Onkyo TX-RZ830 review
The receiver can work in a 5.2.4- or 7.2.2-channel configuration with Dolby Atmos and DTS: X formats. The model sounds as close as possible to the source, and also has transparency, detail, excellent dynamics, and a wide frequency range thanks to the power supply of the model with a powerful high-current transformer H.C.P.S. So the important point is that the design uses dynamic amplification technology (DAA), which provides high current and efficient noise reduction. Onkyo TX-RZ830 has Wi-Fi modules (2 bands) and Bluetooth. Chromecast built-in platform for streaming audio integrated into the receiver.
