burndonesinkchair , yes same train of thought as mine. Other ways to get HDMI switching. To be clear to the OP, in my experience using optical out of tv would downmix the audio to 2.0 PCM. TV streaming may still be 5.1, but not external sources. Using an outboard HDMI switch would preserve the 5.1
Help! Receiver or preamp? Im overwhelmed...
I need some help. Been gone for years and much has changed and Im just overwhelmed with the years of info on the forums. I dont want to make a foolish decision and would so appreciate the communities gracious knowledge and assistance.
Im 75% music and 25% HT.
Gear:
Paradigm Studio 100 v4 mains Paradigm CC690 center
Paradigm V2monitor surrounds
SVS PB13 Ultra Sub
Emotiva XPA 5 amp (200x5)
Keeping all the above
The old 5 channel Rotel HT1055 receiver (no HDMI) needs to upgrade even though I love the sound! Im fine with 5.1 and not interested in Atmos. Im also fine with a used item. What do you reccomend for some killer sound and updated HDMI?
