Sony STR-ZA3000ES Specs

Earlier this week, we reported on the Sony STR-ZA3000ES, the newest flagship receiver with 4k input/output, 7.2 surround sound and a 8-gigabit ethernet hub for good measure. Available later this month for $1,699, the STR-ZA3000ES offers almost everything you’d ever want from a receiver, minus a built-in Starbucks and AirPlay. (Come on Sony! Your lower end receivers used to have that last one). Wondering what else you can expect from the ES receiver? After the jump, we have the full Sony STR-ZA3000ES specs.
