Hard edge to certain frequencies, No Apple AirPlay or Made for iPod support, Lacks a layer of detail

An exciting, muscular performance and an extensive feature list make the TX-NR626 another impressive midrange AV receiver from the Onkyo stable, although sound quality isn't quite as accomplished as its predecessors...
Der Onkyo besticht durch reichhaltige Multimedia-Ausstattung und kraftvollen Klang. Gewisse Schwächen liegen in der Einmess-Automatik, die keine individuellen Klangregler bietet und ungenauer als bei der Konkurrenz regelt. Florian Goisl, Udo Ratai Tech...
