Customer Review

Have 2 weeks before my Onkyo TX-NR609 Receiver replaced by this device.
I use so far only the audio with two good speakers (via bi-amping).

Here my previous conclusion:

+ Relatively simple setup and configuration.
+ Amazingly sound at 128 kbps MP3s and Internet radio (div. Configurable sound enhancer)
+ More FM Transmitter as with my old device found.
+ Integrated WLAN and Bluetooth.
+ Airplay via WLAN and Bluetooth is working properly.
+ Spotify Connect funzt.
+ Text display with large letters (50+ ;-)
+ Network Standby with relatively low power consumption (enables Wake up via mobile device)
+ Sophisticated operating concept.
+ Div. Configuration changes via browser possible (even without a connected TV)
+ Unobtrusive configurable sound enhancer (can be disabled for purists)
+ 4 freely assignable input select button on the unit and remote control.

- High price (as of 9/2014)
- Controls / front panel made of plastic or similar (But OK)

My by far been the best audio receiver (hence this review), would buy the part immediately.

Addendum December 2014:
Has had in the meantime several times unresponsive, the problem of the receiver on the remote control for more intensive use of the iApp and I had to briefly pull the plug. Hoping for a firmware update. Am still very satisfied.
