This might not be a big deal to many, but someone that is specifically looking for that capabilities, all the receivers are in the 700-800+ range for entry level stuff, so to have one that can do it in the $500 range is phenomenal, even though the brand ins Onkyo and is not favored as well by many die hard audiophiles.
Imo, this is a great buy, and I am someone who has spent about $15,000 on my home theater system. It's not right for me since I do 7.2.4 surround, but for someone maybe looking for high end audio in a normal family room, not like a dedicated home theater room, this is basically an awesome deal, and to have the security and backing of Costco to buy it from is even better, imo.

I have a 676 working pretty well now, but I'm still leery. I'll be in the market in the next couple months for an additional receiver and this new one is definitely a contender
If the Yamaha had dual HDMI outputs, I'd probably go with that based on previous experience

Made the switch to Yamaha TSR-700 a year ago. Was not in stock with Costco deal, so instead bought the Denon AVR-S750H for same price. Of course the Yamaha came back in stock the next day, so ordered that as well. Tested them side by side for a week and returned the Denon. The Yamaha is an all around better unit, especially the sound quality. Just got it back from free and painless HDMI 2.1 board exchange. I mainly use it for 4k HDR Atmos movies (Chromecast, Roku, Plex) as well as PC gaming with an RTX 3090.
"I gave up on Onkyo/Denon/Yamaha, and I find Onkyo/Denon/Yamaha to be better." None of these receivers are perfect. The BEST receiver for you is not the BEST receiver for others. Get both receivers (or all 3) from Costco, compare them at home, keep the best one that works for you. And for those of you still holding a grudge against Onkyo for the bad HDMI boards that they extended the warranty for and fixed, Onkyo has moved on, and their products over the last several years are no worse than their competitors.
I'm not into all of the other stuff with HDMI 2.1, I'm not a gamer, I bought it for movie playing only.
Only problem I ran into is with DirecTV Streaming box. Blu-Ray and Roku hooked up without a problem. But the DirecTV box will NOT hook up properly. I had to run the box straight to the TV, then Optimal sound to the receiver. But the DirecTV box would not hook up to my old Yamaha receiver either. I'm going to call DirecTV this weekend to get help with it.

Even if you have to bypass the receiver, you should be able to run the audio over ARC (Audio return Channel) so you can get sound without the optical cable.
