6. Amplifier

NAD T 778	Onkyo TX-SR333
9 channel Hybrid Digital Amplifier: NAD T 778 features 9 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 140 W (8 Ω, 1% THD, 2 channel driven) and is able to drive 4 ohm speakers.	5 channel Amplifier: Onkyo TX-SR333 features 5 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 65 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channel driven).

WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology): Onkyo TX-SR333 features Onkyo’s Wide Range Amp Technology (WRAT) circuit layout that prevents phase shifting by pushing the roll-off point higher than the listening-level frequency. Amplifying sound without phase shift creates an uncommonly well-focused and realistic audio image. If phase shift occurs and signal timing is not accurate, then neither is the resulting audio image.
Toroidal Transformer: NAD T 778 has a toroidal transformer which in general costs several times more than a regular C-core transformer and radiates less electromagnetic noise outside its donut shaped core.

7. Speaker Configurations

NAD T 778's and Onkyo TX-SR333's amplifiers can be assigned for different speaker configurations.

Dolby Atmos Configurations: The following speaker configurations are supported for Dolby Atmos:

NAD T 778: 5.2.2, 5.2.4, 7.2.2 with internal amplifier and 7.2.4 with addition of external 2 channel amplifier.

Onkyo TX-SR333: Not supported.

DTS:X Configurations: The following speaker configurations are supported for DTS:X:

NAD T 778: The speaker configurations for DTS:X are the same as for Dolby Atmos - 5.2.2, 5.2.4, 7.2.2 with internal amplifier and 7.2.4 with addition of external 2 channel amplifier.

Onkyo TX-SR333: Not supported.

Configurations without height channels: There are also other speaker configurations available which do not include height channels:

NAD T 778: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.

Onkyo TX-SR333: 5.1 with internal amplifier.

Bi-Amp: NAD T 778 is able to bi-amp up to 2 main channels simultaneously. During bi-amplification two amplifiers are used for one speaker. One amplifier powers the midrange and tweeter section of the speaker and another amplifier powers the low frequency woofers. Each amplifier is less loaded and performs better. In order to use this feature speakers must have 2 pairs of connectors.

8. Immersive Audio Formats

Dolby Atmos

NAD T 778 supports Dolby Atmos.

Dolby Surround Upmixer: NAD T 778 supports Dolby Surround Upmixer. If the content is not mixed in Dolby Atmos then the Dolby surround upmixer will expand the audio to all channels including ceiling speakers. The upmixer has replaced the Dolby Pro Logic II family with improved upmixing algorithms.

DTS:X

NAD T 778 supports DTS:X.

DTS Neural:X: NAD T 778 supports DTS Neural:X which is an advanced upmixer that can take non DTS:X content and upmix it to the DTS:X speaker layout. It has replaced the DTS Neo family with improved flexibility.
DTS Dialog Control: NAD T 778 supports DTS Dialog Control. This function adjusts the dialog levels during playback of the DTS:X stream. It allows you to separately increase the dialog levels in contrast with the background sound and hear dialog easily even under noisy circumstances.

9. HDMI

NAD T 778 comes with 6 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs which work parallelly and output the same signal.

Onkyo TX-SR333 comes with 6 HDMI inputs. It has 1 output.

4K/60Hz Passthrough: On both receivers all inputs pass up to 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 video signal.
BT.2020 Color Space: BT.2020 or Rec. 2020 is a color standard which delivers a wider color gamut compared to Rec. 709. It covers approximately 75% of the total visual spectrum while the Rec. 709 covers only 35% (available on NAD T 778 only).
HDCP 2.2 Copy Protection: NAD T 778 is HDCP 2.2 compliant which is a requirement for 4K/HDR copy-protected content transmission.
3D Ready: Both receivers are able to pass 3D video through HDMI.

HDR (High Dynamic Range)

NAD T 778 supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma.

Onkyo TX-SR333 does not support HDR. High dynamic range video has greater dynamic range than standard dynamic range (SDR) video with brighter whites and deeper blacks. The result is greater contrast and more details in dark and bright areas, better color and depth.

Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC)

NAD T 778 supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) which allows the compatible TV to send audio signal to the a/v receiver through the same HDMI cable which is used to send audio and video signals to the TV. So one HDMI cable is used to transfer audio signal in both directions. New Enhanced ARC will support uncompressed audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio whereas the previous ARC could support only Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS HD, and PCM.

10. Inputs and Outputs

Audio

Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on NAD T 778 with built-in phono stage for connecting the moving magnet cartridge output of the turntable directly to the receiver.
Analog Pre-Outs: NAD T 778 has 11.2 preamplifier outputs which allows you to connect the receiver to the external power amplifier. You may want to use a high quality external amplifier for certain channels, usually for front L/R and center, and use the receiver to power the rest. Also, NAD T 778 has 11 channel processing but has only 9 channel amplifier, so it needs external amplifier connected to the analog pre-outs in order to reach its maximum speaker configuration.
Analog Line Inputs and Outputs: There are 2 pair of line inputs on NAD T 778 and 7 pair of line inputs on Onkyo TX-SR333 for connecting sources with analog outputs. There is also 1 pair of line outputs on Onkyo TX-SR333.
Digital Inputs: 2 optical inputs and 2 coaxial inputs are available on NAD T 778 and 1 optical input and 2 coaxial inputs are available on Onkyo TX-SR333 for digital audio connections.
Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
