Nate, do any of the Yamaha AVR's meet your requirements? I ended up with this http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/tsr/tsr-7810/ at This price https://slickdeals.net/f/9477303-yamaha-tsr-7810-rx-v781-7-2-channel-atmos-4k-uhd-hdr-atmos-dts-x-wifi-bluetooth-home-theater-receiver-costco-com-449-99-fs as i needed/wanted * 4K HDR (HDCP 2.2 / HDMI 2.1 ) * pre outs for the AVI 2.1 Active speakers / SVS subwoofer Other's in the range may meet your requirements. Threads on avsform.com dissect the models / feature sets (and what is common) A friend who recently went 4K, uses the TV the input source (including the built in apps), and then the TV's optical out into a (sonos) soundbar for audio output, So his wife only has one remote (the TV remote) to deal with. Reduces box count as well. Only the Built in apps (Amazon / Netflix / YouTube) , the UHD/HDR Blu Ray player and the Nvidia shield are 4K / UHD / HDR Latest amazon fire is 4K but only HDMI 1.4 so no HDR , but their app is now on the Nvidia shield. Apple TV still only HD currently, Nvidia shield Android TV / Live TV app allows use of the HDPrime and cable card, which is handy and also why i have an 8 port Gigabit hub in the AV cabinet. I noticed occasional Audio dropouts from the Amazon App on the TV over Toslink during The Grand Tour UHD / HDR - but the Nvidia Shield over HDMI doesn't seem to suffer from this. Never got around to trying the ARC / HDMI 2 connection . Plenty of options, plenty of connections, plenty of fragmentation in terns of content / sources. Even after setting everything up to use a harmony hub so it can all be controlled by 1 remote with physical buttons ( no unlocking device + finding app etc), it's still non trivial to navigate around to answer the question "i'd like to watch something good" Interesting that it seems we'll need to use computer/machine vision and AI to unify all these disparate interfaces so our other halves don't get frustrated when "I just want to watch TV, how hard can it be?" http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/15/14620510/caavo-tv-streaming-box-machine-vision-ai-gamechanger EDIT: for illustration This Is replaced by this (Other than voice search / commands which is occasionally useful, YMMV)
