Hello,
You might try the new Bryston SP-1. It dose not have any video switching. It can decode all current popular music and hometheater play back modes:DPL, DD(AC-3),DTS ETC... I heard the unit first hand at a local dealer back in December. Most impressive. Avalible in black and silver face plate. Also it's modular so it can be upgraded for future formats and last but not least it has the Bryston 20 year warranty.
California Audio Labs Has new set-up out. The CL-2500SSP is the processor and with the CL-2500VSW handles video switching in a seperate chassis. I have no experince wiyh it but CAL has a good reputation.
Proceed Also has the same set up with thier PAV/PDSD. The idea being that the video won't interfear with the audio when in seperate chassis allowing optimum music and audio/video play back. This is not a cheap way to go though.
I personally have own the Proceed AVP thier all in one processor. It allows analog sources to go through with out processing them to digital which allows excellent 2 channel sound. It also handles video switching.
It has been been a all-round pleasure to own. There's lot's of good choices out there,but in the end it comes down to personal choice and no two people agree on everything. Hope this helps good luck in your search!
