Best sound quality I have heard from an AVR, but the GUI is lacking
I've been a Denon guy for many years. I caught this Sony AVR on sale for just over half the list price, so I decided to make a switch. The main thing to note is that the power and the quality of sound is impressive to say the least....really outstanding.
Having said that, though, here is what I miss from my Denon (specifically the Denon X3000):
Immediate, on-screen display of the volume level: This is what I miss the most. With my Denon, when I adjusted the volume from the remote, I got a bar across the bottom of the television screen to indicate the change. The Sony does not have this; it only shows it numerically on the AVR screen. I have a fairly large television room (thus the need for a powerful AVR), and I need to look through a pair of binoculars if I want to see the volume change.
On-screen display of sound settings: Similar to the volume display, with the Denon, you push one button on the remote, a list of sound setting options come up...
Completely Blown Away
I did a strait swap-out of my Onkyo TX-NR1009 last night (same wiring, same HDMI connections, speakers, etc) and I have to say that the difference couldn't be more profound. The audio quality for music and bluray playback is simply phenomenal. The sound is much cleaner with superb clarity in the midrange I couldn't get with the Onkyo. I have Polk Rti A7's (bi-amped), a CSI A4, DSWpro550, and A3's for front-high, and surround. I wouldn't have believed the overall improvement in quality was possible in the same room with the same speakers.
Pro's:
- Super fast speaker auto-calibration that works. Sony provides a binaural mic that is spaced-out horizontally to simulate your ears. The process takes all of two minutes unlike the Audyssey implementation Onkyo uses, which generally takes 30 minutes and is nowhere as effective.
- Setup is fairly straight forward, use the easy setup wizard though and customize after
- Enough connectivity options to handle about any...
Sony STR-DA5800ES 9.2
I've been with Sony products since 1998, yes it's about 14 years, before I’ve perches this model i used to have the DA5400ES 7.1 channel and it was great except for two things, it doesn't have LAN internet connection and can't pass Blu-ray 3D. the new one it has 4 holes for Ethernet so you can connect your DVD player and it helps to updating the soft wear for your devices in time and of caurse you can watch Blu-ray 3D. But it has Disadvantages let me mention two main things; the first one is the volume every time when you want to adjust it you have to look at the receiver because it doesn't appear on the TV screen like the previous model so if you are in adistance from the Receiver like me you would face a problem. The second One is the menu or home option for choosing the type of the surround for your home theater you have to go to the main menu every time to see the types but the previous model was easier there is a button in the remote that makes it so easy and fast to...
