I'm getting a Sony X900E and it's really pissing me off only 2 of the HDMIs are actually worth a damn (only 2 of 4 are full bandwidth). My problem is I have multiple things that'll do 4K and most of them involve gaming (Xbox, PS4, 2 PCs etc), so I don't want to add input lag. Bad enough the new TV has more input lag for 1080 sources than my old one. So are there good receivers that can passthrough without adding lag? Or would a good switch be better? I've had issues with PCs and HDMI switches before, but I never figured out if it was the video card or linux drivers since the windows box was hooked up the same way without issue.
I used to have a Denon that I really liked because it remembered the master volume level of each input individually, so I wondered if they still do that or any other brands do. Always hated switching inputs and getting blasted by something because the volume was cranked for a DVD/BD.
A Zone 2 would also be quite useful.
p.s. Am I the only one who's annoyed that after all these years receivers still act like space heaters and have those flimsy ventilated tops you can't stack anything on? I mean, it's like 40 pounds. You can't really set the receiver on top of the BD player. I'd seriously like to see a receiver with cooling fans and a solid top.
