The Yamaha hasn't had the board upgrade so will have issues with my consoles. I'm reluctant to use eARC due to a known Xbox/Sony TV/Atmos/4k 120HZ issues as I mentioned. So I'm kind of torn on whether or not it's worth unpacking the Yamaha as it would then only sound quality differences I'd be testing....and yes absolutely the most important thing is how it sounds but I'm thinking what I don't know won't hurt me!!! Once the room is painted (this week) and my media cabinet arrives (9th December) I'll set it up but conscious that's almost 2 weeks to compare them
Yamaha mosels built and sold since the summer of this year do apparently include the revised HDMI board and chipset and wouldn't require the free upgrade to replace the HDMI chipset. Models built since then had the revised board fitted at the point of manufacture.
Also note that Yamaha issued the firmware update required to facilitate 4K 120Hz and 8K 60Hz over the weekend.
