Sony STR-DA5500ES receiver

Sony STRDA5500ES

Best receiver for stereo music. Internet radio. Six-in/Two-out HDMI inputs. Excellent video processing.

Surround sound not as strong. DLNA streaming is very limited. Pricey.

The Sony STRDA5500ES is a very good 7.1 receiver featuring internet radio and is best suited to people who have a large collection of vinyl or CDs.

I have had the receiver for about 7 months now. It is in an all Sony set up including the XA5400ES SACD player, which this receiver can connect to via HDMI, a real plus, the BX-57 Blu-ray player with wireless connectivity and a 52" Bravia HDTV. The...

Sound quality, feature set, flexibility

Doesn't have 3D- a minor issue or wireless for internet access
