Dolby Pro Logic was what was available in the early 90's.
Then came DD5.1 and DTS in the 90's.
And now we have like 30 more options in the past 10 years that are very slight improvements even if you happen to have an ideal environment to benefit from them. Even so, the improvement pales in comparison to what 5.1 was over the old Pro Logic. But the push them out, convince us we have to have it, and obsolete our old equipment so we have to buy more stuff.
Same with video. HD over 480p anamorphic was a gigantic leap. 4k is also a pretty big leap IF you have a big screen, and IF the source material was filmed in fine enough detail to warrant it (spoiler alert: most movies made before 1990, 4k is already exceeding the detail of the source film).
I'm keeping my Yamaha RX2010 (9.2) as my sound processor works for me (YPAO). I do have front presence speakers and 4 surrounds, with 2 subs, not sure what Atmos would add, as my family room isn't perfect. Probably not much, but not sure I'd want to spend 2k on another AV.
I just added a 8k Switch with an Audio extractor.
Pretty jaded already after upgrading in wall HDMI cables (prolly an HDCP issue), lubbing cables and pulling and cutting drywall at times or else Xbox X wouldn't work right with the extractor. Now it does.
I don't actually care about 8k at all, but it seems like videogames and new streamers will push the HDCP side of things, IDK
I will consider completely separating audio from video, with preamps and power amps if this craziness continues into HDMI 3.3b and HDCP 4.0 etc.

I apologize I don't have any advice for you problem but I do have a question you can help with. Does this Onkyo receiver have the privacy warning screen you have to address every time you power it on?
After going through the initial setup, I don't receive any messages upon startup.

What if you use AI-assisted DLSS, XeSS, FSR upscaling along with AI-assisted dynamic HDR uplighting? This would be a significant enough change even for ugly old movies from the 90s or even earlier?
• 220 W/Ch (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD)
Whenever these companies advertise power with 10% THD, they're being very disingenuous. That much distortion will destroy speakers and is unusable.
Onkyo has really went the way of walmart. 10% harmonic voltage distortion on a flagship receiver? LOL
That can't be right, can it?
From Onkyo website: 100 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC)
From Onkyo website: 100 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC)
i'm not aware of any standardized test for a 4ohms. so comparing any 4ohm data from different manufacturers would be meaningless if the methods are different.
And the new upper Onkyo models have Dirac which is far superior to the room correction software in other products.
