Onkyo TX-NR 575

The Onkyo TX-NR575 offers excellent design, solid build quality and superb usability. Its wealth of features includes Dolby Atmos, Chromecast multiroom, Play-Fi and 4K HDR throughput. Sound quality is detailed and nuanced, particularly for movies.

For the same price, the Sony STR-DN1080 offers better sound. Chromecast audio streams are stuck in AllChStereo mode.

The midpriced Onkyo TX-NR575 receiver sounds good and comes fully loaded with Dolby Atmos and Chromecast built in, but it's not our first choice.
