Sony STR-DN1070

Sony’s black box makes a fine wireless hub for your home- entertainment set-up, thanks to its NFC, AirPlay and Google Cast integration. The high-spec, 7.2- channel receiver promises seamless surround from its 4Kcompliant HDMI ports; and while there’s no Dolby Atmos, this audiophile deck can handle every kind of Hi- Res Audio source.
