I have a Yamaha RX-A730 powering 4 pairs of speakers throughout the house as Zone2. Since I am limited to analog inputs I can't use my chromecast to stream google play (not going the spotify route) - is there a network player that supports google play music and has analog outputs that I could connect to my system

The AVR is not designed to power that many Zone 2 speakers. Suggest you purchase a dedicated 2CH amp (see one below) and connect to the Zone 2 pre-outs to power the speakers.

I got that covered (impedance matching volume control). Now back to the original question ... also, what are my choices in receivers that support HDMI audio decoding into Zone2
