I auditioned TN696 and really impressed with it
Listening to DTS virtualise is so much different to compare with DTS-hd master (  which currently listening )
Only flaw it has one optical input.
Would have been better if it has 2 ...

If using DTS virtualise for 2.1 is like surround sound for HT?

it only do the decode and map it into 2.1 . you will not get the overhead effect or SB effect.

Just brought the TX-NR696, thinking of add on surround wireless speaker to my current 2.1 speaker, any recommendation for the wireless surround speakers?

U mean the Onkyo 696 hv built in bt transmitter for wireless surround connection?
I must had missed that when reading thru the manual!

Sry. Unable to use wireless surround due to no pre-out for the surround to hook on the transmitter.

Should get RZ740/840 if you want to setup wireless speaker.
