I'm looking to upgrade my audio system with a new AV receiver. I was looking to spend under $500, but I'd be willing to go over $500 if it really makes a big difference. My current audio system looks like this...
Samsung BD-C6500 Blu Ray Player
(connected via toslink optical)
Music Fidelity V-DAC
Sony STR-DE425 A/V Receiver
Definitive StudioMonitor 450 stereo speakers
I also connect my ipod to the receiver via a Cables To Go 4-Foot RCA Stereo to Dock Connector Cable.
I use this system for mostly for TV and Movies, but I care a lot more about how my music sounds than how TV or Movies sound on the system. Any receiver suggestions would be appreciated, as well as any other suggestions on how to improve my system.
