A stereo receiver for music and movies
I like a receiver that packs a lot of high-performance connectivity into one component. The Integra DTM-7 has just about every input source covered: it offers up to 40 AM/FM presets, wired connections for music and video devices, and wireless connectivity for a plethora of streaming music sources.
Plenty of wired connections
This receiver offers four 4K-ready HDMI inputs for video sources, and three digital audio inputs: two optical and one coaxial. It has plenty of connections for your analog components, too. There are three stereo RCA inputs for CD players, tape decks, cable boxes, and more. There's even a dedicated phono stage input if you're a vinyl-lover like me.
You can connect up to two pairs of speakers in an A/B configuration, and of course, there's a subwoofer output, because what's music without solid bass?
The receiver's rear-panel USB input (500 milliamps) can accomodate a flash drive full of music. The front-panel USB (1 amp) has enough juice to play music from a separate hard drive.
Wireless streaming convenience
Just about everyone has their favorite online music service, and a preferred method of streaming. The DTM-7 is absolutely loaded with options: it has built-in dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple Airplay®, and Chromecast. It supports popular streaming platforms like Spotify®, Pandora®, Deezer, TIDAL, and more. And it's compatible with Sonos and DTS Play-Fi®, so you can integrate it into your wireless multi-room system.
Expand to additional zones
The DTM-7 is designed to work as part of a multi-zone system. On the back, you'll find a line output that lets you connect to an additional amp to create a second zone. The receiver offers advanced power and remote control options so you can command your entire system from the comfort of your favorite chair.
Built to last
This receiver is designed to work hard, and smart. It features fully discrete output stage circuitry, a large power supply, and two high-current capacitors inside an anti-vibration chassis. A non-phase-shift amp design produces stunningly realistic sound imaging. Long story short: you'll enjoy more musical detail with little or no noise.
