My current Onkyo receiver is on its last legs, having served admirably for the past 7 years. The HDMI board (which died once before and was replaced two years into ownership) is finally giving up again. Placing a daughter board directly above the amplifier wasn't an ideal thermal design, but I digress...
I'm looking for a new receiver and am guessing the difference in sound between manufacturers in a given price bracket will be negligible in an untreated room, so I'm planning to base my purchase decision on network / streaming functionality. I'd like to be able to stream MP3 and FLAC files from local network shares and ideally online streaming services like Spotify using Android devices for control.
TL;DR Could anyone recommend an AV Receiver manufacturer / series with emphasis on network streaming and good Android control integration?
Thanks!
