Anybody running one of these Denon DNP-720AE?

They look pretty interesting to me. I was searching for a new AM/FM tuna and ran across this "all in one" type player.

Here is a link to the Crutchfield page:

Thoughts?

    You just reminded me I looked at one of these a couple of years ago at American TV a north Midwest chain and liked it but thought the price was a little steep, you have struck my intrest and this price in the above link is worth it, I might just have to get one of these. They are worth that price for a refurb or Crutchfields price for a new one.

    Seems like at one time it was meant as an add on to receivers that didn't offer any streaming. Not bad for the price however, but I would want some digital inputs if it was me. It does have a digital output so you can use an external dac.

    For basic streaming, 2-3 bones isn't a bad deal.

    Any more thoughts before I try one of these out? Is there a similar option I am overlooking in the same price range?

    The Denon should have a decent DAC for what it's worth. It will be fed to an Anthem tube pre.
