the Sony STR DN 1080 is the company's latest receiver and it's even better than last years with more features yet a similar performance and the same price the Sony fix is one of the only problems from last time no support for Dolby apples the receiver also offers the same amount of HDMI points 6 and all have been upgraded to support 4k HDR the DN 1080 is a little smaller than last year's model but it has the same excellent interface and easy to use remote the receiver also includes bluetooth streaming in addition to Wi-Fi you get access to chromecast built-in which lets you stream from dozens of smart phone apps as well as Spotify connect and Sony's own music Center app sound quality is a little different from last year with a sound slightly more geared to home cinema so if you're in the market for dedicated height speakers this receiver is aimed at you whether it's a Dolby Surround soundtrack or just the news the Sony will make dialogue clear and surround effects seamless that's not to say this won't play music because we had an enjoyable afternoon streaming from Sony's music center to the receiver and if you have high res or DSD tracks it will do those natively to at $599 the sony is an excellent deal and it's very little that it can't do 2017 might have only just started but its competition will need to step up if wants to take Sony on
