Integra’s home theater offerings expand with DSX-3 A/V receiver, DLB-5 soundbar

By

Plenty of home theater enthusiasts are familiar with the Onkyo brand name, but fewer are acquainted with Integra, the company’s high-end label. While its products are often aimed at the hardcore custom installer set, Integra also sells A/V gear that appeals to anyone looking for a quality product, as evidenced by the company’s latest releases: the DLB-5 network object-based surround soundbar system, and DSX-3 6.1-channel network A/V receiver.

The DSX-3 network A/V receiver takes a different path than the plus-sized DRX receivers Integra released earlier this year, focusing on packing high-grade components into a thin, light chassis. This ultra-low-profile design weighs in at 8.8 pounds, but features a 384 kHz/32-bit Asahi Kasei DAC and plenty of power at 80 watts per channel at 4 ohms.

Featuring four HDMI inputs, all of which support 4K at 60 Hz, the DSX-3 also features HDR, 4:4:4, BT.2020, and HDCP 2.2. While not available at launch, the receiver will eventually support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-based surround sound, which are planned to be added via a firmware update in 2017. Wireless connectivity is built in, with support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, and FireConnect, as well as streaming services like Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, and TuneIn.

Integra says the other product released today, the DLB-5 soundbar system, is one of the only soundbars on the market right now featuring support for object-based surround sound. The system features a six-driver passive sound bar, wireless powered subwoofer, and a control unit that the company says is a variation of the DSX-3 receiver.

The soundbar system features four HDMI inputs, which support HDCP 2.2, HDR10, and BT.2020 color. While not as powerful as the DSX-3 receiver, the control unit is rated at 50 watts per channel at 4 ohms. It features the same wireless connectivity and streaming features as the DSX-3, but is also Integra’s first product to feature DTS Play-Fi multiroom streaming.

The DLB-5 soundbar system sells for $1,200, while the DSX-3 A/V receiver retails for half that price at $600. Both models are available starting today. For more information, see the Integra website.

Hurry! This Samsung 75-inch 4K TV can be yours for only $550 today
The Samsung TU69OT 4K Smart TV on a media cabinet in a living room.

Samsung is one of the best TV brands on the market right now, and if you're looking to pick up a new TV, then going for one is a smart choice, especially if you're already in the Samsung ecosystem. One great option we've found is this massive 75-inch Samsung TU690T that's not only packed with features but also has a nice little discount that will save you a bit of extra cash. While it usually goes for $580, you can grab it now from Best Buy for just $550, which will save you a tidy $30.

Why you should buy the 75-inch Samsung TU690T
There's a lot to love about the 75-inch Samsung TU690T, least of all being its massive size and the fact that it not only runs at 4K but even has an internal upscaler that will upscale your older content to 4K. That's perfect for those who love to watch older shows and don't want to lose out on quality with a newer, bigger TV. In a similar vein, the support for HDR 10+ means better contrast and image fidelity for your content, and while that won't apply to older upscaled content, it will apply to newer streamed shows and films.
