Sony is a popular name in the audio-video space, and currently the company"s STR-DH590 AV Receiver (AVR) is selling at its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below).
The headline here is support for 4K HDR passthrough, including HDR10, Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), and Dolby Vision. That means if you’re pairing this receiver with a UHD Blu-ray player or a streaming box, you can pass the signal through to a compatible display without losing visual fidelity.
On the audio side, the STR-DH590 offers Digital Theater/Cinema Auto Calibration (D.C.A.C.) with a supplied microphone. This is Sony’s automatic speaker setup routine, which measures distances and levels to balance the system from the desired position.
Sony highlights the internals of the AVR, claiming minimum noise circuitry and powerful power supply and transformer sections. The full technical specifications of the Sony STR-DH590 are given in the table below:
