Got my R89 last week, hooked to a Denon AVR. So far I'm quite happy with it!
Use is mainly for Spotify (TV off, remote controlled using Spotify Connect) and video streaming (NetFlix, ...).
Main power of the TV/Denon AVR amp/subwoofer/BluRay/R89/ethernet switch/+ block is OFF when not in use.
The whole stuff is powered ON on-demand, using a Home Automation-controlled wall plug (could be scheduled, locally or remote controlled). However, the R89 stays OFF until the physical power button is pushed, which is in my case not optimal (and prevents me to fully remote control Spotify playback).
Is there a way to autoboot the R89 when power is back? or enable Wake-On-Lan?
The other stuff that is missing is the ability to directly control the AVR sound output level from the R89, but for that I guess that HDMI CEC support is required (next firmware?). Will try to hack around this limitation using keyboard layout tweaks/android keyboard helper/tasker and TCP connection to remote control the AVR sound level, unless somebody has a better idea!
Thanks,
Cedric
