I'm thinking of picking up the Integra DTC-9.8, the same prepro Ruined and Taxi have, but in order to use it for now I would be using my Yamaha DSP-A1 as the amp.
I'm thinking this might be less than optimial, and honestly I would rather use the A1 in another room for my game setup.


So I'm looking to spend $2000-$2500.

HDMI switching is a must, I'll have 3 sources, minimally to plug in. Though obviously I can pick up an external HDMI switch for little money.

I want it to decode all the latest sound formats.

Sound quality is a must, I want it to sound at least as good as my A1, though obviously I'm expecting better since that's such an old machine at this point and $2500 should buy something better.

My room is rather large (30x20)



So my list so far:

Integra DTC-9.8 (plus use current A1 as an amp) ($1600)

Denon AVR-4308CI ($2500)
Marantz SR8002 ($2000)

What else should I look at?
Does anyone have any points to discuss regarding these choices?
