Like the 1709? I am wondering that myself at this very moment, I just missed it when I was looking earlier. It seems to have exactly everything the 507B has, minus a HDMI input and plus the Audyssey/video upconversion. Would that be your assessment as well? Since the HDMI is 1.3a, it will pass the audio via HDMI as well, correct? Seems like you just saved me $60. Thanks for the kindly suggestion
.
EDIT: just answered my own question on audio passthrough. It does not support it. So if I am correct that means no TrueHD or DTS-HD, correct? In that case I may stick with the Onkyo.
