The TX-NR929 is a standout, with support for a 9.2-channel setup. However, it also has other perks, including 11.2 multichannel pre-outs and DTS Neo:X, as well as MultEQ XT32, nine HDMI inputs and two outputs. The TX-NR828 has Audyssey MultEQ, eight HDMI inputs and two out.
That 9.2-channel receiver also has three 192kHz/24-bit TI Burr-Brown DACs, Onkyo’s WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology) and discrete Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry.
Onkyo has priced the TX-NR828 and TX-NR929 at $1,099 and $1,399, respectively. As previously mentioned, the TX-NR828 will be available in June, with the TX-NR929 coming sometime in July.
