Sony STR-DN1080 vs Onkyo TX-NR626

Sony STR-DN1080 review

To compare Sony STR-DN1080 vs Onkyo TX-NR626 let’s remember that both models have 7.2 channels. Their RMS is 120/6 and 160/6 W/Ohm. On the rear panel there are as many as 6 HDMI inputs for connecting devices and 2 HDMI outputs for outputting images to a TV, monitor or projector. Although each HDMI input is signed, according to the instructions it doesn’t matter which device will be connected to which connector, this is only a recommendation. But, there is one caveat. The SA-CD / CD and BD-DVD inputs provide higher sound quality.

Onkyo TX-NR626 review

One of the six HDMI inputs on the rear panel serves as the MHL port for Android devices; high-resolution mobile interfaces are becoming increasingly popular. All HDMI connectors provide 3D video pass-through and content scaling up to 1080p; four out of six inputs support scaling and pass-through 4K Ultra HD - so when the content in this resolution finally becomes widely available, the owners of the TX-NR626 will be fully equipped. In addition, there are two HDMI outputs, one of them with a return audio channel, as well as many digital and analog connections, including a phono amplifier.
