Looks like they dropped Audyssey.

Both models include Onkyo’s proprietary AccuEQ calibration system

I'm betting they just dropped Audyssey for these two units in order to keep these at a decent price point. I think Audyssey cut off at the 4x4 series last year, so it looks like they might be cutting off at the 636 this time around.
 
I was thinking you'd see Audyssey in higher units as well. Pioneer seems to have added a sub eq to MCACC. Interesting.

Since Ive gone to a standalone amp, Im on the lookout for HDMI 2.0 separates.

Same here ( HDMI 2.0 pre-amp ) but might use my 40% card on the Emotiva XMC-1 ( or wait for RMC-1 ) and pay more for the HDMI 2.0 upgrade OR just get another AVR to use with my amps. Dolby Atmos might be closer than we think for home theater, so maybe I'll wait for both. I'm in no particular rush to get HDMI 2.0/4K, so I could easily wait the two or three years it would take to actually see any mass amounts of content.
 
Me too. Im using the Denon X4000 as a pre pro, so its not a need, just a want.

I figure next year will be a 4K display and 4K pre pro for me. I really want a 70+" but Im going to see how they review this year.
