I wanted to discuss which in-production, consumer-level 7.2.4 (11.2 or 9.2+2) receiver platform is best for Atmos/Dolby Surround usage.
It seems like the current options are:
(Or there is the Trinnov Altitude 32 for 10 times the price, I suppose.)
Considerations seem to be:
Apologies if this has been posted somewhere else; I know there is some information buried in the middle of other threads like the enormous Atmos one and the per-receiver review/owner threads, but I didn't see any straight up comparison discussion.
Experiences? Thoughts? Guesses?
It seems like the current options are:
- Onkyo TX-NR3030 (all-in-one solution)
- Denon AVR-X7200W (needs dual channel amp)
- Yamaha RX-A3040BL (needs dual channel amp)
- Marantz SR7009 (needs dual channel amp)
(Or there is the Trinnov Altitude 32 for 10 times the price, I suppose.)
Considerations seem to be:
- HDCP 2.2 support
- Room correction (Audyssey or in-house)
- Sound upmixing (Dolby Surround and/or DTS Neo:X and/or in-house)
- 4K upconversion
- Amp power/clarity/other mysterious audio quality considerations
- Hypothetical DTS:X upgrade ability based on DSP power
- Auro 3D support (some people care about this I guess)
