Anonymous | Hey guys, I am on the fence about which receiver to buy. In my price range are the Onkyo TX SR601 and SR700. The 601 has 32-bit DAC's and the 700 has 24-bit DAC's. The power rating drops 15 watts from the 700 to the 601 and the 601 has the DTS 96-24 surround mode and a few more features. I might be able to pawn my girlfriend to buy the 701, but I'm inclined to keep her for the time being so I have somebody to enjoy the new amp with. Between the 601 and 700, which is the better choice? Thanks in advance. |
Derek | The 601 (and probably the 700) has 32 bit CPUs not DACs. See http://www.onkyousa.com/ for specs. The current 701 is THX certified, has direct bypass mode, a phono pre-amp, full pre-amp ouy and like you said more power. |
