4K Upscaling Wifi Home Stereo Receiver

The best stereo receiver I’ve ever owned! If you want the best, this is it!

This stereo receiver was one of my better online purchases!

I have a Sonos home theater system (Beam, Mini Sub, Sonos 1s') in my living room, and I had an unrelated stereo music setup in another room. I recently bought a turntable which I hooked up to my passive speakers and my older stereo receiver. So I bought the Sonos amp to replace the receiver. Beyond the expected Sonos connection I found an unexpected dramatic improvement in sound quality from my turntable/speakers. Now my stereo sounds great with my vinyl collection and can be played n my living room and anther room where I have additional Sonos speakers. Fantastic! The amp has also given me other benefits -- a TV connected to it via HDMI, IOS control, etc. Well worth the cost....

We use this for stereo music in our home. It replaced another brand that was glitchy, lost connection to the wifi and was not reliable. The Sonos just plain works, every time without fail. Sound quality is superb!

Great product...awesome picture quality with great upscaling of non 4k content. Easy set up and great user interface and features.

This receiver is truly nothing short of excellent, it replaced a Yamaha RX-V4A which was so bad that I have regretted it ever since. Setting up this receiver was a breeze, I think it took 10min total and mainly because I took my time and poked around all of the menus. I am not an audiophile so I won't even pretend to judge the audio quality, but I can tell you that the upscaling features greatly improved the video quality and the way it can fill in two channel audio to play through all of the speakers is exactly what I wanted with my previous reciever. I have this connected to a home theatre PC (HTPC) and many of the movies that I play are only two channel. This receiver lets you see how many channels of audio are being sent to it and it allows you to see how many speakers it is sending the audio to; letting me pick an output setting that will utilize all of my speakers. Much of my video source content is only 720P but my TV is 4K so the receiver does a great job of upscaling the source content to look good on the TV. Nothing will be perfect mind you, but it does a good job at what it does. Source 1080P footage encoded with a quality codec really shines and looks like native 4K after the upscaling process. I am thinking about getting another one for the bedroom to replace an old Technics reciever.

I use it to connect my tape deck to the stereo receiver.

I bought this because all the reviews advised it was the best rated 4K player. It’s has worked flawlessly with excellent upscaling. Very happy with my purchase.

This player has amazing video and audio. 4K standard and upscaling. Pure bright colors. Audio is amazing. I listen to standard stereo CD’s and it blows me away. The audio in movies, all formats including Dolby Atmos is extremely accurate. User interface is great. Very easy to setup. Almost does itself. I loved my first one so much I purchased a second one for my upstairs system. Recommended to friends and they are now owners. You cannot go wrong with this player.

It's the best and most powerful streaming player you can get for money. The Nvidia comes with the updated CPU, the Nvidia Tegra X1 chip that’s 25 percent faster, 16GB of internal storage and 3GB RAM.You are getting a device that can stream in 4K HDR, with both Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio decoding. The former can optimize the more vibrant colors of HDR video on a scene-by-scene basis, while the latter finally allows for object-based soundtracks in Netflix. Unfortunately, Nvidia skipped out on supporting HDR10 , the non-proprietary alternative to Dolby Vision that’s mainly available in some Amazon Prime videos, and it doesn’t support YouTube videos in HDRT. The speed increase isn’t really noticeable in everyday use, but it’s necessary to power a the new Shield’s AI upscaling. This feature solves a real problem with streaming video today: Even on a 4K TV, most content still streams in 1080p or 720p, so you’re seldom making the most of the fancy panel you paid for. While most televisions have their own basic upscaling algorithms that can fill in some details in non-4K content, Nvidia went a step further by training a deep learning model to predict the difference between upscaled and actual 4K content. This model then runs in real time on the Shield, where it tries to fill in the quality gaps based on what it’s learned.In practice, this means that edges become sharper, face details become less blurry, and strands of hair become more defined. Nvidia is proud to show off the tech as well, including a “demo mode” that lets you toggle the AI mode or view it side-by-side with traditional upscaling. Going back and forth, the difference is often obvious, especially if you’re somewhat close to the TV or viewing 720p content on YouTube. Video purists can make the upscaler less aggressive or disable it entirely, but I never found this to be necessary.The new Nvidia Pro comes with a new designed remote with volume control adding dedicated fast-forward and rewind keys.
