Do both ? I mean I really do not want to spend another $500 to do both but I have come this far with my AV setup and I hate to stop short. But with the S-300 and my receiver there is no way of decoding True HD lossless audio s something has to give....thanks again

I'm not familiar with the S-300 but I think it can bitstream TrueHD and DTS HDMA via HDMI. So you can get the Onkyo 605 and use that for another three years or you could get the S-500 and then in three years get a HDMI receiver. That's really up to you and what you think all of this is worth.

I have a PS3 so if I was in your situation, I'd get a HDMI receiver.
