I've been shopping for AV Receivers for a while. Also read a lot of customer reviews. It looks like with my budget, the Yamaha 663 and Onkyo SR705 could be the best choices. Now I'm trying to figure out which one to pick. According the reviews, Onkyo SR705 cannot use digital source for Zone2. Analog is the only option for the 2nd zone. This sounds like a major drawback for Onkyo.

Does anyone know if Yamaha 663 can use digital source for the 2nd zone? In your opinion, what other facts I should look at and which one you would recommend? Thanks in advance.

The Yamaha and the Onkyo are the same in this regard.

I recommend the Yamaha as the best bang for the buck!

You can find it for sub-$400 delivered from authorized dealers. PM me for details if you need to.

Very good information. Would you recommend an authorized dealer?
