Onkyo Electronics has announced plans to release two new A/V receivers later this year, each supporting full DTS-HD Master Lossless Audio and Dolby TrueHD decoding.

The TX-SR605 is due in late May, with an MSRP of $599. It will be followed later this fall by the top-of-the-line, THX Ultra 2-c certified TX-S4806, which will list for a cool $1099.

Both units are the first next-gen hardware to hit the market capable of decoding DTS-HD Master Lossless Audio at their full resolution, via HDMI V1.3A connections. Until now, there has been no way to enjoy DTS-HD soundtracks on Blu-ray and HD DVD discs at their full potential, as all current next-gen receivers and players have, at best, only been able to extract a standard DTS 1.5mpbs "core" audio stream from DTS-HD-encoded discs.

Further details for both Onkyo models have been added to the company's official website: click to visit the TX-SR605 product page and the TX-SR805 product page.
