This THX-certified 9.2-channel receiver offers seven HDMI inputs — three rear ports and both outputs run at full 40Gbps HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, while the remaining four inputs (including a front-panel port) cap at 24Gbps. Dirac Live room correction comes included out of the box, a feature most competitors charge extra for. A component video input is a rare find in 2021 for connecting legacy gear. Six analog stereo pairs, a dedicated MM phono stage, and both optical and coaxial digital inputs round out the extensive connectivity.
THX-certified 9.2-channel 8K AV receiver with Dirac Live, seven HDMI inputs, and HDMI 2.1.
