The Onkyo TX-8470 2-channel network stereo receiver was built for audiophiles, says the company, designed for all types sitting back and listening to a hifi music playlist from a connected record player or other source, or enjoying more focused audio output while watching movies or playing video games.
The receiver delivers 110 watts per channel and comes with voice assistant support built-in, including Google Assistant, Apple Siri, and others. It’s specifically made for use with a record player, and thanks to Onkyo’s patented discrete op amp circuits and isolated MM / MC phono board, these sensitive phono signals are protected from unwanted distortions to improve clarity and audio performance, says the company.
In addition to its AM/FM tuner, you can access favourite high-resolution music streaming platforms from the stereo receiver, which has been integrated with partners at Roon (Roon Ready), Tidal, Deezer, and more.
The TX-8470 is an ideal choice for thosewho are not interested in multi-speaker surround sound sets-ups, says Okyo, but rather want improved sound performance for music and movies. With a two-channel stereo receiver, rather than a larger audio video receiver (AVR), each component is optimized for more focused and refined audio output. Gold-plated terminals and audio-grade capacitors provide clean sound, while the carefully selected copper components support a high current drive and minimize vibrations.
Powered by 110 watts per channel at 8ohms, the TX-8470 features an AKM Premium 32-bit/768 kHz stereo two-channel DAC, HDMI ARC 4in/1out (all supports 8K up to 40Gbps visual content support), HDMI ARC technology, three digital inputs (two Optical and one Coaxial), and a Class G Amplifier.
The TX-8470 is the TV-friendly stereo receiver for tight spaces thanks to HDMI ARC technology and processing 8K visual content with high-res audio output. Its Class G amplifier ensures an efficient, accurate reproduction of audio signals throughout the frequency range with a low negative feedback design (NFB) for greater transparency and musicality.
