Pioneer Elite VSX-92TXH
Great sound and great features!
From Audioholics Online A/V Magazine:
The back panel of the 92 features 3 HDMI 1.3a inputs and an output. If you use analog connectivity it also has 3 assignable component video inputs as well as an output. 6 S-video and 7 composite inputs finish out the video array. In case you were worried, there are also a total of 10 analog audio inputs so you shouldn’t run out of connectivity. There is even a phono input for moving magnet cartridges in case you want to add a turntable to your A/V system. There are also dedicated inputs for Ipod, Sirius and XM radio. You should be able to connect any and every input device you own to the 92.
The VSX-92THX has a clean and accurate digital processor. It produces no audible artifacts and steers the signals exactly as one would expect. The sound presentation is right on the money and exciting to hear for someone like me who hasn’t had a high quality processor as good as this one before. It features decoders for about every digital audio scheme ever devised including the latest Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master. It provides video scaling up to 1080p with a Faroudja DCDi scaler. It provides conversion from analog to HDMI or lower analog connections to component video.
Are there better processors? I’m sure there are but this one blows me away since my prior experience is just with an old Marantz pre/pro that had nothing beyond Dolby Digital and an Onkyo 605 receiver which has a very poor processor compared to this one. I could be blown away again, I suppose, but I’m pretty impressed with this one…more
