Well, it's been a while ago, where the last time I have done an amplifier, so this is now purely subjective. But what of all can I find really good. And with the WLAN stick, TP-Link TL-WN721N, just a dream. Internet Radio, DLNA and another thing I have not tried listening wirelessly over the Fritz! Box. Upon arrival I also draufgespielt same with a USB flash drive the latest firmware, lasted about 10 minutes. At the AVR I run 2 floorstanding speakers, JBL HP-430, and a center speaker, also from JBL. Music is the setting Neo: 6 Music really beautiful far and plays beautifully with the front-LS and the center box together. For TV, the Dolby PLII attitude is very good. If you correctly adjust the center box from Level ago and Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume to light then make films directional Gaudi such. As the snorting of King Kong (last film). One thinks one stands next to him. The AVR does in movies also very nice bass but these do not like a timpani but hit very deep and powerful are. Application for the AVR's music (DLNA and Internet Radio), Playstation (games and Blueray), TV, Movies on TV and DLNA PC. The only drawbacks is the remote control. You can also control the TV with this. But you press the input button and TV will then again so has to control the AVR you only press again what is like to forget the "Receiver" button. Is just pure matter of habit :-) The AVR is in my opinion very hot, hotter than my old Pioneer. Even with low noise emissions. Hopefully not as much power needs as hot as is. But so far he has durchgehelten yes. Is probably also by the mainboard with the DSPs and the image processors. Oh yes. I had this same ordered an optical cable and an HDMI cable for the TV to do so. As for the ARC HDMI cable not funtzte that was just right with the optical cable. With another cable While the ARC work but without ARC and for incorporating an optical cable is me anyway prefer to get the TV sound to the AVR as one the AVR next TV then can use for music. Otherwise, I'm not so speci what Hifi terms but I'm absolutely delighted with the TX-NR515. Update: just noticed that streams the remote app Onkyo also play music directly from the phone to the TX-NR515, without NAS because it is from. I used to have copied some tracks on the SD card in the phone, promptly finds the remote app and streams them to the AVR. From because Apple Air Play, Android Air Play is announced :-) Just great.
Addendum: Why the TX-NR515 is steadily becoming more expensive? If demand is so great? Are the successor models by as much equipped worse? Or is it just a very good receiver? Wonder because I had paid in July 2013, only just over half the current price ...
