The DA7ES, DA4ES, VA333ES share the same service manual. 2002 vintage.
Most parts in these are shared by all models. Any time some one praises one of these they are praising all of these.

Specs on them are very similar. My DA4ES has given 8 years of reliability now. I will get a newer receiver at some point when home theater demands newer features but will probably keep the DA4ES longer.
My DA4es is still going strong as well great receiver I also have the DA5es and await the arrival of my DA7es that I won on ebay.Ican't see myself buying a brand new receiver just for HDMI when they have less power than these great receivers mentioned.
Here is some information from the Sony technical background for the 2002 ES receivers. This covers the STR-DA7ES, STRDA4ES & STR-VA333ES.
"Jitter can enter the signal during recording, playback and transfer. To suppress jitter at the digital input, Sony offers a powerful solution. Our Digital interface LSI regenerates the digital input signal to according to a highly accurate quartz clock. To boost precision further still, Sony controls the action of this LSI with a VCA stabilizer, reducing internal clock drift to a bare minimum." <v:shapetype stroked="f" filled="f" path=" (Email Address will not display unless member has 100 posts or is a Premium Member,
