Good HDMI switching receiver?
Thinking about upgrading the ol' Yamaha receiver to something that follows 21st century technology.
What's a decent, relatively inexpensive (if there is such a thing) receiver that offers at least two HDMI inputs and at least 3-4 optical inputs. Not opposed to staying with Yamaha, but perhaps a move over to Denon?
Budget is $1000.

I'm a fan of both Yamaha and Denon. Denon tends to run a bit more expensive than most of the other big-store brands, but their amps tend to run a little cleaner and stronger. Yamaha tends to have a bit better DSP modes.
Onyko is also a good value. The 605/705/805 are all great for the money, although to me, Onkyo's highs seem tinny, which really bugs me.
In that price range, you'd have to go with a low-end Denon.
Do you want the HD audio (TrueHD or DTS HD-MA) decoding? These are on Blu-ray and HD DVD discs.

While I don't own a HD-DVD or BR player, I suppose at some point I'd make the upgrade. I suppose I'd want to make sure whatever I buy gives me what I need for the future.

+1 for the RXV-1800. I've researched, & that's the 1 I'm getting when I'm ready to upgrade in a few months.
I have a old Yamaha DSP 2092 that's working great for me. But I want to upgrade to new tech like you.
What kind of deal can you get on this?

I'm not even sure I can get a second. My pops can be a stickler. But like I said, when I'm ready. I'll find out for you.
