Just bought this amp in silver today, I also got some bowers and Wilkins 606s3 with the stands. I love the convenience of streaming music and this will take over from my Naim muso which is amazing but I missed having true stereo.

Great review of this amazing amp/receiver. Thank you for your time and efforts to share this with us all.

woot!

Great in depth analysis of the amp. About to snatch one up and very curious to see if I’ll like the results from YPAO.

It’s a very good receiver but you need a pre out amp added to this and there is no tape loop for a high end Tascam cassette deck which I wanted to add to this. Yamaha should’ve included that given the price point. They don’t typically. I use an Emotiva basX a7 and switched to a crown for now. Nice review thank you

Very, very well explained. I am torn between the Marantz model 40n and the Yamaha R-N1000a. Thanks.

and... please tell me about it, Which one did you end up with?

Thanks, this was a good review. I have the N-800A in a small room with tower speakers and the room correction is an absolute must have. Not many stereo amps have room correction, but if you put speakers in a less than optimal room (which is probably most people) it really is beneficial and improves the speakers.. I really could not use an amp without it, even though the room is sound treated. I also like how easy and fast YPAO is to use. Music cast is also great, much better than Denon's app or Bluesound app (which I both have in another room)

I just ordered mine waiting for it to come. Glad to hear you like the amp. I connecting bookshelfs and a SVS sub. Is there any way to adjust the crossover for the sub on the amp? Any way any response would be great.

Nice review. Interesting to hear about how great the app is since I don't use it much. (Though I learned some helpful things in this video, so that might change.) I've been very happy with my R-N800A. Unlike most professional reviewers and dedicated audiophiles, my very listening area is very compromised, and rhe YPAO is very helpful.

I think once you make some tweaks to it, it's much better. The default setting wasn't for me, that's all. Enabling the special EQ feature in the app to enhance bass + treble at low volumes is a great touch.

@GadgetryTech do you need to use the app for this or can it also be done on the amp itself? Just curious if this amp is app dependent.

I have ax592 from the 90's. The power amp looks very similar. It even has the foam strips on the heat sinks. Probably because they could ring without the strips.

Great point! I never thought about the ringing effect tbh. I feel silly now. I do love the look though. I'm using it for listening to some music as I type this.

Would love to have the features of the Denon DRA-900H in a Yamaha Stereo Receiver.

I own this amplifier. Great machine, but I hate operating the tuner. The display is so small and shows only one thing at the same time. Too bad. It's hard to see/know whether you're using analogue, DAB or NET radio stations.

Perhaps a bit unusual question: Would it be possible to connect Mojo 2 to this device and bypass its internal DAC but still keep the amp power? I just need more power and streamer for my Kef R3 meta speakers but want to keep Mojo 2 DAC in the loop.

Could you compare R-N803D and R-N800A and than R-N800A and R-N1000A? Price of 1000A is higer than 800A but is this good option to pay more for 1000A?

Can you stream Tidal in high res using wifi connection on this amp?

I'm torn between this model and the R-N1000A. Right now, the R-N800A is on sale for $899 and the R-N1000A is on sale for $1,499. I don't really want/need HDMI so it really boils down to the claim that the more expensive unit has "better/audio grade" components vs. the lower priced one. How much difference does that make???? Does it sound any different? At this point, I'm willing to go with the R-N800A and add an external amp in the future which would likely make this a non-issue. Thoughts? Thanks for the great video!!!!

Do you know how many watts on 4 ohms ?

What if I’m old and tech challenged??? Not sure if I should get the network N800 and learn to use some of this new tech or go with the integrated AS801(save $150)and just play my CDs and vinyl.

If you can post a comment on youtube then I guess you can take a couple days to learn how to use this amp. But I guess that's only worth it if you're gonna make use of some of the streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, etc. If you're gonna stick to only your collection of CDs and vinyl then I guess 801 is a good choice as well.

Wondering what people would think about this vs a A-S701 with a Wiim streamer?

Yamaha R-N800A vs Cambridge CXA81 which one is better in terms of sound ??

I have the R-N800A and CXA80 now , so I think I can answer your question. Before I decided to keep the much cheaper used CXA80, I had the CXA81 and tested both amps side by side, and they sounded pretty much identical. But strangely the CXA80 has tone control knobs which I need for my B&W speakers, I decided to keep the CXA80 instead. In short, both R-N800A and CXA80/81 are powerful amps, They can power my 4ohm Martin Logan towers(60XTI and Motion 40i) without any issues at all. You can't go wrong with either amp, but I prefer the Yamaha since it pushes out the bass from my speakers slightly more. The tone control does work on the CXA80, but the changes in sound is not as noticeable as the Yamaha. IN short, get whichever you pay less for. If you can find a CXA80 for around $500-600 like mine, I would skip the Yamaha all day especiailly if you are using the amp for bookshelf speakers. Hope that helps

I listened to both. The Yamaha is a little bit brighter and strict, more detailed sound. The Cambridge is kinda natural. I preferred the Yamaha amp and bought it. Also, it depends on the acoustic you have. I always recommend listening by your ears and don't look at advice in internet
