Alternatives to Emotiva UMC-1/audio vs HDMI

Looking to move up from my Emotiva LMC-1 for better sound processing, not for HDMI handling. My surround speaker set-up is offset, so individual setting would be great. Also, would like to improve on cable, USB processing. Is there anything to compare with the UMC-1 in these areas? All comments appreciated.
Thanks, Jon
