Hi all,
I think my Integra's HDMI board is just about to give up the ghost...and from what I've been able to find out it won't be cheap to fix. I still have to do a little troubleshooting to make sure it is the culprit, but I am about 90% sure it is, and I figure it can't hurt to ask the question. So I am at yet another crossroads...trying to decide whether to stick with separates and buy another pre/pro or just grab a really good receiver and sell the Parasound amp. HDMI switching is extremely important to me and the more inputs, the better...I'd like a minimum of 5, if possible. At this point, I can get by with 5-channel sound...that's all I plan on running for the foreseeable future and my amp is a 5-channel unit. I would prefer not to spend a great deal on whatever I buy since I have made a few non-audio-related significant purchases lately. So in other words, I am just like everyone else in the world and I want a huge amount of performance and functionality for not too much money! :biglaugh: Anyway, I guess I really have three options:
1 - buy a HDMI capable pre-pro to use with the Parasound.
2 - buy a nice receiver and sell the Parasound.
3 - buy a good receiver with pre-outs and use it as a pre/pro.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Specific recommendations or general thoughts are equally welcome. I really wish the Integra didn't seem intent on forcing my hand on this...but things do seem to be getting worse instead of better...such is life, I guess.
Thanks,
Randy
