I have FULL external 125W/C all channels driven so AVR is of little interest to me at this time.
there is a range of videos in the other $$$ area too
These are all US$ ranges so remains to be seen how the pricing and support is here…I can’t tahan this guys YT style but he does get into a lot of comparisons even down to reliability.
Reliability is where I need to focus as the current situation has my wife totally unimpressed even just using the XMC as a switch/passthru - so its in standby having/causing audio issues but should get fixed in firmware. I dont want another unit / brand with issues either - better just to bypass as I am doing now with a 4:2 4k Hdmi splitter/switch and using the TV speakers.
