Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade my Onkyo TX-SR507 AV Receiver since adding a 4k TV and PS4 Pro to my setup. It's done me well, but only handles 1080p which is limiting me on sound formats from the PS4 pro (I have to use HDMI to TV and optical for audio). Key features of a new model would be banana plug terminals, 4k & HDR passthrough, ARC, and a minimum of 5 HDMI inputs, all for around the £300 mark. New audio formats such as DTS-X would be a bonus, but i'm not sure how much benefit i'd gain from these. The same goes for Atmos as I only really have room for a 5.1 arrangement.
I've been eyeing up the Denon AVR-X2300W since it's recent price drop it ticks all my boxes, but I wanted to get some opinions first. Are there any other models I should be considering? It's also ever so slightly taller than the old Onkyo, what sort of clearance does it need?
As a side question, with the deals happening on 2016 models have we seen all of the 2017 models released or are there more product launches around the corner?
Thanks!
