Hi there, my system is currently a high-end Mission setup with a powerful MJ Acoustics Subwoofer (awesome btw). My Amplifier is currently a cheap 7.1 Yamaha DSP-759SE, in fact my cables cost more than this amplifier lol... However, I want to be able to utilise DTS-MA bitstream and 7.1 LPCM via HDMI. Therein lies the question:
Has anyone got, or can suggest, an amplifier capable of 7.1 LPCM via HDMI, 7.1 Analogue input, HDMI 1.3a sockets, DTS-MA, DTS-HRA, DDTHD decoding? If so, please share what you have and your impression of it. My budget is variable, but it would be nice to stick below 1k.
My favourite brands in seperates are Denon, Yamaha and Onkyo. Used to have a Harman/Kardon setup but they have dropped off the planet over the last decade in terms of high-specced kit (AVR7500 was a beast :)).
Seems a good fit is the Yamaha RX-V1800. It has everything I mentioned except with 6.1 analogue input, and can be found for £995 online.
Open to other ideas :)
