The TX-NR646’s high-grade 384 kHz/32-bit AKM DAC not only brings movies to life, but your Hi-Res and streamed music as well. Conveniently stream music over built-in Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth, AirPlay, or internet music services including Spotify Connect and Pandora. Use the free Onkyo Remote app to stream audio stored on your mobile device, browse and select tracks from online services, and control playback in two zones. Plus, for fans of vinyl, the TX-NR646 has a phono equalizer input to connect a turntable.
