Sorry for getting back so late,I quite fancy the open box offer.I appreciate your replies,but I need too sit on it for a couple of days and tote up my available funds.Hopefully the guy above won't snap it up before me;) .....
The 1050 has launched or will launch this month May...Here is a write up I found on it(hoping this will cause @PCDub to procrastinate longer and will give me time to persuade her indoors that I need the 1040:p ).Thanx again guys for your time and efforts,I'll be in touch.
Sony STR-DN1050 ($600) step-up features
Sony
- 165 watts per channel
- 6 HDMI inputs
- Three HDMI outputs, including a second zone HDMI output
- Powered second zone
- Support for DSD files
There are a couple of significant changes from last year's models that are worth highlighting. One is that the excellent user interface from the last year's STR-DN1040 will be available on both the STR-DN850 and the STR-DN1050 this year. When most AV receiver onscreen menus look like this, it's refreshing to see Sony make an effort to make the AV receiver approachable.

Also new on the simplification side is a drastically redesigned remote. The new clicker looks to be huge improvement, ditching rarely-used buttons and adopting a more straightforward layout.
Finally, the Sony STR-DN1050's second-zone support is the most extensive I've seen at this price. While most AV receivers limit your second-zone sources to analog inputs, the STR-DN1050 is capable of playing any source, including Bluetooth and AirPlay, in the second zone using the second-zone HDMI output. Most buyers won't need this extra functionality, but it's a nice step-up if you're looking for a two-room solution.
While most of the improvements are for the better, the STR-DN850 and STR-DN1050 both offer fewer HDMI inputs than last year's models. While five HDMI inputs is probably enough for most home theaters, it is nice to have room to expand, especially given the rate that new streaming media boxes are being released.0 -
