Yamaha RX v2700 Emotiva switch

I currently run an Emotiva pre amp, the DMC-1, and thought it time for a change up to the Yamaha RX-v2700 in my main system. I was a little worried that I might lose some detail in the processing power switching from a stand alone pre to a receiver.
but I have read that the pre-amp section of the Yamaha rivals that of many separates. So I guess I will soon find out.
I called my local Yamaha rep today and asked if I could borrow a Yamaha RX-V2700 for my GTG on the 28th of this month and they went for it! They must have been pretty confident in the unit beings it will be up against separates and a Sunfire Theater Grand Receiver-3. Just to give an idea of the difference in components via price, and not necessarily performance, the Yamaha MSRP is $1699.95, the Emotiva MPS-1 and DMC-1 combo are $5600 and the Sunfire Theater Grand Receiver-3 is $4995. Quite a difference in price indeed!
My other reason for the switch out, temporary or not, is that the new Yamaha receiver has the capability to pull music off your computers hard drive via ethernet, wirelessly, or you can hook up an external hard drive via USB on the front panel of the Yamaha unit. For me this is huge beings I also run a Seattle Disc Jockey business and have always wanted the capability to pull music up on the fly so a bride can hear a song she may want for her wedding. Dual purpose for my Seattle wedding business and Sound Waves HiFi, gets no better!
I also have a lot of friends who wanted me to check this unit out because they are into music as much as I am and thought the idea to be a neet one. Ash a fellow blogger and music lover has yet to decide on which receiver he will be using in his home audio system. He and his brother own and operate Brides Club, which puts on very large wedding shows throughout the year. At each bridal show they have a wedding fashion show were a DJ will play tunes as the models walk down the runway and show off the latest fashions for wedding gowns and tuxedos. No cooler way for them to quickly thumb through songs and pick than with the Yamaha RX-V2700.
