Onkyo Icon P-80 Network Preamplifier
Onkyo P-80: The Control Center of an Icon Series System
The Onkyo P-80 Network Preamplifier combines a preamp, a phono stage, a DAC and a network streamer in one Icon Series chassis. It sends the result to your power amplifier over balanced XLR or RCA.
It has two subwoofer outputs, Dirac Live room correction and a headphone jack. It comes in Black or Silver.
A Phono Stage for MM and MC
A dedicated phono input works with moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, selected with a rear switch. Onkyo uses a discrete circuit for the MC gain stage and applies its DIDRC circuit to the phono amplifier.
A 32-Bit DAC With DIDRC
Digital sources run through a 32-bit/768 kHz stereo DAC. Onkyo's patented DIDRC circuit sits in the DAC's analog filter and is designed to make digital sources sound as natural as records.
The P-80 has no cooling fan. An aluminum heat sink, aluminum side panels and a steel top panel help control vibration.
Dirac Live and Two Subwoofer Outputs
Dirac Live room correction is built in, and a setup microphone is included. The full version and Dirac Live Bass Control are available as separate licenses.
Two subwoofer outputs let you add up to two powered subwoofers. Fidelity IQ adjusts tonal balance automatically as you change the volume.
How the P-80 Fits Your System
The P-80 needs a power amplifier, such as Onkyo's M-80. Connect them with balanced XLR or RCA cables, and use the 12V trigger output to switch a compatible amplifier on and off.
Sources connect to three RCA inputs, the phono input, HDMI ARC for your TV, and coaxial and optical inputs. A USB port plays music files from a storage drive.
It streams over Wi-Fi or Ethernet with Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Amazon Music, TuneIn, AirPlay 2 and Chromecast. It is Roon Ready, and the Onkyo Controller app runs it from your phone.
What it will not do: it has no built-in power amplifier, so it cannot drive speakers by itself. It has no balanced XLR inputs, and its USB port does not accept a computer.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Jeff Wheaton reviewed the P-80 with Onkyo's M-80 power amplifier for Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity (October 2026). On the phono stage, he wrote: "The phono stage in the MC mode was very competent, and surprisingly, it is included at no extra charge for such a high-quality component."
On the pair's sound: "The P-80 and M-80 defied being in a category, instead hugging the neutral, center ground of being musically natural."
Who Is This Preamplifier Best For?
- Separates builders — pair it with the power amplifier of your choice over XLR or RCA.
- Vinyl listeners — the phono stage handles both MM and MC cartridges.
- Streamers — Roon Ready, AirPlay 2, Chromecast and the major Connect services are built in.
- Bass lovers — two subwoofer outputs and Dirac Live help integrate subs with your room.
- Not for — anyone who wants one box with built-in amplification; choose an integrated amplifier instead.
How Does It Connect to Your System?
- Connect the XLR or RCA pre-outs to your power amplifier, and any subwoofers to the subwoofer outputs.
- Plug in your sources: turntable to phono, other analog gear to the RCA inputs, and your TV to HDMI ARC.
- Join it to your network by Wi-Fi or Ethernet, then set it up in the Onkyo Controller app.
- Plug the included microphone into the setup-mic jack and run Dirac Live room correction.
The P-80 comes in Black or Silver.
Pairs Well With
Complete your separates system:
- Stereo power amplifiers — the P-80 needs one to drive your speakers.
- Turntables — plug straight into the MM/MC phono input.
- Subwoofers — connect up to two.
- Interconnect cables — XLR or RCA to your amplifier.
