I toy around with this all the time. I think out loud. But, what I'll probably do is sell my new Pioneer VSX-1017TVX-k for either a Sony STR-DA4300es, or an ONKYO TX-SR805, OR TX-S905. I want a receiver that will decode Dolby® TrueHD, DTS-HD and has HDMI 1080P switching and up-scaling. Those receivers do. The new Pioneer I bought doesn't. I've got a 56 inch JVC 1080P HDTV, and I'm going to go all high def for movies and music, and be DONE WITH IT... or I'd like to think...

Yup... going to buy an ONKYO TX-SR905. Anybody wanna buy a barely used, like new, Pioneer VSX-1017TVX-k, THX Select2, 140 watts x 7.1?
just go to a high end audio store and demo one....or buy the esoteric cd player i linked you to and be done with it....
