I bought a Yamaha RX-V377 a few years ago, and it has served me well for the most part. The only downside I noticed was when I bought my first 4k TV 4 years ago I discovered that this receiver isn't technically designed with 4k capability. I have worked around that by connecting my 4k streaming device to one end of this 4k HDCP Converter and the other end to the receiver, but I would ideally like to move away from having to use extra parts like that. Given all this, I haven't been looking into receivers in years, so I have no idea whats out there and I was hoping someone could recommend me a good 4k receiver on a budget, preferably under $200. I wouldn't even need the new receiver to be an upgrade from the V377, it could be virtually identical but include HDCP 2.2, and I would be satisfied. Even pre-owned would be fine if that is recommended. My current components are:
  • Samsung 4K TV
  • 4K FireTV Stick - HDMI
  • Turntable fed through a pre-amp - RCA cables
  • Sony Blu-ray Player - HDMI
  • Steam Link - HDMI
Appreciate any and all suggestions!
 
What about this Sony? Seems to meet my requirements, but like I said I'm pretty uninformed on this stuff. There are a bunch of recognizable brands on this list. Most of them seem to be out of stock at the moment, but I don't need to pull the trigger right away if any of these seem like a good bang for my buck and worth waiting on a restock or if they're in stock elsewhere.
