Sony Vs Sony

[admin_exported]

Hi there could you tell me which in your opinion is the better amp:

Sony STRDA2400 or Sony DH810?

Can the Sony da2400 do 3D ?

Many thanks,

Mike.

Mald19,

The Sony STR-DA2400ES is considerably better than the STR-DH810 for sound quality.

Thanks for that Ronald, always encouraging to hear. Does anyone know if it can handle 3D audio and video though? I'm keen to future proof myself as much as i can on a limited budget!

Many thanks,

Mike.

Why don't you check sony's website i'm sure it'll tell you their, that would be my first port of call.

It's an older model, and can't do 3D passthrough.

Thanks for that Andrew. Realistically what difference will that make?

Many thanks,

Mike.

Mald19,

What exactly are you looking for? Best sound or 3D functionality?

If you want both, go for the Onkyo TX-SR608.

Hi mald19 it means that the sony stres2400 won't pass though the 3d video,where the strdh810 will.Hope this helps.

Hi guys, well i want to know whether 3D capability will truly make that much of a difference. I'm an average home consumer who's looking for a decent surround sound amp for .mkv and blu ray films, ps3 and freeview hd pvr, as well as a decent listen from my ipod.

But I don't want to buy the 2400 to find out that i'll be buying blu rays in the near future with '3D' and then find out and notice that I'm missing out visually and sonically. What does '3D' audio do? If I didn't have 3D functionality would that mean i couldn't watch the films using the amplifier?

I'd like the onkyo 608 but I can get the 2400 for £200 cheaper so it's a big ask.

I think by now that you'd know if you wanted 3D....do you have or are you planning on buying a 3D TV? if 'no' to either of these then the 3D issue really isn't worth worrying about. I'd probably look at something else for the money though if watching movies with BD player or Sky+HD are going to be your main sources.
