For now, sure, because TrueHD et. al are relatively new codecs. Within 6 months, there will be plenty of options available from the highend brands.

Although honestly I'm not sure what the bells and whistles actually get you here. I would put my DTC-9.8 up against this receiver for sure in terms of sound quality & video processing quality. Bells and whistles? Maybe not as many, but if they are just bells and whistles for show that do not significantly affect the a/v quality in any great way then again I'm not sure what you are getting that is worth such a price premium. I could think of better ways to blow cash, I guess, like speakers
