New out are the Onkyo 9.2 channel receivers that offer 175W per channel and 180W per channel, respectively
These THX-Certified Select A/V Onkyo receivers are equipped with 11.2-multichannel pre-outs and processing to enable Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundtrack reproduction though speaker layouts of up to 7.2.4ch (with an outboard stereo amp).
Dynamic Audio Amplification employs a custom transformer and large customised block capacitors. Non-phase-shift circuit topology on discrete wideband amplifiers is included while patented VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) on Front L/R channels is featured.
The TX-RZ730 and TX-RZ830 feature AccuEQ room acoustic calibration technology too.
Both receivers feature Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X upmixing solutions. These cross-compatible technologies re-map legacy soundtracks commonly encoded on DVD, Blu-ray Disc and streaming video.
Chromecast is built-in. Playback can be controlled by voice with a smart speaker featuring the Google Assistant, such as Google Home.
DTS Play-Fi technology is there too using the Onkyo Music Control App.
Proprietary FlareConnect technology shares audio from network sources and external audio inputs between compatible components.
Amazon Music can be accessed via the Onkyo Music Control App, while TIDAL, TuneIn, Deezer, and Spotify are enabled with Onkyo Controller. Onkyo Controller presents local and network audio for streaming together with remote-control functionality. The receivers also include Bluetooth wireless technology. AirPlay network audio streaming technology is built in too.
You also get a phono amplifier while both support Hi-Res Audio via network and USB storage devices. The TX-RZ730 plays DSD5.6 MHz/2.8 MHz while the TX-RZ830 supports direct playback of DSD11.2 MHz files. Both support 24bit audio up to 192kHz in FLAC, WAV (RIFF), AIFF, and ALAC formats.
On the video side, the TX-RZ730 and TX-RZ830 include HDMI pass-through of HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) and Dolby Vision formats as well as 4K/60p, BT.2020, 4:4:4, 24bit, and HDCP 2.2-protected video. Six rear HDMI inputs, Main Out, Zone 2 Out (Sub Out on the TX-RZ730) and a front HDMI input are included on both models.

25th February 2019 at 2:59 pmI went through the entirety of this without reading an objective comment on the quality, sound, function of this unit. Lots of pictures, plenty of specs, but in effect, this is just a restructured manufacturers flyer on this piece. Did someone actually pay you to reconstruct this?

25th February 2019 at 3:28 pmHi William – this is a news piece and not a review (as stated at the top of the page). It is based on the limited information supplied by a single source, the manufacturer. Every magazine, journalist and media news outlet receives the same information. If I’m able to secure a review sample, I will then write a separate review. Hope that explains everything.

I realize you wrote this article early last year but I’m concerned about what I’m seeing concerning the Onkyo TX-RZ830.
I am ready to purchase this model but after days of research why am I finding it so much cheaper than the other lower-end Onkyo models?
For example… right now, on Amazon, the TXRZ830 ($1399.00 MSRP) is the same price as the TX-RZ730 ($1099.00 MSRP)! This same low pricing is o other sites, too. Also, I’m seeing a lot of “open box specials”… same model.
Is there something wrong with this particular model? If you know something I don’t, I’d sure appreciate an email from you.
Thanks, Mark Mercer

13th May 2019 at 8:48 pmDifficult to pin this one down but it may be because the model is being replaced or restructured in the range because of more recent releases. I wouldn’t be concerned about quality, though.
