Yamaha RX-V385 vs Onkyo TX-SR393

Yamaha RX-V385 review

5.1-class AV receiver, power 5 x 70 W at 6 Ohms features Yamaha's exclusive CINEMA DSP technology that supports HD Audio playback (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and others), providing natural and expansive audio visualization. On board the device are four HDMI inputs and one output. Acoustical terminals with the option of bi-amping front speakers in configurations 2.1 or 3.1 deserve special attention. According to Yamaha, a separate bass and treble amplification scheme allows for more powerful and clear sound.

Onkyo TX-SR393 review

With a power of 155 watts per channel (6 ohms), the TX-SR393 can be configured with various spatial audio options. Onkyo TX-SR393 is equipped with Dolby Atmos and DTS: X decoders, which are not only capable of processing these formats in 3.2.2 configuration, but also create virtual surround sound from any Dolby track. This gives the multi-channel soundtrack additional expressiveness, creating the effect of being in a real movie theater. For convenient surround sound tuning, the Onkyo TX-SR393 has an AccuEQ auto-calibration system with AccuReflex extension for accurate 3D format processing. The AV receiver uses AKM's multi-channel DAC with 32 bit / 384 kHz parameters.
