Specifications and features

Overview

If you (or perhaps your partner) don’t want a bulky box in the middle of the living room, you might consider opting for the compact NR1605 AV receiver. But don’t be fooled by its small size: it packs as much punch as its bigger brothers, delivering impressive surround sound with its 7 channels, each offering 90W of output power, and Dolby True HD and DTS-HD audio decoders. It also features Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities, allowing you to listen to your digital music, regardless of where it’s stored.

Although very compact, this receiver offers the same network capabilities for audio streaming as its larger siblings. It will play your favorite Internet radio stations, AirPlay and Spotify Connect streams, as well as uninterrupted HD audio and DSD streaming. But audio quality isn’t the only impressive aspect of the NR1605: it also delivers superior image quality thanks to its 4K 60Hz transmission capabilities, on-screen display overlay, and 4K upscaling. It provides multi-room/multi-source functionality without requiring an additional amplifier.

Moreover, setup is a breeze, thanks to an advanced graphical user interface, a setup assistant, and the Audyssey MultEQ function with its measurement microphone. No need to study the manual; simply follow the on-screen instructions. Like many models released this year, the NR1605 features an intelligent ECO mode that significantly reduces your power consumption. Ease of use with Smart Select buttons, elegant lines, power, and sonic impact: what more could you ask for?

User reviews

Josselin

Having purchased this amplifier mainly for its wireless functions (wifi and airplay), I use it to listen to internet radio - although these sometimes "skip". Airplay did not work at all at first, but once the firmware update was done via the integrated firmware system (in the options), it worked without any problems. For a short time, it seems to no longer work at all today (with the same Apple devices that worked on it before), and I specify that nothing has changed since then (no iOS update, same excellent wifi connection, etc...).

Pros: good connectivity /.
Cons: airplay seems to work when it feels like it / Unstable internet connection?

Ayant acheter cet amplificateur principalement pour ses fonctions sans fil (wifi et airplay) , je l'utilise pour écouter des radios internet - bien que celles ci "sautent" parfois. Le Airplay ne fonctionnait pas du tout au début, une fois la mise a jour faite via le systeme micrologiciel intégré (dans les options) , cela a fonctionné sans probleme. Pour une courte durée, cela ne semble aujourd'hui ne plus fonctionner du tout (avec les memes appareils Apple qui ont fonctionné dessus) , et je précise que rien n'a changé depuis (pas de mise a jour ios, meme excellente connexion wifi etc...) .

Les plus : bonne connectique /.
Les moins : airplay semble marcher quand bon lui semble / Connexion internet instable ?

Looks good but barely used before a bug appeared. I think I'll return it for another product.

Pros: slim size and plentiful connectivity options.

A l'air bien mais peu utilisé avant un bug. Je pense faire un retour pour un autre produit.

Les plus : taille slim et connectiques pléthoriques.

Very high quality audio product. Sufficient power. Audyssey system or graphic equalizer. Extensive and very pleasant to use connectivity (Bluetooth, WiFi, DLNA). Very satisfied with this product which has a very attractive quality/price ratio at Homeciné Solutions.

Pros: connectivity, discretion, audio quality, power, look, quality/price ratio.
Cons: vast possibilities for manual settings, it's a bit easy to get lost...
