Just got this new receiver last week, so far so good. Still playing with it and setting it up. It replaced an older pioneer Elite 54tx , any thoughts on this thing?

Hey Koufax65, welcome and we're glad you're here! Great choice with the Pioneer Elite. I've been a "Pioneer" guy for years now and love there gear. The "Elite" line has great features with very good internal parts for long term enjoyment.
I just switched out the Oppo (970, I think) for a Pioneer Elite DV79avi and although I didn't expect a big difference, I got one. The "Elite" presents a bigger soundstage, with more depth and space. Heck, the transport mechanism operates so much more smoothly and just feels better engineered than the Oppo. I am thrilled with the upgrade.
I just wanted to say Welcome and it's good to have more Pioneer users!
BTW, how did you find "The Audio Annex"?
