I'm still using my Sony TA-E9000ES pre/pro which I purchased 16 years ago. This unit still satisfies, that's to say, I do not perceive that upgrade or replacement will inspire my HT experience. After all, if the upgrade does not have a meaningful benefit, what's the point. The only thing I've recently contemplated is an OPPO 105. It would allow me to listen to multi channel SACDs, as well as get more up to date multi channel processing, which I can route to my multi channel analog preamp (Sony TA-P9000ES). I purchased that amp about 16 years ago too, but only installed it a few years ago after realizing the benefit of connecting it to my Panasonic Bluray Player's analog outputs. Bottom line, don't replace unless it stops working and can't be fixed. Instead, just add an Apple TV or Airport Express to integrate a laptop into your HT for network entertainment and convenience,
BTW, it seems to me that the latest HDMI stuff effectively precludes recording or copying. I have no need, or desire to copy any material; but, sometimes, having a copy rather than playing from laptop would be a godsend.
