]]>The post Denon DRA-900H Stereo Receiver first appeared on Audiolab Stereo & Video Center.
]]>This Denon stereo receiver has a little something for everyone, like high-resolution audio playback from a USB thumb drive, HDMI inputs for an array of A/V components, and a MM phono input for vinyl afficionados. And with its built-in HEOS streaming platform, you can explore streaming music sources to rediscover old favorites or familiarize yourself with what “those kids” are listening to today.
Compared to a traditional surround sound system, a two-channel stereo system means less setup time, fewer speaker wires running through your living room, and more space to enjoy your music and movies. Sure it may not make you look over your shoulder, however, music will sound as it’s intended and you can still make your TV viewing sound much better than the 2 quarter sized speakers snuck into the TV’s super thin cabinet.
The DRA-900H features six 4K/60Hz HDMI inputs (three that are 8K and 4K/120Hz compatible) and one 4K/8K ARC HDMI output, so you can use it as the hub of a sweet two-channel audio/video setup. Plug in a game console, Apple TV or Roku, and a Blu-ray player in your living room or den, hook up your favorite pair of stereo speakers, and suddenly you’ve got way better sound than your TV’s built-in speakers could ever give you.
Built-in HEOS technology lets you easily play a wide range of digital music — from your personal library, internet radio stations, and popular streaming services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and TIDAL. Apple AirPlay 2 means you can stream audio directly from your iPhone®, iPad®, or Mac® computer. That includes soundtracks from YouTube videos and Netflix movies. This receiver will also show up in your player list if you’re using Roon (subscription required).
You can also make it part of a wireless multi-room audio system. Stream music to HEOS wireless speakers and components in different rooms, and control each room’s sound independently with the free HEOS app. The app lets you control playback, browse music sources, and select which rooms you want to use. Play the same music throughout your home, or listen to something different in each room.

]]>The post Onkyo TX-8260 Stereo Receiver first appeared on Audiolab Stereo & Video Center.
]]>The Onkyo TX-8260 combines a classic stereo receiver design with cutting-edge features for enjoying both digital and analog music sources. Onkyo’s low-distortion, high-current amplification gives you authentic, dynamic sound, while the receiver’s 32-bit/384kHz DAC helps bring out the best in any digital audio format, from high-res audio files to streamed music.
All the right connections
With seven analog inputs and four digital inputs, the TX-8260 has ample connections for your audio gear, from CD players to cassette decks. A dedicated phono input gives you a direct connection for a turntable, and there’s even a set of analog stereo line outputs for audio dubbing. USB ports on the front and back give you convenient access to digital music files stored on a thumb drive.
Wireless capability expands your listening options
When it comes to music, there’s no such thing as too many choices. The TX-8260’s networking capability lets you play songs from your personal digital music library, but why stop there? Chromecast built-in lets you use your computer, phone, or tablet to stream music from over 100 audio apps to the receiver.
Use the Onkyo Controller app to control streaming from your mobile device. Apple® AirPlay® lets you stream from a compatible iOS® device or from any computer with iTunes®. And Bluetooth adds even more wireless music options.
Music in different rooms
Playback from such a capable music receiver shouldn’t be confined to just one room, so the TX-8260 gives you the ability to spread your music through different parts of the house. A/B speaker connections mean you can add a second pair of speakers in another room or outdoor area. You can play the same source in both places simultaneously, or use the A/B switch to select the area you want to listen in.
Zone 2 preamp outputs also send audio to a different room with a power amp and speakers. (You can play the same source in both zones, or a different source in Zone 2.) A dedicated DAC for Zone 2 lets you enjoy digital sources and even streamed music outside of your main listening area.
Roon-compatible for serious music lovers
The TX-8260 is also compatible with Roon, a subscription digital music player you download to your smartphone, tablet, or computer. It gives you multi-room audio playback for all your Chromecast-compatible devices and more. Roon accesses your digital music collection from your iTunes library or NAS drive. It also works with your TIDAL subscription. Roon lets you do deep dives into your music, showing artist bios, photos, reviews, and lyrics. Roon can also suggest other artists and songs based on your selections, making it easy to discover new music you’ll enjoy.
