Giving 3 stars only due to the engineers not keen on providing Dirac ART support. Even the cheaper Denon x3800h has, but not Onkyo RZ70. Hugely disappointed. This will be the last Onkyo after 19 years of brand loyalty.
Only had this for a couple of weeks. I am more into 2 channel music until now. I am running a tube preamp/dac into this. With the multiple programs you can choose how you want to listen. You could do that on my old AVR however it didn't sound nearly this good. I'm actually considering selling my McIntosh MA6600 now. This receiver has lots of options. I started streaming Tidal (in the Onkyo app) through it. I have a designated laptop with music hooked up to it. My speakers put out plenty of bass but it is nice having my JBL subwoofer running the low end of things. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. I did get a great deal on it also.
I bought the Onkyo RZ-70, wow, I love it! I had the Yamaha 2060 and it was wonderful, but the RZ-70 is something else entirely. However, if Onkyo doesn't release the necessary updates, it's really bad. All the other companies have already updated their ART drivers, but Onkyo hasn't! When will they? 5 stars for everything except the updates.
I’ve been living with the RZ70 for 10 months. After two decades of Denon receivers I was worried about switching to another brand. The value Onkyo offers and the many praiseworthy reviews of the TX line were hard to overlook. The inclusion of Dirac is the icing on the cake. Makes me smile everyday.
I recently acquired the RZ-70 to upgrade my 7.1.2 setup from the NR7100 to 7.1.4. I was surprised by both the new configuration and the sound fidelity of the RZ-70, which truly brings the sound to life. The RZ-70 is a beast, in the best sense of the word.
The TX-RZ70 is an audiophile quality receiver with many high-quality features and capabilities. From eleven powerful channels of amplification, overall power, miniscule noise levels, high quality pre-amp that can be selectively enhanced with one or more even better quality pre-amps or amplifiers, to the ability to easily integrate with many external systems--you will not be disappointed in the sound quality, power, integration, flexibility and overall capabilities of the TX-RZ70. I cannot count how many times I saw reviews of competing receivers and double-checked... did the Onkyo have this feature? That feature? Yes and often better has been the most frequent and re-assuring answer. It's a great, flexible receiver at a great price, and a fine backbone for any quality audio/visual system.
Greetings everyone. I had a Yamaha RX-A2060 that I loved, but it broke, now I bought the Onkyo TX-RZ70 wow I love it!!!! And I'm still learning with the receiver, the first calibration with Dirac completely eliminated the bass, but I looked for a video on YouTube and managed to tweak it pretty well and I still have a lot to play with the Onkyo. I downloaded some Harman target curves and I need to apply it to see how it goes lol.
