Sony STR-DA5400ES 7.1 120W/Channel Audiophile Home Theater & Phono Receiver (2 available, hardly used)

This is the flagship Sony STR-DA5400ES 7.1-channel A/V and home theater receiver in mint cosmetic and 100% working condition. I purchased this beauty for a home theater and it has had little use. I have 2 mint of these receivers available and can lower the price if you buy both.

This receiver supports phono and has a phono ground.

Part of Sony’s legendary Elevated Standard (ES) audio line, this receiver features a heavy-duty chassis, audiophile-grade power transformers, and pristine sound quality.

It delivers a true 120 Watts RMS per channel across all 7 channels with ultra-low distortion—ideal for powering demanding high-end home theater or stereo speaker setups.

Key Features:

Heavy-Duty Power: 120W x 7 channels (8 ohms, 20-20,000 Hz at 0.09% THD).

Dedicated Phono Stage: Built-in Moving Magnet (MM) turntable input—sounds incredible for vinyl collectors.

High-Res Audio Support: Decodes Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and native DSD/SACD over HDMI.

Bi-Amping & Pre-Outs: Full 7.1 pre-outs and option to bi-amp front main speakers.

Rich I/O Options: 6 HDMI inputs, dual HDMI outputs, multiple optical/coaxial digital inputs, and multi-zone support.
