Onkyo R-N855: Versatile network stereo receiver

Onkyo R-N855

The Onkyo R-N855 network stereo receiver can play music from connected hard drives or from any wireless audio application via Google Cast, AirPlay and Bluetooth. The receiver also has an FM/DAB+ tuner, Internet radio and all the necessary inputs for connecting a CD. Looking under the hood, you’ll find a powerful EI power transformer and audio circuitry made from high-quality components, including two huge capacitors that provide deep, powerful bass. Housed in a super-tough, flat metal case and reinforced with a durable aluminum front panel, this amp is built for serious, good full-blown sound.

The Onkyo R-N855 power supply is equipped with a custom transformer and a pair of 4700 uF capacitors. A separate transformer is installed for standby mode. The circuit design uses a three-stage inverted circuit using Darlington transistors. The amplifier produces 70 W per channel (4 ohms). WRAT wideband amplification technology is used, which reduces noise and ensures reliable operation even with problematic speakers.

The Onkyo R-N855 uses the VERITA AK4490 (32-bit/768 kHz) DAC, which works in conjunction with a VLSC circuit that eliminates noise caused by clock pulses. Thanks to DLNA support, the Onkyo R-N855 can work as a streamer and connect to a local network via an Ethernet port or Wi-Fi. At the same time, PCM (24 bit/192 kHz) and DSD (2.8/5.6 MHz) formats stored on servers/computers of this network become available, and access to online services opens (Spotify Connect, TuneIn Radio, etc. are supported .). To control the Onkyo R-N855, use the included remote control or a proprietary application installed on devices with iOS or Android.
