Hi-Res Audio with an Analog Soul
The NS-6170 combines the accessibility and usability of digital audio with the soul of analog, transforming how you experience music on your Hi-Fi system. A wideband DIDRC Filter enhances flagship dual-differential DACs at the heart of a separately powered twin-monaural L/R channel circuit layout. These technologies help articulate the distinctive and nuanced instrumental resonances contained in Hi-Res Audio signals, but with a richness and vitality seldom associated with digital listening. Connect your HDD music library via USB and flick through terabytes of tunes like fingers through a record-store rack using the Onkyo Controller app, or cast whatever’s playing on your mobile using Google Cast™, AirPlay®, or Wi-Fi®. Every day is a new adventure in sound, and all through the same amp and speakers that make your LPs sing.
Engineered for Hi-Res Audio
Hi-Res Audio contains more information
and therefore more of the recording’s
atmosphere, allowing you to hear and
feel things you miss with other formats.
The NS-6170 is built from the ground up
to preserve the fidelity of DSD 11.2 MHz
and 192/24 Hi-Res Audio formats so you
get a complete sonic picture.
Wideband DIDRC Filter
DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction
Circuitry) Filter replaces standard DAC output filters. Hi-Res
Audio covers a much wider frequency band than CDs, and
conventional filters can’t erase noise that falls outside that
spectrum. This interference alters the harmonic character of
audible sound. Wideband DIDRC Filter erases ultra-highfrequency
distortion for
unparalleled fidelity.
Connect and Play HDD Audio via USB
Connect mass-storage-class HDDs via front
or rear USB inputs and put your entire digital
music collection at your fingertips. Use the
new Onkyo Controller app to browse, select,
and play albums from HDD quickly and easily.
Note: HDD must be formatted to FAT32.
Google Cast™ for Mobiles and PCs
Google Cast lets you cast audio from your mobile or laptop
to the NS-6170. Control playback via familiar apps for iPhone,
iPad, and Android™ devices as well as Mac, Windows®, and
Chromebook computers.
Stream Audio with AirPlay®
Send app-based audio from Apple laptops, PCs,
and iOS mobile devices to the Network Audio
Player over AirPlay in moments.
Selectable Dual-band Wi-Fi®
Connected homes mean more network
traffic. Dual-band 5 GHz/2.4 GHz Wi-Fi®
lets you select an uncongested channel for
smooth and stable wireless streaming.
Any Music You Want, When You Want It
TIDAL, Deezer, and TuneIn streaming and internet radio
services are conveniently accessible using the Onkyo Controller
app or remote controller. This Network Audio Player also
supports direct streaming from the Spotify Connect application.
Separate Power Supply Paths for Stereo Precision
The NS-6170 features a twin monaural layout for L/R channels
with separate power supply paths, upgraded transformer, and
extra-large audio capacitors
for left and right DACs. This
dual design enhances power
stability and precision for
extremely accurate stereo
playback, adding authenticity
and emotion to the musical
experience.
Dual-Differential DAC Configuration
Flagship AK4490 768 kHz/32-bit
DACs for L/R channels decode
the positive and negative halves of
the signal waveform separately. As
well as improving voltage stability
and dropping the noise floor,
dual-differential DAC configuration
increases bandwidth and pulls
every detail from Hi-Res Audio.
Intuitive Control with Onkyo Controller app
Control playback from anywhere within Wi-Fi®
range, select and stream music from onboard
services, and explore music on connected
HDDs with a new, user-focused remote control
application for iOS*1 and Android™*2.
*1 Requires iOS 8.4 or later. *2 Requires Android 4.0.3 or later.
