Onkyo's Hi-Fi revolution gathers pace with the TX-8050. This finely sculpted stereo receiver delivers two channels of audio precision to entertainment spaces where you don't need advanced video processing or multichannel audio. Analog A/V inputs on the TX-8050 are augmented by digital optical and coaxial audio inputs, a Universal Port for Onkyo peripherals, and a front-side USB input for direct digital connection of iPod /iPhone . The receiver's network capability, meanwhile, lets you stream internet radio or play audio from a PC or network audio storage device. Behind the smart aluminum façade lies a massive transformer and large capacitors that provide clean amplification power and help push performance well beyond the norm.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Great Sounding and Functional Receiver
Bought this receiver and matched it up with a pair of Paradigm Atoms w/ Auralex speaker platforms. This was for a bedroom set-up and the unit and speakers sit on a 2x dresser. I was expecting an average sound and got much more.
Pros:
1. Plays FLAC via a NTFS USB Powered Hard Drive. The hard drive I use is 640 GB. It reads the Hard Drive relatively quickly (15 sec) and scrolls through the folders very quickly.
2. Adding the receiver to the network is easy - just enter your WEP - done. You can stream WMP and with the program Jamcast you can stream Spotify, MOG, etc via DLNA. Has Pandora, MyRhapsody and some other programs already installed on the receiver. Entering your username and password for those services using a dial is probably the most painstaking effort for setting it up.
3. Most important - it sounds GREAT. I was worried about having a lean sound with Atoms and Onkyo. However, it's actually quite warm. It could be that it's in a carpeted...

Just what I was looking for!
I recently built a workshop in my backyard and wired it up with a network connection and stereo speakers while I was at it. The whole time I just assumed that good networked stereo receivers would be easy to come by for not much money - but it turns out I was wrong.
After a fairly extensive search, I finally came across this little bad boy. I've never owned an Onkyo product before, but I do know they have a good reputation - so I went ahead and pulled the trigger.
Just so you know, my main usage includes listening to AM & FM as well as networked radio stations and music from my local music collection that's already on my network.
After having said all that, here are the things I like about the Onkyo TX-8050:
1) The sound is excellent! I have it hooked up to a pair of Polk OWM5 speakers and they sound very good. Just what I was looking for in my workshop.
2) The Internet radio options are very good. With the vTuner, I can tune...
Excellent Product (but not perfect)
This review was written after two weeks of ownership, and updated after 7 months.
Do I like it? Yes! Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes!
PROS:
- very good sound quality

- DLNA and Web enabled, including Apple and Android Apps (!)
- USB port for playing from an iPod, HDD, or other MSC player
- subwoofer output (see details)
- Zone 2 output (pre-amp level only)
- firmware updates via USB or internet
CONS:
- subwoofer output does not mute when using headphones (dumb!)
- occasional DLNA lockups and web station dropout.
- the front panel button text is hard to read, but still better than most other brands.
- runs hot even at idle (no sound).
- plays WAV files from my old WD NAS just fine, but can't play the same files from my new myDitto NAS.
I needed a modestly priced stereo receiver for my office and found quite a few...
