I'm mainly looking for sound quality, although things like HDMI swtiching are all plusses. Any recommendations on which receiver or integrated amp has the best sound quality at around the $500 price point?
Also, my only requirement is that it has a digital input.
Any thoughts on differences between the Onkyo 608, 708, and Pioneer 1019/1020? Is there anything else out there with very good/excellent sound? I'm also considering the Onkyo Onkyo A-5VL integrated amp since it's 2-channel, but i'm really not sure if the sound will be much better than getting a full blown receiver for about the same money.
