Engadget: More than a few people have been interested in Onkyo’s x07 receiver updates, and now the newness has come to the TX-SR707 and TX-NR807 models.

The outgoing TX-SR706 and TX-SR806 models are well-specced to begin with, and thankfully Onkyo didn’t mess with that formula. As you can guess from the “NR” designation, the $1,099 (€777) TX-NR807 adds in network streaming (including Pandora, Rhapsody, DLNA and Windows 7) to the 135-Watt/channel output.

If you can do without the networking and only need 100-Watts, the TX-SR707 will save you a couple hundred bucks. Both models are THX Select2 badged, Faroudja scaling, and let you pick how to use your rear surround outputs by including both Dolby ProLogic IIz and Audyssey DSX processing.

TechDigest: Japanese company Onkyo has announced the release of two new home cinema receivers – the TX-SR707 and the TX-NR807. Both units are 7.2-channel receivers and are THX-certified.

They both feature six HDMI inputs – which should more than cover most home setups, Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIz decoding, 1080p video upscaling, four dedicated DSP modes which will be useful for hard-core gamers and ultra-low jitter Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit DAC.

The TX-NR807 is also internet enabled allowing for firmware updates and, more importantly, it’s equipped to stream audio and internet radio such as Last.fm. The units are available from the end of July and are priced at £700 (€825) for the TX-SR707 and £800 (€943) for the TX-NR807.
