Hello all, I'm in the middle of a sitation here (though not that big of a deal) and wondered if I could get some advice...
I currently own an Onkyo TX-DS676 that I purchased about three and a half years ago. It has a built in DD/dts decoder and I've been more than satisfied with it. I've never had any problems with it in the least.
I purchased a new HDTV a few years back and now have Comcast HD as well, so this utilizes my component inputs. What I'm wondering is this: Is it worth it or do I really need to upgrade to a new receiver? I've been eyeing the Onkyo TX-SR601, which I've read all great things about. This also includes comoponent switching and has dtsES/DD EX decoding as well.
I just walked out of Circuit City as I wasn't really ready to take the plunge, but if all this receiver offers is component switching, I'm wondering if that alone is enough? But if the processing has been improved and the sound is really that much better; well that'll make my decision that much easier.
Any help and input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
