Anthony, Not sure why this would be of interest to the list since my receiver is a bit over 3 years old and only the model that came out afterwards had network connectivity and I believe can be controlled via an app. But, since you asked, it is a Sony STRDA5400ES, it was approx. $2,000 at the time here in Canada (in 2009).
