Of the Costco trinity, consensus was that the Denon worked the best, but sounded the worst. The Yamaha sounded the best, but people still could never get it to work with HDMI for 4k/120hz or VRR. The Onkyo has the prettiest menus, was the easiest to setup, and has the nicest features(2x hdmi out). The Onkyo sounded slightly better than the Denon, but still noticeably worse than the Yamaha, and was the least reliable. I like products that work and are reliable, so I landed on Denon.

edit: I would only be connecting a 5.1 system to it at this point in time since my living space is pretty small. I assume I should save that extra $200 and go with the Yamaha?

I really like the Denon Heos software environment and also have a Denon soundbar for a different TV and also 2 Denon Heos Links that feed my two Class A/B amps that drive bigass (TM) speakers. Originally I used hacked Raspberry Pi approaches to get networked whole-home audio but moved to Heos for a better overall software experience. Heos handles Amazon Music at high bitrate (what I use) along with the major other online providers. The Heos multiroom control is excellent in my opinion. From the phone app you can control speaker selections and input/output selections on all devices.
In brief, I went with Denon for the Heos. I use it all the time whole-house multiroom with 4 nodes, and find the software to work well and not be frustrating. I have never heard an audio lag between the various nodes, temporal synchronization between nodes has always been perfect.
Also to people commenting on getting the receiver for $250 or lower. That was a ymmv deal. I tried in 4 different costco when the thread was active and I had no luck.
Any thoughts on this Onkyo?
And Amazon has the Denon refurbished for $369.99 currently.

I bought this over the Yamaha for the Atmos, better comparison reviews, and the 8K for futureproofing
I cant complain, its been solid, the 2016 4K Samsung TV its attached to has created issues of not getting the most out of it but that's why I bought this to get the most out of it when I upgrade the TV

Edit: it does not
I was pulling my hair on Onkyo as the rsl sub wasnt thumbing and the sorround wasnt sound loud unless I increase volume to 60+.
I will order this and test.
I waited for onkyo to go on sale but it seems I got to buy Denon to compare. Just pita on losing citi additional warranty on this.
Do you need 12 or 14 guage? My amazon basics 16g max cable was 27ft length.
Also at random times, when switching to avr hdmi for sound options, the tv flickers. Swich off and on entire setup to make it go away.
