Onkyo PR-RZ5100 review
In addition to the AM / FM tuner, the 11.2-channel AV processor has a wide range of tools for receiving audio content wirelessly, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Google Cast service (available with new firmware) and AirPlay. It is possible to connect to a local area network via LAN / WLAN and play Hi-Res formats (including DSD 11.2 MHz) from computers and NAS servers. Among the supported online services are TuneIn and Spotify. FireConnect technology allows you to transmit a signal without using a cable to speakers supporting this function and control broadcasting using the application, which is convenient when organizing a multi-room system. 
Onkyo TX-RZ3100 review
The device is certified according to the THX Select 2 Plus standard. Onkyo TX-RZ3100 has a configuration of 11.2. The AV receiver is equipped with a custom transformer with increased power, and a low-noise fan is used to more efficiently remove heat from the output stages operating in the patented extra-current mode. Check out a wide range of technical solutions - volume control with optimized gain, low-noise VLSC conversion technology, separate power circuits for analog and digital circuits. The device is equipped with a DAC based on AK4490 chips (for front stereo channels). Its power is 11 x 200 W (6 Ohms).

Onkyo TX-RZ3100 pros & cons
Pros
- This beast is pretty heavy and big but the sound is clear and rich. I tested with an Atmos audio movie and it is spectacular and the bass signal sent to the power subwoofer is simply phenomenal
- The setting was very simple and the remote control is great
Cons
- No programmable remote
- Proprietary speaker setup doesn't seem to be as good as previous models (Audyssey)
