  • Product Description

    The TX-8270, is a beautifully engineered 100W/ Ch. network stereo receiver designed to maximize musical enjoyment and drive your favorite speakers. Built around a massive transformer, audio-grade capacitors, and discrete non-phase-shift circuitry locked into a robust chassis, this amp has high-current power to illuminate cherished vinyl to Hi-Res audio and unmatched connectivity options for audio components.


    From the manufacturer

    Driving Big Speakers with Strength and Dynamism

    This amp system generates high current with a massive transformer and audio-grade capacitors. Circuitry features discrete output transistors for low distortion and effortless driving power. High current assures accurate control, restoring energy and vitality to your music. Non-phase-shift circuitry, meanwhile, focuses the audio image and reproduces a

    wide frequency bandwidth to maximize Hi-Res Audio and vinyl playback.

    Rated at 100W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC), the TX-8270 is our best stereo receiver for driving speakers.

    Music Made Easy with Chromecast built-in*

    Stream any music from your smartphone, laptop, or PC to the TX-8270 with ease. Control playback with Chromecast enabled apps you know and love from your iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet, Mac or Windows laptop, or Chromebook.

    * Requires the available firmware update.

    Smooth Analog Signal

    Onkyo developed Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) to reassemble the audio signal to its original form following processing. Unlike conventional filters, VLSC removes pulse noise generated in D/A conversion, allowing the sound wave to be reproduced with extremely high fidelity for a smooth analog signal.

    Stream Anything with DTS Play-Fi*

    DTS Play-Fi is a wireless protocol that works with any audio app on mobiles and PC. Flick whatever’s playing to the receiver, even different sources to different components at the same time.

    * Requires the available firmware update.

    FireConnect Wireless Multi-room Audio

    FireConnect powered by Blackfire mirrors network audio sources and any external analog source playing through the receiver—from streaming audio to vinyl—on optional wireless speakers, such as the Onkyo NCP-302. Playback control across the home is via Onkyo Controller.

    Note: Sharing audio from external inputs is model-dependent and is enabled with a future firmware update. Sampling rates up to 48 kHz are supported. FireConnect is powered by Blackfire Research Corp., USA.

    Supports 4K HDR and BT.2020 Video Pass-through

    Connect up to four media players to the receiver’s HDCP 2.2-compliant HDMI inputs. The terminals support pass-through of 4K/60 Hz video, 4K HDR in HDR10 or Dolby Vision formats, as well as BT.2020 4K video standard. Enjoy premium 4K Ultra HD content untouched from source to screen.

    Internet Radio, Streaming Services, and FM/AM Radio

    TIDAL, Deezer, TuneIn, and Pandora are baked into the GUI, making it easy to select from a massive range of music and radio programs. FM/AM radio tuners are also included with 40 station presets. Get instant access to four of your favorite stations via memory preset buttons on the front panel.

    Premium Digital-to-Analog Processing

    An AK4438 384 kHz/32-bit digital-to-analog converter from AKM features unique low-distortion technologies ideally suited to DSD 5.6 MHz*1 and PCM signals up to 192 kHz/24-bit*2. Together with unique VLSC filtering circuitry, which eliminates ultra-high-frequency pulse noise, playback is crystal clear.

    *1 Playback after PCM conversion.

    *2 192/24 PCM not supported over wireless LAN or USB.

    Zone 2

    An dedicated DAC for NET/USB Audio Distribution and Zone 2 pre-outs send any audio (even streamed audio) to a second room equipped with a power amp and a pair of speakers, perhaps on the deck or in the garage. Play the same source in both rooms or a different source in Zone 2.

    Dual-band Wi-Fi, AirPlay, Spotify Connect

    A selectable 5 GHz Wi-Fi channel assures stable connectivity in areas with traffic congestion on the 2.4 GHz band. Enjoy smooth streaming over AirPlay, the Spotify Connect app, and other network audio services.

