What home cinema amp for Sony BDP-S350

I currently have a Cambridge Audio Azur 540R that I've had a few years now mated to Mordaunt Audio genie 5.1 speakers.

Would like to upgrade to be able to play HD audio (DTS HD & DD HD)

Firstly does my Bluray via HDMI support these formats?

And 2ndly what amp on a £400 budget. I'm leaning towards a Onkyo TX-SR607 that gets awesome reviews and plays the new formats? I also have a HTPC so use Media Center for my Freesat and listen to music, so stereo sound is also a top priority.

Many thanks

I don't think the BDP-S350 decodes DTS HD & DD HD so you'll need an amp to decode it for you

I just bought a Sony STR-DH800 recently which fits in to your budget easily, will decode pretty much any current sound format. Works brilliantly, very pleased with it so far! Played some CD's through it to, and didnt think it was bad at all.

Onkyo 507 works great with my S350
