I like this receiver, I mostly use the toslink in and the internal streamer (I think Musiccast is great to use). I also use the phono in, but never tried the CD or Line inputs.
What I find really annoying is that the Pure Direct mode will turn off the LCD screen when activated !
Like really ? Powering on the LCD screen would degrade the audio signal ? I don't understand why they did that, or maybe it just look more "Pure" with the screen off ?
I want to use this mode, because I don't use neither the integrated EQ nor the loudness function, and of course I like the idea of getting the most direct signal path. But I don't use it often because I don't want to lose the information the screen is showing (source, volume level, and knowing the system is powered on)
I think it's too bad we cannot keep the screen on and Pure Direct at the same time.
