    New Sony ES 8K AV Receiver Line STR-AZ7000ES STR-AZ5000ES STR-AZ3000ES STR-AZ1000ES

    Well there was a break in the heat a couple days ago so I was able to turn on the Sony-az7000ES for a few hours. I just watched Streaming Shows. What surprised me was the audio was perfect, perfect in the way the sound didn't distract from the content. Everything was natural real to life. To me...

    I guess I must be luck with my Sony-az7000es Zero Hiss, Zero Hum, No HDMI Issues, except the Sony doesn't like the Panasonic-dp-ub9000 HDMI issues with that unit. As far as sound I'd say for movies it sounds identical to Yamaha Flagship Receivers but Better than Yamaha for Music. Is the...

    With the Coxial input for 7.1 Surround I will say the Bass and Dynamics seem to be improved. Bass is deeper and the Dynamics is if anything a little too much at times. When using Coxial input the Sony-az7000es in Pure Direct still works with 7.1 Surround and the Bass is even better. That's with...

    Sony str-az7000es doesn't like The Panasonic-dp-ub9000. The Panasonic UHD player has a 2.0 HDMI out and the Sony rejects anything below HDMI 2.1. ? Chash Crab I quess by the manufacturers to throw out all older equipment and buy new. Sucks. However I can run the Panasonic-dp-ub9000 2.0 HDMI out...

    One thing I haven't seen on Audio Science is about Remote Controls. Like what's the Harmony Remote like?? I Think this is important to know. When I search these Remote Controls all I see is people complaining. That complaining makes it impossible to find out which are good. Hopefully Amir can...

    Update on the Rotel RCD-1572MKII. Well I happy to say the cd players internal dac (32Bits) sounds excellent. CDs don't sound like CDs which is what I was looking for. Before I was using the Panasonic-dp-ub9000 as a cd player and it sounded Digital. CDs sound the way they're supposed to like...

    There wasn't much to choose from, CD Players are becoming extinct. I did choose Rotels Older Flagship CD Player, there are 2 lower models and one higher model. I already have a Rotel Build up so I wasn't interested in Denon, Marantz or Yamaha. I may have considered buying a Sony but other than...

    Well the Rotel RCD-1572MKII is excellent I have Zero issues. Funny thing is I had to carry it the unit. The box was huge and wouldn't fit in the bag I had. So they rapped it in a super strong black garage bag. My God it was heavy. I did manage to get it home. To add to my carrying of the unit...

    Sony unfortunately doesn't have any CD Players anymore. I am not saying the Rotel RSP-1576MKII is the best it's not. But it's worth the look if your old sony CDplayer went to trash. I am happy with the Rotel it sounds excellent and better than most cd players.

    The unit sounds very good with everything I played in it using its internal circuitry. No issues. I don't like its remote all black and no back lighting.

    Well yesterday I bought a Rotel RCD-1572MKII which is a 16 pound cd player. I am breaking that player in so I haven't connected to the Sony str-az7000es yet. What a beautiful cd player, I bought the Silver Version. I am playing it through my Rotel system now using the cds internal dac and...

    I have tride music using Fire Tv 3rd Gen with the Sony-az7000es and it sounds good. I tride I Heart app and everything is fine. I also listened to Pink Floyd's 50th Anniversary 2023 Remaster of Dark Side of the Moon on YouTube and the Album sounded as it should. I don't have Apple or Tidal as I...

    What impressed me the most with the Prime Tv Cube is the weight, heavy for the size. I also love the cloth look.

    So you haven't complained the two at all. I can tell you there is a difference. I can tell you the Dialog is better with the Prime Tv Box. Somehow the Apple TV Box berries the Dialog with action and music. The Prime Tv Box doesn't do that.
