Very good product solid sound

 

This amp is highly recommended feature loaded, Google cast is sound only and I kinda miss not having pro logic 2. Great power with a smooth sound, very easy setup and the 4k upscale is very good.

4k upscaler , easy setup , powerful rich sound

google cast audio only , lack of prologic 2 option , phone app is hit and miss
