I actually prefer less tech (wifi, apps...) in an AVR as it usually becomes outdated and you end up with more issues/ more things to break. We all have our streaming devices anyway.
I have a 4K Chromecast hooked up via an HDMI audio extractor. I use that to mix in some Karaoke! I also have a Switch an and aging Xbox360 plugged in to the other ports. Everything works great. My Samsung tv is the trouble maker here. I actually need to turn off E-ARC for it to work...
I got that JAMO set when it was in sale as well. Pure copper wires FTW! Super happy with the setup.
THIS MODEL HAS NOOOOOO DOLBY ATMOS

I would hope Newegg is selling the more recently manufactured versions where it is fixed, but not sure.

Edit : never mind I just saw NO Dolby Atmos
https://usa.yamaha.com/products/a...index.html
YES Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, HLG (passthrough of all HDR specs)
YES 8K60, 4K120, VRR, ALLM (great for gaming)
NO Dolby Atmos (no ceiling channels)
NO Zone 2 (Zone B is not the same thing) this will not support different audio streams to 2+ rooms. This will only play back one audio stream.
If you want YES to everything above, then wait for the Yamaha TSR-700 (identical to the RX-V6A) to go on sale. I got mine for $399 a few months ago via Woot.

I typically turn off Dolby Vision since very few setups handle it well, but I don't understand how that impacts sound since have anything to do with audio.
Audio is bland but a lot better than a TV speaker for sure. Comparable to a sound bar. Stereo to 5.1 mixing is not that great. Some channels are barely noticeable. I have small Klipsch speakers so driving them shouldn't be a problem, this is why I thought that this might be a good idea.
It also doesn't have the latest DTS technology. I learned my lesson, if you are buying it for the audio, make sure it has all the new buzz words
FYI - I tried to price match at Amazon, Best Buy, and Crutchfield unsuccessfully. Ended up placing the order with Newegg. Fingers crossed.
