Upgrading my Cambridge audio Azur 540 V1

[admin_exported]

I was looking at purchasing the SONY STR-DA1200 as a cost effective upgrade for my current AV amplifier but i'm not sure if it will really make that much difference. I know there are better amps out and the SONY is 'old hat' but i can get it new for £200, the price i got my Azur for.

Can anyone comment if there would be a noticable difference or am i really just wasting my time?

For reference i'm running a REL Q200 sub and MS914, 905, 902 speakers.

Many Thanks

Justin

Personally, I don't think it's worth it. With the Onkyo 606 out soon, if it gets a decent review, expect left over stock / second hand prices of the 605 to bomb. In which case, you've got a possible bargain coming up offering all the new HD sound formats.
