Hopefully will get a Sony STR-DN2080 after these ES models release. The Top consumer non-ES receiver was always a mixed balance of performance and features like the Sony STR-DN1080. I remember a while ago, Sony sent a survey about my 1080 but I forgot what the options were.
I think the stupidest feature is the ability to add those ****** wireless speakers/subwoofers to your receiver. I can imagine making receivers barely brings any profit but pull a "Bose" move, use heavy heavy DSP with shit speakers and charge a high price for that "tech", and watch that dough roll in. I mean clearly I'm not pulling this out of my ass when Sony hasn't made a new receiver since 2017.
Judging by the video, the settings haven't changed at all. The "EQ" is just still Tone Control like an old OEM radio. Honestly I always like how my 1080 settings were anyways.
At the end of the day, I am still glad Sony is making receivers. Sony could've stopped making nice products like what Mitsubishi did with there car division.
