This may or may not fit your needs, but look at my review of the AMC AV81HT-DD on audioreview's web site (I'm the guy who really liked it). I think I sense where you're coming from here on 2-channel being very important. Anyway, this unit is analog mostly (no AD followed by DA conversion for analog sources). Only 2 digital inputs, so satellite and dvd may be all you can fit. You didn't specify video switching requirements, so you should know that there is no S-video switching, only composite switching, but I send my DVD video via S-video directly to my TV anyway. No phono stage, but I added an external one. This unit is (for me) simple and a joy to use and listen to. A bit pricey ($1400 US) but look for a gently used one for half that (I saw one on E-bay recently). Just a thought.
