Onkyo TX-NR575

Onkyo Acoustic Craftsmanship

Onkyo TX-NR575 is a classic example of a successful AV receiver with wide functionality, memorable appearance, adequate price tag and high sound quality. The receiver's sonic prowess was born from the combination of Onkyo's signature 384kHz DAC and a comprehensive DAA dynamic amplification system, which work together to refine the output signal and eliminate D/A noise.

Thick sound with rich timbre

Thanks to them, the sound is not only detailed and transparent, but also very dense, with a rich timbre colour. The TX-NR575 handles Infinity War's multitrack track with equal ease as it handles Kendrick Lamar's latest album. He's especially great at bringing recompressed audio from Spotify and Soundcloud to life.

Gentleman's set

In terms of communication, the TX-NR575 offers a fairly standard gentlemen's package that is enough for the average buyer and does not weigh down the price tag with new and not yet tested technologies. 4 HDMI inputs handle the latest video standards: 4K, HDR for video plus Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for multi-channel audio. In addition to HDMI, on the back of the receiver you can find a pair of composite video inputs, six analogue inputs, three digital inputs (two optical and one coaxial S / P-DIF), as well as the most common USB port.

Extensive wireless connectivity

But when it comes to wireless technology, the Onkyo TX-NR575 starts to flex its muscles. In addition to support for Chromecast, Spotify and AirPlay, which is more or less familiar for this price, the receiver is friends with Play-Fi and BlackFire FireConnect. The first allows you to combine acoustics of different brands into a wireless multi-room and control it from an application on your smartphone. The second works in a similar way, but only with Onkyo acoustics. If all this is not necessary, then the receiver can be connected to the sound source in the old fashioned way via Bluetooth.
