Sonodyne AVR - Any experience?

[20kHz]

Hi all,
While browsing though Sonodyne website, I found 7.2 Channel Dolby/ DTS HD Decoder with Preamplifier -Model name DE-4348..
Seems like a full blown AVR from Sonodyne. Searched the forum, but didn't find any detail.

Anybody have the pricing details ? and Any experience if anybody owns it.

It will be very good for us if the price is lower than those international AVR (marantz/Onkyo/yamaha)

I started this thread a few days earlier about it.

And this is not an AVR, it is rather a pre/processor, you will need either an active setup or a 5/7 channel power amp to go with it.
I sent them an email asking about price and availability, its been almost 2 months and no answer yet.
Typical Sonodyne for you I guess.

I Heard this processor for the WhatHifi Show at Mumbai and it was indeed quite nice and punchy......powered speakers were hooked up to it.

Movie experience was awesome and had excellent detailing.......the music experience (Concerts) was terrific.

I did enquire about the price at one time.. It was priced aimed at the mid-range Denon/Marantz .. Not sure why would anyone buy it..

Anyone owns this AVR and what is the price in 2023 ? Not even sure this model still exists.

Thank you I will try.. there is no mention of Atmos in the specs so doubted if they have any latest.
