In November, I picked up an Integra DHC-80.2 from Accessories4less. It's a factory-refreshed 2011 model. If this is what Onkyo/Integra was doing seven years ago, their current products must be really impressive.
Their current flagship is the DRC-R1, but they will soon be releasing the DRC-R1.1.
Both are 11.2-ch featuring Dolby Atmos and a wide range of other decoding schemes.
Although the 2011 model I have isn't the latest and greatest, it has a fundamentally excellent sound, excellent component isolation inside, and a far better selection of codecs, surround enhancements, and room correction software than my previous AVP, a 2013 $599 model from Emotiva. The 2018 R1.1 model will be all that much better with two more channels (11.2) the latest codecs (e.g., Dolby Atmos), and support for wireless -- Google Cast, AirPlay, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and streaming services including TIDAL, Pandora, Spotify and TuneIn.
That should keep you busy for awhile.
Current MSRP for the R1 is $2500, but expect the price to drop when the R1.1 is released.
