Audiophile Quality 2 Channel Stereo Receiver

Decided to get back into basic 2 channel stereo as my wave radio just couldn’t get it done. Took the plunge, picked up this receiver and two of the Sony 3 way bookshelf speakers. Wow the power and clarity from the Bluetooth streaming is amazing. Needless to say a CD player and a phono ( which each exceeded the price of the speakers and this receiver) were quickly added on. If your looking to get back into vinyl or just enjoy CDs or streaming to the Bluetooth you can’t go wrong with this receiver.

I needed a quick fix for a 35 year old 2 channel stereo receiver that was getting older. I went for this Sony and I'm very satisfied that I did. It stepped right in where the old Denon left off. It has all that I need for music listening. Set up was straightforward and it plays just wonderfully through the Polk Bookshelves and Subwoofer. I'm not a dedicated audiophile, but this receiver with its specs and pricing makes me very happy. I would not hesitate to purchase this receiver again. It does the job very efficiently.

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

I use all four XLRs for live steams from a small remote set with USB to my laptop for broadcast. Two channels are used for a Shure wireless receiver. One of those channels is for a CVL wireless lavaliere mic. The EQ on the panel results in great voice quality from the CVL. The other receiver channel is a wireless handheld that sounds great with little tweaking. Two channels are used with Shure SM58s. I find that I need more gain with these, but the voice audio quality is not compromised. The Mute buttons on each channel are very handy to mute the moderator and audience mics during a presentation.

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.

Great features: - sound quality - separate channel or merged channel; - remote control from receiver for gain and mute; - transmitters record and transmit; - receiver can output through USB-C port. - Excellent wireless range

Sony STR-DH590 5.2-Channel A/V Receiver is a verry nice receiver at a great price, easy to hook up and gives great sound, just what I was looking for.

I bought the stereo receiver for the price and Sony name
