Onkyo TX-NR686 review

The device has a 7.2 configuration and supports object-oriented audio decoders like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X in a 5.2.2 setup by adding a couple of overhead speakers that will really expand the sound stage vertically. And given the receiver's output power, which is 165 W/channel, even with fairly demanding acoustics, it should not have any problems. The receiver has a built-in 384 kHz/32-bit DAC. Onboard the TX-NR686 are AccuEQ Room Acoustic Calibration and AccuReflex auto-tuning programs. Another advantage is that the receiver can control the wireless audio system of the whole house using built-in technologies: FlareConnect, DTS Play-Fi, and Chromecast.
