I have broken down my new receiver decision to:
I am willing to buy used or refurbished but I am in Canada so the choices are tougher to find suppliers. Does anyone recommend where I should buy from in Calgary, AB?
I will be connecting:
Should I make everything easy and get the Onkyo because of the 4 HDMI inputs or does it even matter if I am able to use component in with enough SPDIF inputs and have the receiver convert it to HDMI?
Right now the HTPC has to use SPDIF or analog 5.1 but that will change when I upgrade it to a HDMI motherboard.
Thanks.
