Can't recommend anything in the "league" you seem to want. That's because I'm probably even more easily annoyed by deficient and restricted processing ability. So...you have to move "down" a league to get something that does the job, and whose firmware is kept up-to-date and bug-free.
Analog mostly? Can't really help. Anthem drove me crazy, and I like Anthem, but see above paragraph. Classe maybe? Now, if you're mostly using digital-output sources, then Integra is reasonable. Maybe the top Denon pre-pros, I don't know how good their analog input capability is if you need that. I like their design much better than the Integras, but you pay for it.
My point is, I have only found the big names acceptable in keeping up with processing capability. The "other" names that we love just do not usually have the resources to address it in timely ways. Yes, I really value reliability, I use my gear *a lot*, and I get unreasonably annoyed when something ain't right. "Stepping down" from what I really wanted in my system was the only way to keep my sanity, relatively speaking.
