Onkyo or Pioneer AV receiver - anyone know of a best of both? (1 Viewer)

[adam2008]

Hi, i want to be able to play my music from itunes (mac) over my home wireless network to an av receiver. I haven't bought an av receiver yet but am thinking either pioneer or onkyo. Pioneer because it has Airplay, or Onkyo because it's regza link compatible (i have a toshiba tv). Is there a way I can get the best of both because I don't want to lose either of these functionalities. Oh and I don't really want to have to get an airport either. Thanks

Which models were you looking at? I personally was debating between the SC-57 and the onkyo 3008/3009 models for quite a few days, I've settled upon the SC-57 due to the fact that it's control application seems far more developed than the onkyo, and it supports airplay. Also, the Class D^3 amps on the Pioneer sold it for me.
