Hey everyone,
I'm finally putting together the "home theater" part of a home theater and receivers are new territory for me and tad overwhelming.
Wirecutter recommended the x3700h and I want to make sure it's the right buy for my needs 
Current setup:
- Nvidia Shield Pro + JDS Atom DAC -> SMSL DA-9 amplifier -> MAOP 11 towers (35 watt speakers)
- Picture fed to a projector (BenQ HT2050A, 1080p@60hz)
I will be building another MAOP 11 center channel and possibly getting a subwoofer or two to go 3.1/2, with the eventual goal of 5.1/2 (I think 7 will be overkill).
Things that interest me:
- Pass-through for stereo listening, unless anyone knows if the 3700 outperforms my current Atom DAC + SMSL DA-9 setup?
- Using the Nvidia Shield Pro as my media hub for Plex, Spotify, etc.
- I also use Nvidia streaming from my PC to my projector. My friends may bring over a console as well
Would the 3700 be overkill?
Thanks in advance!
