I knew I resisted the upgrade bug for a reason, plus Steve was hinting as if something like bass mgmt was coming. Looks like I could be going back to Pioneer after 2 plus years with a Denon 4311. Please link when you can. Thanks.

Here's what the Pio website says about HDMI 2.0

Quote:
Offering 7 HDMI 2.0 inputs, the VSX-1124-K handles 4K2K Ultra HD video at 60 frames per seconds. 4K Ultra HD is the latest high-definition video display format, with four times the resolution of 1080p. Ready to deliver 4K Ultra HD video signals to a compatible display, the Pioneer VSX-1124 supports home theater systems dedicated to producing the highest quality picture available today. HDMI 2.0 is also backwards compatible with earlier versions of HDMI. A future firmware update will allow 4:4:4 based 4K2K60P content to be handled offering up to 18GBPS throughput.

And Subwoofer EQ

Quote:
Subwoofer EQ determines the exact location and characteristics of your subwoofer, and makes adjustments using four different frequency parameters and an extremely low-latency DSP to reduce phase and timing errors that are often found in other room calibration systems.

Same here. Almost bought a Marantz 7008 but figure HMDI 2.0 is right around the block.

 

[mercury]

interested!!!

 

[SLIDEx]

Will the VSX-80 have D3 Amps or A/B Amps?

 

[David Susilo]

These are A/B amps. The yet to be announced SC-81, SC-85, SC-87, SC-89 will have the class-D amps.

In the interest of rumor control... see post # 11 in the earlier thread from Chris Walker of Pioneer Electronics:

http://www.avsforum.com/t/1522219/2014-pioneer-elite-vsx-80-vsx-44-avrs-announced

Chris offered a clarification about which specific 2014 Pioneer AVR's announced to date that offer new MCACC which includes bass EQ. Apparently there was a typo in some web-pages yesterday, Wednesday March 12, 2014 that he fixed this morning.

 

[ss9001]

Folks will want to check carefully which version of MCACC is in the model they are looking at. Chris has said:


basic MCACC

advanced MCACC


and another yet-to-be-announced more advanced version in the top Elites with more capability.


I don't mean to be obvious but don't make assumptions when shopping as I've seen numerous posts over the last 2 years where people get a price "deal" then find out, or worse complain, that it doesn't have such & such. only yourself to blame if you don't do your homework

I did see the new Pioneer receivers on there site thanks tho.

 

[mastermaybe]

Here's to hoping at least the top units offer 11 channel capabities with more sophisticated sub eq.


Oh, AND more thorough control of digital sources to the additional zones!

[Goalline]

Guessing the Elites come out in July? I want one now.

 

[David Susilo]

They will announce the SC series in June/July but the actual units usually won't be released until September around CEDIA time.

 

[Chucka]

"and another yet-to-be-announced more advanced version in the top Elites with more capability."


I sure hope so!

 

[swarm87]

hopefully the elites have some good amplification(and preouts), want to upgrade my old vsx-1018 to something with more hdmi ports

 

[David Susilo]

Elite's class-D amp have been proven to be very solid and to be used as full-fledged pre-pro, I'd recommend SC-85 and up.
