I am trying to update my system from a Denon AVR-3300 and get something with HDMI inputs
I decided I wanted to get Audyssey room correction Multi EQ and up as its highly recommended and can eq the Sub.
I then ordered the Denon 1713 for a good price but the company that I ordered it from says its back ordered and wants me to get the 1913 instead but only looking to spend ~400 unless its really needed to go up. I was looking at the comparable Onkyo but I read that their 2012 line is suffering from reliability issues so I decided to skip that brand
I currently have Polk RM7500 5.1 system
DirecTV HR24
and
Sony BluRay Player
I was looking at the Denon 1613 which is $350 on Amazon
All I can tell is that the 1613 compared to the 1713 does not have Video Up conversion(Analog to HDMI) and 1080 Upscaling.
I will not be hooking anything up via RCA/Analog Inputs so I dont need Analog to HDMI. But what is 1080 Upscaling? Doesn't the DirecTV and BluRay player do this already?
Or does it do something extra to the SD Content from the DirecTV receiver.
Are there any other receiver recommendations?
I was also looking at Marantz NR1403 but it has less power per channel (50watts)
