I explain all this on the first page...
Just found this, Tt eSPORTS BAHAMUT.
From the looks of it, it can decode DTS.
Wonder how it sounds compared to the Mixamp...
Didn't I read somewhere that the Wii U only supports surround sound via LPCM? If that is the case, you will never be able to get proper audio to your mixamp to be decoded as it needs a DD signal. You could get a receiver that supports Dolby Headphone so that you would have surround emulation though.

All Yamaha A/V receivers come with Silent Cinema, Yamaha's version of Headphone Surround Sound.
So no need for the Astro Mix-Amp.
Run HDMI from gaming console (WiiU) to Yamaha receiver, and the run HDMI from Yamaha to Monitor/TV
Plug headphones into Yamaha receiver.
As your using HDMI, your getting the best possible audio transfer from the WiiU.
What headphones do you have?
I 2nd PurpleAngel's solution; Yamaha's included Silent Cinema vs Dolby Headphone is too close to call, obviously the receiver would allow more sound signature adjustments (and multiple inputs and remote control), you can also connect to speakers, etc etc. A mixamp would be redundant, unless you want it just for the wireless. What do you get out of the 1100 dollar receiver you couldn't get out of a mid-range receiver, regarding headphone usage? Just curious what is driving you to the top range.
What DSP does it use?
