Onkyo TX-8260 review
Onkyo TX-8260 is the device powered by the WRAT amplifier and produces up to 70 W/channel at 8 Ohm. The receiver is equipped with an audio processor - AKM AK4452VN, which features low distortion filtering technologies suitable for the frequency response of high-resolution audio. Also, the device has good network features. Built-in AirPlay, Bluetooth and Chromecast allow streaming music wirelessly from compatible audio sources. Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity give you the ability to stream music from Internet sources. Due to this, Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, TuneIn, and Pandora are integrated into the system GUI.
Yamaha R-N602 review
Yamaha R-N602 is a model with a power of 80 W/channel at 8 Ohm which is a little more versus the competitor. It adopts the ToP-ART design and uses the best audio components to optimize playback of high-resolution audio files. Pure Direct mode is available to disable tone corrections (bass/treble) and get even better sound. The main disadvantage of this receiver in terms of the Onkyo TX-8260 vs Yamaha R-N602 comparison is the inability to work with two sets of speakers, which entails the lack of support for Zone 2. Networking capabilities are standard for this class of receivers.
