I've been researching for weeks on these brands. They all have their pros and cons. I want at least 3 HDMI 1.3. I'm looking at the Elite 94, denon 3808, Yamaha 1800 or 3800 and the Onkyo 875. The thing that has been stalling me is the video scaling/upconversion. I'm trying to figure out how important this is and which of these chips will do the best. I will be connecting a Dish HD receiver, SD DVD player, VCR (for that tape collection). Eventually I'll buy a BluRay or HDDVD player. I'll also want a game console too (PS3 or 360). I have a 7.1 setup with Boston InWalls and Ceilings. I like the idea of streaming MP3's from my PC. However not all these receivers will do that. I considered getting a Squeezebox for this function on the ones that do not.
So any input I can get from you guys will be very appreciated. I know there is a lot of knowledge on this site so I'm hoping to get some good replies. How important is a good video processor? How do these 4 stack up to each other? Sound quality? Will the squeezebox be better than the receiver as far as streaming audio? Thanks in advance to all those that reply.
