A wireless wonder grounded by solid power.
It's been a little while since I’ve had a Sony receiver up on the gear rack, so I was looking forward to renewing the acquaintance, especially
as our subject is a mid-market model, and Sony has always been fiercely competitive at the most popular price points. So it’s not too surprising to find its new STR-DN1030 jammed with features that were strictly the stuff of high-end models perhaps 18 months ago: AirPlay compatibility, DLNA network audio streaming via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an iPhone/Android control app, to name just some.
