Hey guys,

I'm thinking of getting a 4K TV in the next couple of months so need a new AVR.

I currently have a Denon X1000 that I got from Vaughan almost 4 years ago that is still running great without a days issues.
Ok I'm lying, it has given me one problem when I was playing the skydiving scene from Iron Man 2 and the wife complained that the sounds was to loud  :giggle:

So I'm looking for the AVR first so that I'm ready with the HDR/4K pass-through from the HTPC/AppleTV/XboxX/etc when the new TV arrives.
Currently my setup is a 5.1 and don't see that being changed anything soon in the room I currently have the TV setup.
Maybe 5.2 for extra sub or 5.1.2 for front height speakers but don't want to break the bank for the extra speakers if I just need the HDR/4K pass-through ports.

Any suggestions on (at least) 5in/1out HDMI port AVR that does 5.1+ with HDR/4K pass-through?
I'm not "brand loyal" as such so any brand should work.

Quick search I have found the following so any opinions one these would be appreciated:
Denon X1300W
Denon AVR-x520bt
Denon X2300W
Denon X1400H
Yamaha RX-V381
Yamaha RX-V581
Onkyo TX-NR555
Pioneer VSX-924

Any other model suggestion or ideas would also be welcome  :thumbs:

Cheers,
