Classic meets modern

At the moment this unit is probably unrivaled in the market. In the best stereo tradition it does not attempt x channels to accommodate a limited budget, but provides solid hi-fare. You can hear that! He also lets owners of record collections do not stand in the rain and provides a phono input. For the CD player may rest. Who outsources its digital music on the network, can easily access it via DLNA. That works pretty well. However, the function is highly dependent on the functionality of the streaming server. For example, it would make sense to deliver to the TX 8050 only music files. He is also good at the (meaningless for him) selection of pictures and video, if the server it will.

Various Internet music services (Aupeo, last.fm, etc.) available for dauerdudeln. But their range is often an insult to a good stereo system. This is not different here.

Highlights:
+ Phono input
+ 4 digital inputs
+ Network function incl. Lossless formats (WAV, FLAC)
+ Automatic shutdown if no (digital) signal is present
+ Very good standby power consumption + elegant classic design
+ Remote control via Android App

improvement:
o flac is not gapless playback (other formats I have not tested, according Onkyo is working on a solution -. fix firmware update)
o glaring blue LED at "Direct Audio"

weak:
- Volume control from plastic
