The receiver that ate Cleveland

Onkyo has just introduced the TXNR905 (Radio World, May 23 2007, page 2). This one receiver has 7.1 channel surround, "Neural Surround", XM AND Sirius satellite radio, HD radio, and a USB port for playing media from external devices. As far as I can tell, only two things are missing...internet radio, and the kitchen sink.

This type of device is obviously the future...one receiver that receives EVERYTHING (PUT IN THE DAMN INTERNET RADIO!)

Yea Mike, it is only $2,800 - LOL ! :D
 
But can it tune AM continuously, so I can select the desired passband? I doubt it.

Where are the specs? For that much money, I expect a spec sheet and a full schematic.
 
If only, Tom. Wouldn't it be great if home audio products had the features of communications receivers, like sync-selectable sideband (HD radios already have sync detection), variable passband offset, a variety of bandwidths, etc. Hell at this point, I'd settle for "analog lock". THAT is the feature EVERY HD radio needs for those situations where the signal is just at the threshold, and it goes back and forth betewen analog and digital. Fortunately this doesn't happen much, but when it does.....ARRGH! Still, it's no more annoying than rapid switches between mono and stereo (remember when the early stereo fm tuners would emit a "pop" whenever they switched?)
