Good receiver for audio

I purchased this receiver to replace a 13 year old Sony that was starting to lose sound to the front channels. I purchased it because I liked the sound of my old receiver and read good reviews on this unit. I am very pleased with the audio this receiver puts out. It has plenty of power and produces a somewhat airy sound that I find pleasing. It pairs nice with our mobile devices and music is very enjoyable. My intent was to not only have good audio, but also be able to upscale video to 4k. What I have found to be the negative is that I am unable to upscale Dish service to 4k with this receiver. It will upscale blu-ray, but not tv channels or Apple TV. I have called Sony tech support numerous times and have been met with rude support people all but one of my calls, and each call has ended when they put me on hold and I am disconnected. I am unable to find out if this will upscale with Directv and hope someone reading this will have that answer as no one at Sony seams to know. I would return this but am out of the 14 days Best Buy allows. My son has a Yamaha that upscales nicely and should have purchased that. Will probably sell, take the hit, and NOT purchase Sony again.
