If you want HDMI connection, then you are in the AV Receiver/processor space which is what your UMC-1 is. Pick the one that has all the features you want for a cost you are willing to pay. If you are only stereo out there are other options that will provide better sound quality than the UMC-1, such as a DAC/preamp, but you would have to run separate cables to the TV from your video sources and the audio sources into the DAC/preamp.
