Onkyo TX-8470 Hi-Fi Network Stereo Receiver

Overview

The Onkyo TX-8470 is a 2-channel Hi-Fi network stereo receiver rated at 110 watts per channel (8 ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2-channel driven) via a Class G amplifier. It pairs an AKM premium 32-bit/768 kHz stereo DAC with a dedicated MM/MC phono input, gold-plated connections and modern networking. The receiver is finished in black.

Why This Model Matters

Onkyo, founded in 1946, has long specialized in stereo receivers, and the TX-8470 carries that tradition into the streaming era. A high-grade AKM DAC and an isolated MM/MC phono board make it a true audiophile hub for both vinyl and moving-coil cartridges, while HDMI ARC, Roon readiness and TIDAL support connect it to a modern TV and digital library.
