Been watching this receiver for awhile waiting for it to hit $400 again @Costco (because of their amazing return policy). Thankfully it became available for even less. Not sure if the prices are the same IN Store.

I've have both this and the Denon S760h.

After owning the S760h for a month or so, it started glitching out really bad and refused to output any audio 70% of the time. I returned it and got the 6050 instead, and have had no issues.

I've had both - the Denon s760h and the Onkyo. I returned the Denon and bought the Onkyo. The Onkyo is much better. It's definitely a step up in both feature set and sound quality. Both have pros and cons. But biggest issue is that the Denon feels underpowered in comparison. It can still reach volumes that are loud enough and you won't ever hit its max. But you can tell you are using it at the upper end of its output power range. The Onkyo sounds clearer to my ears. Plus it's more stable. And feature set is more robust.
·
not sure if they are pops or clicks, but as speakers drop below the 6ohm rating the receiver will click, this can be fixed by going into speaker settings and setting speaker Ohm rating to 4. There's no (apparent) negative as power usage didn't change, and it got rid of the clicks on my device.

Wow, I will try that. The pop sound is very faint for my unit and it doesn't bother me at all. And for my unit the sound usually happens when I pause the streaming.

Quote from GeraldTheOne67 :
I had the both the Denon S760h and Onkyo 6050 at the same time. Doing side by side comparisons I vastly preferred the sound of the Onkyo.
I listen to lots of lossless music and I play video games. Songs i'm very familiar with and audio cues I know well in games just sounded markedly worse to me, and I spent several weeks just dialing in and tweaking settings on both of them.
I was biased 100% expecting to like the Denon more, reports of older Onkyo reliability issues really scared me. Ive been using it for 8+ hours a day for the last 6 months and its had no real issues. Very happy with it.

I like the sound of Onkyo gaming much more than movie and TV. For some reason, the gaming make my subwoofers really shine and pop, but not so much in Movie and TV watching.

Denon vs Onkyo?
Bought USED Onlyo RZ830 (in new condition) for $350 locally....replaced my Pioneer Elite 503 and could not believe how much better the Onlyo performed! It ahas a "livelier" sound that I prefer for movies and misic. I was never an Onkyo fan...until now! Used Onkyo's are a STEAL these days as they don't has teh reputation as Marantz. I give Onlyo BEST BANG for the BUCK AVR brand...

Thanks, I bought the Denon S760H a couple months ago, honestly haven't been too pleased with it.

Hopefully this will be better.

Bought this receiver about a year ago. I cannot recommend as it has had an issue where after using it for a few days the OSD becomes unaccessible, giving a 'please wait...' text that never finishes and I have to reset the AVR for the error to go away (just turning it off/on doesn't fix the problem). Error is most common when using the Apple TV device but also occurs with the Google Chromecast device.

Bit the bullet.

My old Yamaha Receiver works great, but doesn't support Dolby Vision, DV, and more and more content now days is DV / HDR10 etc... everything else in my system supports it.

I changed the speaker settings in the receiver to 4 ohms and i didn't hear the pop sound while watching a movie today. Thank you for the help.

Changing setting to 4 ohms when you have 8 ohms speakers lowers your power output to make amp run cooler and pass safety tests. If your speakers are 8 ohm nominal, don't set avr to 4 ohms. This amp is not meant to drive 4 ohms speaker to begin with.

Hi KidzK, interesting last sentence. I have 4 ohms speakers and saw the receiver has an impedance rating of 4-16 ohms. Did I misunderstand?

always keep the impedance setting at the 8 ohm setting.

My PS5 is connected to TV not AVR, maybe that is the reason game sound is good. So I unplugged the Roku from AVR, connected it to the TV directly. Wala, the sound is much lounder and fuller. So I am happy with TV and movie sound, too, especially with subwoofer sounds. Don't see many people mention this trick.

Paid 299 for my nr-656 about 3 years ago. I'm happy with it but this is only 50 bucks more.... It's it worth the upgrade?

I run a 7.1 Atmos set up with Sony speakers but transitioning to Klipsch starting with the rp-450c.
