Wow, thank you all for your help! Can anyone make a recommendation of a reasonably priced AV Receiver that would have this phantom mode and also run the Aerius?
If you don't need to decode any new 7.1 format, I suggest a used Yamaha DSP-A1. It is probably 5 or 6 year old technology but it is surprisingly good sounding, reliable, flexible, and easy to use. It was listed for $2,400 when new, you can probably get one for $500 - $700 in the used market.
