Depends on the specific models you are comparing I think. I would only get a new receiver if i was into home theater and needed dolby atmos, otherwise your money is better spent on music geared seperates for pure SQ.
Are modern receivers any better than older ones?
I wanna know if modern receivers offer any better sound quality? or do they just have more inputs/music streaming/other random features.
I currently have an old Sony STR-DE898, and I’m debating whether it’s worth upgrading or not, I don’t really care about extra features and stuff, I just want the best sound quality.
And if I’m upgrading, what specs should I be looking at for a new receiver?
