Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver (Internet radio, DLNA, Apple iPod / iPhone compatible, 130 W / channel) Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

Mostly I listen to jazz and classical music, mostly via File Streaming, sometimes on the radio. A 5.1 or 7.1 device with unnecessary for me technique I did not, therefore, looking for a more favorable unit (here I would like the Amazon Warehouse deal highly recommended, the most best quality at reduced prices offer). First choice were thus the smaller stereo receiver from Onkyo and Denon, especially since I have long no longer lay my LPs and therefore no phono input (to the Onkyo) need. Sonically also provide equipment of the class to max. 300.- much, it must be installed so no superfluous multichannel components, the number of inputs is sufficient as a rule likewise.
Luckily I came across the Onkyo TX-8050, the mainly provides a USB and an Ethernet port. But it had to be the significant extra cost? Music files and Internet radio can also be via a laptop or mobile phone via Bluetooth to the system stream (who thinks it should purchase the very beautiful Logitech Bluetooth receiver, the very good and simple works for little money). But as for me, such a device rather than holding decades years, I decided despite a lack of need for additional expenditure for the more advanced solution with USB, Internet and DLNA.
After building and the first makeshift wiring, the test offered the same with a USB flash drive to: straightaway a great sonic breakthrough, the sound was warmer, more transparent and more dynamic than the streaming via Bluetooth or Media Player. It's at home here, the better signal processing on the front USB input noticeable. The overview of the display when playing files in folders, etc. are exemplary, the navigation of sticks and large capacity storage devices quickly, better than in some other players. Very pleasant to be able to address stick or hard drive directly is without additional equipment with other remote controls.
The Internet feature I have not tested due to time constraints. Also nice features like "Zone 2" (parallel play a second audio source in another room) is not. But only the small USB port with its beautiful features (it can also accommodate a WLAN stick, then he is but occupied - nice makes for the use of the rear Ethernet socket eg using a wireless repeater, etc., if one no cable connection can make or want to) and its very good sound potential worth buying this also visually appealing device definitely.
For stereo friends and 5.1 / 7.1-skeptics an excellent choice.
