I'm looking to upgrade from my Dolby Digital HK AVR75 receiver...very reluctantly too, since it's never let me down and i love the way it sounds. I'd really like to take advantage of DVD-A, and my current receiver just doesn't have the capabilities.
Unfortunately, price is a major factor. I'd PREFER to get a receiver with 6.1 inputs for DVD-A, DTS EX and DD EX capabilities, and multiple optical inputs. I assume for $500 this can't be done.
Is there anything is this price range that fits most of the requirements? I've been happily using my AVR75 for 3+ years, so if it weren't for the DVD-A failure of my player, i'd probably be keeping it. But i'm years out of the loop when it comes to receivers, plus i'm highly doubtful my HK AVR75 could be outgunned audio-wise with dvd's (even though it's "only" dolby digital, i think it sounds incredible) by an "upgraded" receiver in this price range.
any input would be helpful
