According to our receiver expert
Create a real-life surround sound with the Sony STRDN1080. This 7.2-channel AV receiver supports DTS:X and Dolby Atmos.

Do you prefer listening to music? Connect the receiver to the Internet to gain access to the wireless playback functions. Listen to your own music, streaming services, or internet radio.

I have been using this device for over a month now. My old installation was due for an update and this seemed like a nice combination with the Sony UBP-X800 BluRay player.
The installation itself went quite smoothly. Of course you have to connect some cables and occasionally take the booklet with it, but nothing insurmountable.
A lot of rave reviews have already been written about the sound quality, the sound is also completely what I expected, nothing to complain about.
You can connect just about all possible speaker combinations to this, and you can also calibrate your combination with the supplied micro with the room at your home so that everything really sounds as it should.
I myself have a simple stereo with 2 x 2 decent speakers in two adjacent rooms, so I wanted a receiver with A and B speakers. That also works without any problems. You can also listen to different sources with this device in two rooms.
You get more than enough HDMI and audio connectivity for a CD player, AppleTV, an old iPod, or… You can also connect via Bluetooth or WiFi. Please note, it is not possible to connect a record player to this device.
Via WiFi you can immediately stream from Spotify or other audio services. Via Bluetooth you can send sound to your headphones or you can connect your receiver to your Smartphone. From there you can stream smoothly from any app or use the remote control app to control your receiver. With Bluetooth you have to choose whether you send or receive.
Radio remains important to me on a receiver, and I found this instrument a bit less. On my old device I still had a connection to connect it to the cable from Telenet. It's missing here and that's a shame. The supplied antenna cable clearly cannot deliver the same quality and that causes disturbing noise for me. You would think that internet radio would catch that, but that is not self-evident here either. That internet radio is actually the tuneIn radio app that you control from your mobile phone. That's fine in itself, but if you're a bit far away from the device, the radio also disappears… With Spotify, the music continues to play when I'm out of Bluetooth range.
As far as operation is concerned, the design is kept rather sleek and you therefore get few buttons on the receiver itself. When you watch TV, that is not really necessary, you can easily arrange everything with the well-arranged remote control and your TV. If you only want to listen to music, you sometimes miss an extra button on the device. For example, you cannot turn the speakers in the second room on or off with one button, but you have to combine them anyway. If you want to adjust the volume in room B, three actions are quickly required and that is just a bit of a hassle.
The Bluetooth remote on my iPhone is simple and would be perfect if it connected automatically every time. But that doesn't happen, so every time you have to tap your receiver in your Bluetooth menu on your mobile phone, wait until it is connected, and then tap internet radio in your menu and then choose your station in your TuneIn app. , to adjust the volume in the correct zone of the app. Quickly turning on the radio in the morning becomes a real hassle. So quickly click on FM on the remote control. Immediately radio, but with noise.
To be clear, a great device with wonderful sound that will not disappoint you, especially in combination with your TV. If you're looking for a receiver that should primarily serve sound, then I think there are better choices out there.

After a 12-year-old Onkyo, this is a serious upgrade. Bought one of the more expensive Onkyos at the time, now wanted to spend less money. This Sony is super priced and although it has been on the market for two years, it is very futureproof. All sound on board such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and very easy to install. The microphone delivers very precise work and is able to estimate the sizes, distances, etc. of loudspeakers perfectly. Sound is great, sounds very colorful and full. Many setting options that are clearly displayed on the screen. Not for nothing placed in the Hall of Fame at What's HiFi with 5 stars two years in a row. In short, highly recommended!

First I had a much more expensive amplifier from Pioneer, this Sony is half the price, but it should certainly not be inferior! I wanted to be able to watch netflix in surround through this amplifier and in combination with a Sony TV Sony KD-49XE9005 (also ordered from coolblue) this is perfectly possible. In short, I am very satisfied with this amplifier! Also the delivery was PERFECT as always!
