Need to upgrade a Pioneer VSX-32 to something that can pass 4k.
I am using external amplification so need pre outs for 7 channels. the front mains are bi-amped and I am actually running 5.1 speakers.
Anyway, the Pioneer LX-503 has the preouts as do similarly priced models from Marantz SR5012 and Denon X3400H. Just not sure if any of these have an advantage over any other. Or am I missing something by not looking at other brands. I chose these because a local retailer has them open box wit ha decent discount, all the same price.
I have been out of the home theater hardware market for a few years and a little confused about the latest audio formats and 4k video features. Thanks for any advice
