Onkyo TX-NR696 vs Onkyo TX-NR595

Onkyo TX-NR696 review

To achieve the power of built-in amplifiers of 175 W per channel (6 ohms), a custom power transformer with a low noise level is installed in the system. High capacity capacitors are also, according to the manufacturer, custom-made. Onkyo TX-NR696 is supported by Dolby Atmos and DTS: X, and it is argued that in the absence of “top” speakers, that is, if 5.2.2 is not possible, Dolby Atmos HeightVirtualizer and DTS Virtual: X technologies will be able to create a three-dimensional sound field from horizontal column layouts.

Video with HDR (High Dynamic Range) in HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), or Dolby Vision formats is passed through to a compatible display. Onkyo TX-NR595

Onkyo TX-NR696 pros & cons

Pros

  • Onkyo's firmware is spot on. The software is very competent
  • The interface is clean and the firmware controls the electronics chip sets like a champ
  • The sound is, as always, very crisp and clean

Cons

  • I'm noticing video blackouts on multiple HDMI ports. So far I've only used stream box, PC, and BD/DVD HDMI ports and all three have the same issue with different devices. The screen will randomly go black for a few seconds, but the audio will continue playing

Onkyo TX-NR595 pros & cons

Pros

  • The Onkyo TX-NR595 offers a wealth of connectivity and streaming options without sacrificing sound quality
  • Music and movies sound great, especially when paired with a balanced-sounding set of speakers

Cons

  • The redundant, proprietary FlareConnect system offers mirroring functionality that can be replicated with Play-Fi
