A Hi-fi Stereo Receiver for Audiophiles
The Onkyo TX-8470 hi-fi network stereo receiver defies the outdated axiom that a receiver can’t deliver audiophile-quality sound. Onkyo’s advanced technologies and meticulous attention to detail result in stunningly detailed music reproduction from a receiver — something that would not have been possible back in the golden age of hi-fi, when separates ruled the high end. Engineered for sonic purity and integration into modern home entertainment systems, the TX-8470 packs 110 watts per channel of state-of-the-art Class G power along with versatile analog and digital connectivity and a premium stereo DAC for performance that punches way above its price point. If you’re in the market for a performance- and value-packed stereo network receiver, the Onkyo TX-8470 should be high on your list.
Modern features galore
However you prefer to access your music and TV sound, the Onkyo TX-8470 has you covered. Connect to the internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and stream your favorite music over Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2, or Bluetooth. The TX-8470 supports popular online services such as Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music HD, Tidal, Deezer, TuneIn Radio, and more. The TX-8470 sports 8K HDMI inputs that support 8K/4K Ultra HD. Its HDMI ARC port streamlines your cabling and lets you enjoy the highest quality audio from your TV’s built-in apps. A/B speaker terminals let you play audio simultaneously in two different rooms, and if you’re using the Sonos home audio ecosystem, you can control your TX-8470 right from the Sonos app.
High-performance phono stage
The TX-8470 is designed with vinyl lovers in mind. With so many available audio sources these days, many manufacturers include a simple moving-magnet (MM) phono input on their receivers seemingly as an afterthought. Not Onkyo. In addition to an MM input, the TX-8470 also accommodates exotic moving-coil (MC) cartridges that serious audiophile vinyl enthusiasts are likely to own. Thanks to Onkyo’s patented discrete op-amp circuitry and isolated phono board, those fragile low-level phono signals are protected from distortion for optimized clarity and overall audio performance, so you can experience maximum enjoyment from your record collection.
The power of stereo
In this age of umpteen-channel home cinema systems, a two-channel receiver — in contrast to a complex A/V unit — allows the choice of components and the circuit design to be focused on one goal: high-quality sound. Some folks just want to be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy high-fidelity stereo in their living room! We certainly have a major contingent of dyed-in-the-wool stereophiles among the engineers and musicians here at Sweetwater. Onkyo’s next-generation stereo network receivers such as the TX-8470 represent the legendary hi-fi company’s commitment to this evergreen format. To that end, the TX-8470 features gold-plated connections and audio-grade capacitors for pristine sound, while Onkyo’s cutting-edge Class G amplification delivers high-current drive to maximize your loudspeakers’ performance for a richer listening experience.
