| twox6spds's Full Review: Onkyo TX-DS797 6.1 Channels Receiver |
I've had the TXDS 797 THX receiver for over a year. No problems. This is a superb receiver. Uses almost the identical front end as the Integra DTC 9.4 processor. The big Onkyo's processor decodes THX, DTS, etc. I've heard a similar system to mine using the Integra 9.4 processor and Anthem outboard amp - not much difference. The 797 has 6x100 watts of powerful onboard amplification. The processing section uses high quality 192 kHz/24-bit DACs on all channels. I use it for home theater and high res music - SACD (Philips SACD1000) and DVD Audio (Toshiba SD9200) The Onkyo is a musical instrument. Soundstage is enormous, detail excellent, dynamics excellent and quick. I replaced a top-of-the-line Harman Kardon AVR 65 with the Onkyo. The Onk is simply much better for music or HT. I haven't had any problems, no weird noises, but I bought mine new.
