Making the best look not quite so good last month, Sony's STR-DA5400ES multichannel receiver only lacks for want of network streaming. Besides this, it takes the best qualities from all the competition and presents it in a single beautiful device.

"Group Test Winner"
Not that the other three tested are in any way average, it's simply that Sony's STR-DA5400ES is a very special receiver. Compelling authority and altogether peerless integration make this comfortably the best in its class.

Classic Japanese hi-fi design meets high-end tech in Sony's STR-DA5400ES AV receiver. The strongest feature among many is sublime audio performance, with an exceptional soundstage. Lack of DAB, networking and S-Video support are issues.
