SR6015. Even if other features (both physical and software/firmware) are found in the SR6015 and not in the x3700h.
