Just to let you all know that in Japan they are now selling a new version of
the Yamaha DSP-AX1
The new unit has DTS-ES Discrete, DTS NEO and pro-logic II.
They are also offering an upgrade service for existing customers

Anyone know if this service is coming to the UK?

This is what Yamaha UK had to say

"Unfortunately this product is not going to be launched within the UK
within the foreseeable future particularly due to the success that the
DSP-AX1 has been. With the current DSP-AX1 being sold very successfully
within the UK there is certainly no need to introduce a next generation
model at the moment. Again with the upgrade side it is impossible to say
at this time."

I got a one word reply to that "DENON"

............but we Denon AVC-A1SE owners are still waiting for news of our
upgrade *if* it ever happens! Maybe your one word should actually be
"Onkyo!!"

Tag have made a downloadable licence for Pro Logic II and they use the SHARC
DAC as well.
I wonder if Denon will release a licenced PLII upgrade. (I guess that if
they do it will quickly get pirated on the internet)

All they have to do is make the upgrade, authorised dealer based and they are
laughing....instead they issue the above statement of.....screw the customer,
we're selling enough as it is !

If i was an AX1 owner, i'd be very p*ssed off and hammering yamaha customer
services....

Its a shame, because i'm fairly loyal to them as both my Amps are thiers, as
is one of my cd players, but with an attitude like that, they can forget any
future sales from me.

I agree, I have a Yammy DSP-A3090 and I would like to upgrade to an AX1, but
for me Denon has all the features that I want.
Although I still prefer the way Yamaha's sound.
AVC-A20SE (AVR-4802) looks like the one that will do everything I want
(Apart from I need a AC-3 RF demodulator)
Maybe I should wait for the AVC-A1SE to be replaced :-)

Aaaaaargh Reverend! I only bought my AVC-A1SE in June! Please don't even
think of mentioning it being replaced already as I may have heart failure!
I'll be happy enough if they announce a fabulous upgrade and I don't mind
paying for this if it includes all the necessary tweaks/sound formats etc.
What about a two tier upgrade Denon? DPLII and minor tweaks = free via
internet/CD-ROM and all singing all dancing hardware/software one for about
Ł200 meaning a trip to the supplying dealer??? Sound fair to you?

Brook

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they have just discontinued all the
models below the AVC-A1SE.

And the new model that replaces the AVC-A10SE, the AVC-A20SE (AVR-4802 in
the USA) has DTS 96/24 and Pro-Logic II and THX DTS Processing, DTS-ES
Discrete and all 7 amps on board.
I also only has one less input than the AVC-A1SE and no AC-3 RF in and a bit
less power
http://www.avland.co.uk/denon/avca20se/index.htm

With the model below having so much more, it can't be long before the
AVC-A1SE faces the chop.
(They may produce an upgrade like the Yamaha)

Likewise, i also have the A3090 and an RVX590 thats now just used for stereo and
radio in my hall way, because it was never worth selling !

I like the Yamaha's too....i also quite like the front effects speakers and do
even use some of the dsp functions....they are great amps, but the customer care
apears to really suck !

> Maybe I should wait for the AVC-A1SE to be replaced :-)

My brother-in-law has an A1SE and very nice it is too....he just uses it for
surround duties as he has a seperate stereo system (pair of krells, b&w nautilus
802/3 marantz SACD!!!!)

Thanks Steve!

Been there, done that and have the boxer shorts! The trouble is that nobody
(except Mr Jappy in the Land of the Rising Sun) knows what will really
happen. It's all rumour, speculation and counter rumour!
