I am getting set to upgrade my receiver to one which will give me uncompressed audio in all its offerings (Dolby TrueHD, DTSHD-MA, PCM), and I am currently looking at three models: The Denon AVR-2308CI, the Pioneer Elite VSX-91TXH, and the Onkyo SR-705.

I am seriously considering these three, and would like the input of members here, to get some views to help out. My budget is not a concern, but I do not want to shell out more for the Denon or Pioneer if they do not have advantages over the Onkyo which would justify the price difference. Any information on this is greatly appreciated.

A few last notes: I have read on Pioneer's website that the Elite only upscales to 480p. Will the Denon and Pioneer upscale 5.1 PCM to 7.1? Lastly, are there any known issues w/ these (I do realize that these are very new, so not too much is expected here).

Thank you all in advance.
