Has sound comparable to my Mac preamp/poweramps in another room. Its running a pair of B and W 802Ds and the sound is flawless. Never heard any receiver sound this accurate, delicate and dynamic. Very quiet, a bit to learn, but not bad. I believe Sony hit its high end stride with this series of Receivers.

I'd been wanting to upgrade my old mid-level receiver to better match my speaker system for some time. Getting back into the research and finding the deals that were available on this receiver made me decide to go for a higher level of components. Then, when my friend's dad (you know, the techie-guy that researches everything to the nth degree) gave me a demo of this same Sony receiver -- only a few years older -- I was sold!! I made the purchase that evening. Once received, I set everything up with my Sony BRAVIA tv and Sony Blu-Ray player. After testing out the uncompressed blu-ray sound as well as unlocking perfect sound from my music collection, I literally sat home for the next 3 hours just re-experiencing my music collection!! I haven't had a smile like that for some time.... Though it all went together quite easily, I don't think that I've quite gotten the full hang of how the remotes work with the other components yet. Every so often I learn a new trick. I might actually break down and read the manual. This is a great sounding receiver for both audio and blu-ray movies. I would totally recommend this product to my friends! Though, when they hear it, I usually don't need to say anything...Read full review
I bought this receiver from this dealer because they had a great price. It replaced a Marantz SR 6003, which in itself was a great receiver. I'm a Sony fan however. This one sets up very easily and the automatic equalization works much better than other manufacturers. I'm disappointed that HD radio isn't part of this but not many offer that yet. Also disappointed that there is no Internet connect for radio. Although I'm running an HTPC in my system and don't really need Internet radio, it would be more convenient if it was all in one package. Overall great receiver and I'd highly recommend it!
The STR-DA5400 is a versatile home theater recceiver with all the functions of the most expensive recievers at a more reasonable cost. *6 Assignible HDMI inputs *Microphone (included) to automaticall set up your listening room -WOW- *Upconvert any video source to HD. *130 wqtts to all the speakers @ 8 ohms *Dual cone HDMI outputs so this receiver can run 2 totally seperate shows to 2 different TVs. The receiver is easy to use and set up with a GUI interface for assigning inputs, outputs, and adjusting speaker settings.
It is all about the sound quality for me... I have been using Pioneer Elite Receivers for over a decade but after reading so many positive reviews raving about this units sound quality I decided to give it a try... They were right, This is such a sweet sounding unit... NOT a powerhouse by any means but the imagery and staging and overall sound quality is mind blowing. Voices are so realistic and out front that movies come to new life.... Every little subtle nuance is right there to hear...Never thought I would be in love with a SONY receiver... BUT IT HAS HAPPENED!!! No Baloney, Viva La Sony!!!! (ES).
