| Integrated w/phono but no DAC The Yamaha A-S801 got a great review from 6 moons. I own one and like it. Great value and great sound. But, it has a dac, and does not have a tuner.Over the last few years, yamaha has released other 2 channel models, in addition to the A-S:R-S : T... | |

| Kinki Studio EX-M1 My new EX-M1 has been playing for an hour. At its early infancy, it's already a significant upgrade over the Yamaha AS-801. It's driving and controlling the Bryston speakers (86 db, 4 ohms) with ease - tight, smooth and dynamic. More to share ... | |
| Yamaha A-S801 owners. Did you upgrade? Thanks for your insight, helomech. Very helpful - especially the Rogue class D vs A-S500. I'd love to get the A-S2100, but there are two issues I have to resolve: The 2100 doesn't have a built-in DAC (easy, just $$$), and it's too deep to fit in... | |
