The TX-SR876 pumps out 200w per channel, the TX-NR906 220w. Each comes equipped with four HDMI 1.3a inputs and two outputs, 1080p video upscaling and upconversion with HQV Reon-VX, onboard decoding for all the high-definition audio formats, three Texas Instruments Aureus 32-bit DSP chips for processing and Burr-Brown PCM1796192KHz/24-bit DACs for all channels.
Key differences on the TX-NR906 are that it has separate transformers for the audio and video stages for audio purity, is network audio capable, certified for Windows Vista, can stream audio via Ethernet and has a front-panel USB socket for connecting portable audio devices.
The TX-SR906 will be available from the beginning of September, the SR876 from mid-September. Both models will be available in silver or black.