    A Stereo Receiver that Connects Everything

    A beautiful stereo receiver crafted for hi-fi enthusiasts, the TX-8270 is also exclusively equipped with connections allowing it to serve as an up-to-date amp for TV entertainment. Joining analog, digital, phono, and USB inputs are HDMI terminals (connect an Apple TV or similar) together with a Next Generation Network Audio platform. Cast music from familiar apps quickly and easily.

    Great performing receiver
    5 Stars
    Great performing receiver
    This receiver is a simple 2 channel stereo receiver. It does that job very well. The price is below some of the top rated receivers, but many of them have a/v features and setups for 5.1, 7.1, and the ever increasing surround setups. I didn't want all that, but this receiver does have wifi. bluetooth and is compatible with most music services. One complaint I have is that no printed user manual is provided, and online info is disjointed, lacking detail, and basically hard to deal with. I will eventually use the wifi and bluetooth, but it looks like it may take some trial and error to get it set up. In the meantime, at 100w per channel this unit will drive just about any speakers very well. I'm not an audiophile, so I'm not hearing any distortion or problems with the sound this unit puts out.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018
    Style: TX-8270Configuration: ReceiverVerified Purchase
    Update. I noticed when I switched from listening to Pandora on the Net to playing vinyl on the turntable that there was a big difference in the volume coming out of the receiver. I even sold a very nice Denon cartridge thinking that it was the problem. I assumed it was the built in preamp contacted another dealer looking for a separate preamp to boost the sound up. The Crutchfield customer service agent informed me that you can adjust the volume of each component on this receiver. Something that I didn't notice in the manual. Now the volume from the turntable, Pandora and CD player are the same.
    I will always love my vintage receiver, but it was missing some modern options. After reading many reviews I decided on the Onkyo TX-8270. It is a bit smaller and lighter then I imagined it would be. However, it was a breeze to set up, the multi channel WiFi works great. The receiver fills a large great room with beautiful music. I paired it with Klipsch RB-61 II bookshelf speakers and a Klipsch R-10SWI wireless subwoofer.
    What I love about this receiver, it has HDMI options so you can use it as a home theatre system (no center channel), it has a full size remote(so when the girlfriend enters the room I can easily lower the volume), it has a preamp for a turntable, and ports for my CD player and IPOD cradle. One of the best features is that you can stream music services with it after downloading the Onkyo Controller app. So I can use my tablet and turn on the receiver (through wood cabinet doors), choose a Pandora station, and adjust the volume, treble, base, subwoofer volume, etc.
    This receiver is a beautiful high tech piece of electronics, it has lots of power, the sound is great and it is very cool to play around with.

    5 ++Stars This Is An Excellent Unit, I love this amp! Has plenty of power for my 2- 6 speaker each Tower Speakers sound is crystal clear and does not distort at hi volume, I also added a 300 watt sub onto it makes a big difference in bass. The other major plus is all the digital hook ups and internet features that are built into it. On Screen settings is a wonderful feature and makes set up incredibly simple and the amount of individualized adjustments to settings almost seems unending. I run my Roku via the HDMI pass through so all my internet tv, YouTube etc.. sound comes through the amp. Plus unit still has analog inputs for turntable and other analog units. My Rotel analog amp blew and I replaced it with this one (TX-8270 Why Amazon lumps all the reviews into one I don't know) I strongly recommend this amp for the money it is an excellent buy especially if you are not looking for a fancy home theater surround sound system, bu t a great regular stereo system that adapts well to anything out there right now.

    Update 6/9/17: After searching the Android Play Store for the advertised Onkyo control app I found several. Confusing. I downloaded 3, none of which work with the receiver. Looking through the Play Store for reviews I found that most people were finding it impossible to connect with the receiver. The receiver is connected to my wi-fi network. Airplay and TuneIn both work fine. Then looking the app up in the iTunes store I found the same thing. Come on, Onkyo, if you can't make an app that works don't advertise it. Since the problems connecting go back to last year, there has been plenty of time to fix this problem if Onkyo really wanted to do so. If I hadn't already gotten rid of the packaging, I'd return the receiver. Crappy software and sloppy interface design mar an otherwise good product.

