Professional reviewers commend the STR-DH190 for its clean, detailed audio and robust analog feature set, especially the built-in phono stage and vibration-reduced chassis. While its power output and input versatility are praised, critics note the lack of digital connectivity and the inconvenience of remote-only impedance settings, positioning it as a solid analog-focused receiver rather than a modern streaming hub.
Consumers generally love the receiver's straightforward analog performance, reliable Bluetooth, and value proposition. Common praise centers on easy vinyl setup and solid sound, while recurring complaints focus on missing HDMI, occasional Bluetooth hiccups, and the need to adjust speaker impedance manually.
