Product details

Sony has made it and has reached the very top. The STR-DN1050 offers exactly the performance potential we have long desired from a Sony AV receiver – combined with an excellent price-performance ratio. The drawbacks are quickly listed: No HDMI 2.0 and no complete translation of the visually appealing menus into German. Otherwise, the Sony shines: The sound is immersive, natural, highly dynamic, captivating, and detailed. With this design, the affordable 7.2 AV receiver even becomes interesting for classical music and opera fans, who may be tempted by the three really well-made Concert Hall DSP programs. HiRes audio files are reproduced very convincingly in 2-channel mode, with fine highs, well-structured mids, and tight bass. Additionally, the built-in amplifiers are very stable at high volumes.

The video section offers little, only upscaling to 4K (with the appropriate display device). However, this is top-notch; in our tests, we noted that we rarely experienced such sharp and noise-free upscaling. Furthermore, the very good SongPal app allows for comfortable control via a mobile device.

      Der STR-DN1050 von Sony ist ein moderner 7.2-AV-Receiver mit Top-Ausstattung, exzellenten Messwerten und ebensolchem Klang bei Musik-und Filmwiedergabe. Dank übersichtlicher Benutzeroberfläche und App-Unterstützung ist er einfach zu bedienen. Uns gefällt der Receiver unter allen Gesichtspunkten – sehr gut gemacht, Sony!

      Der Sony ist zwar kein Meister seines Faches aber ein Modell, das sich besonders im Netzwerk sehr wohl fühlt. Zudem ist der Klang hervorragend und die Bedienung trotz zahlreicher Features immer sehr einfach. Nur das Einmesssystem für die Lautsprecher könnte besser ausfallen.

      Der Sony macht insgesamt einen guten Job und ist klanglich fast auf der Höhe mit einem ausgewogenen Sound. Nur das Fehlen eines Equalizers stört das Gesamtbild des Modells, das allerdings dennoch einen guten Eindruck hinterlässt und dabei auch zahlreiche Schnittstellen zur Verfügung stellt.
