..and think I may have found what I am looking for: R50.

I would like your thoughts and wisdom. Here are the criteria:

Under $150 (I can get the R50 for $90)

Control:

Oppo BDP-83
Tivo HD with two FIOS cablecards
Pioneer Kuro 500M
Oppo 971H
Yamaha RX-V663

Thank you.

You joined in 2005 and today is your first post. Now i know how long it takes to read a million posts :).

The pioneer and yamaha are the two important devices because of input selection. Pioneer should have discrete commands and your receiver DOES have them. Both Oppo's have discrete power.

The R50 should work well.

You had better believe it :) That must be some kind of record, huh!!

Thanks, I was hoping I made a good choice or I would have felt the last 4 years were wasted!!!

I will report back with my findings (within a year).