    Original Review
    I've been listening to this for 10 days now and and am very happy with the sound. I'm serving music from an old Macbook Pro through the optical out port. That lets the receiver run the signal through the built in DAC. I've read that Macs have good enough sound cards built in that there's no need for a digital audio converter (DAC) to improve the sound. Not true. I switched between a standard cable and the optical one and the difference is immediate and clear. If you mostly have compressed music, MP3 or AAC, the DAC will show you the loss of quality from the compression. With CDs , Apple Lossless or FLAC audio, the DAC will bring out clarity that you would miss without the extra circuit.

    The receiver will also handle signals from AirPlay and bluetooth. That's handy and the music sounds good, though not as good as the audio through the digital input. The receiver will also handle music directly through wi-fi from several streaming services like Pandora, and Tidal. That also works well. With a decent pair of speakers (Wharfedale Diamond 225s) it's possible to tell the difference between Pandora's highest quality MP3 music and Tidal's FLAC. The difference is small but it's there. It's also possible to stream music via Chromecast. That works for music or you could use the HDMI to pass a TV signal through the receiver to your TV for better sound. There are 4 HDMI ports for input from multiple sources. There's a USB in on the front of the unit that will play from my phone or a memory stick, however the signal doesn't run through the DAC.

    That HDMI out port is my only problem with the Onkyo. You will need it to do some of the wi-fi setup. It also greatly simplifies FM station setting The menu is displayed through the video out HDMI port. That means it's necessary to have a TV or monitor to see the menu in some circumstances. As my stereo is in a separate room from my TV that means I had to dig out an old computer monitor to hook up to the stereo for setup. Since I am mostly using the computer as input, that's not a real problem, but it shouldn't be *necessary* to hook a TV up to a receiver to use some of its features. My cheap all-in-one inkjet printer/scanner includes a simple LCD panel for settings. This receiver should too.

    I expected a more clinical sound out of the receiver. I was wrong. It has a tiny bit of warmth. It also has more than enough power to run a pair of bookshelf speakers. I recently picked up a pair of Q Acoustics 3050 speakers. They are sounding good. I expect them to be excellent once they burn in. I can run those on the A channel and still have enough power to the B channel to run my Wharfedales in the den. Sweet. The headphone sound is nice but not as nice as I get from my hundred buck Schiit Magni 2. I'm listening on a pair of Sennheiser HD 700 headphones, which are better than my speakers.

    I'm not going to go through the specs. They're in the product description. They are very good for a receiver in this price range.

Opciones configurables apra cada entrada de audio, control muy completo desde la App (desde encenderlo hasta controlar volumen, fuente, etc.) con BRONZE 100 de Monitor Audio y subwofer Onkyo es una delicia escuchar mis CDs favoritos.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mi primer amplificador: totalmente satisfecho

    Ciertamente es mi primer amplificador, de modo que no tengo con qué compararlo previamente. Lo conecté a unas Polk TSx 220B y es mucho más de lo que esperaba. Impactante sonido, nítido, instrumentos definidos y bajo preciso. Pensaba agregar un subwoofer pero ahora lo veo innecesario. Lo uso solo para música, con una tornamesa y desde aplicaciones streaming. La conectividad, por cierto, es eficaz, desde WiFi y Bluetooth. Todo bien. Recomendado.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excelente equipo
    Reviewed in Mexico on July 7, 2018

    Este equipo esta pensado para funciones de red, su interfase permite conectarse a Tidal, spotify, deezer, entre otros. Esa parte permite poder escuchar tu musica via streaming. Por otra parte, la interfase es muy basica, no permite sacarle el maximo provecho a los servicios de streaming, pero es funcional. Viene con protecciones de derechos de autor, por lo que no podran escuchar algunos archivos si no tienen los certificados respectivos. Soporta FLAC y DSD. Al encenderlo, tarda un poco en inicializarse. Es un tanto complicado tratar de manejarlo con el control remoto, y para la parte de streaming es necesario tenerlo conectado a una TV, Tambien se puede manejar todo mediante la aplicacion, la cual es muy buena, permite controlar el equipo en su totalidad sin la necesidad de control remoto o TV. Se calienta un poco a altos volumenes, pero es algo normal en esta marca.
