AVR-5308CI is reviewed positively in "Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity." (March 4, 2009)
"This AVR-5308CI distinguishes itself from other receivers with consistent performance in both audio and video domains. [...] I truly wouldn't let the price be too much of a factor, with the all-inclusive built-in features; first rate video processing, playback of every music source out there (XM, HD, Internet, wifi network and iPod docking, and portable USB drive connectivity), and multi-zone capable, I'd say the MSRP $5,500 is a bargain. The Denon AVR-5308CI delivers and at this point is the best receiver I've reviewed, by far." (Piero Gabucci)
