uncle have one of our favorite receivers from 2015 the TX NR 646 and so we've been shivering with anticipation to get our hands on 2016 models a mile the feature count is way up can the new TX NR 757 compete with talented receivers from Sony and den on the most interesting addition to this year's Onkyo is with wireless music the NR 757 is Google cast enabled which means you can cast Pandora for example to it and other car speakers at the same time which is great for parties as it's a 2016 receiver it naturally offers support for the immersive formats Dolby Atmos and DTS X it also has dedicated zone 2 amplification looks-wise it's a lot sleeker than last year's model but it still retains the direct source selection buttons we like so much also slim down is the new remote which no longer looks like it controls a power plan the receiver has eight HDMI inputs including one on the front and these offer compatibility with 4k and HDR video home theater is where the onkyo excels a Mali automated setup procedure wasn't great with a bit of tweaking were able to get it to sound suitably impressive movies sounded big dialogue was perfectly understandable and explosions had plenty of oomph and yet while Denon's AVRs 920 w lacks on cures multi room features it offers better sound quality overall its surround sound was more cohesive and the sound had better clarity with both movies and music the onkyo is nevertheless an excellent receiver especially if you're interested in streaming music it's just no longer king of the hill
