Yamaha RX-A1080 - Pros & Cons

The 1080 is better in every way
Build quality is excellent
great sound and a great picture
better vibration resistance and enhanced strength
signal-to-noise ratio and up to 120 dB of dynamic range
The receiver delivers the score in a clear and defined manner
Flat works best for most content
well-designed and comprehensive interface
its rich
full-bodied tone throughout the register
also looks better and sounds more entertaining than both
-A1080 looks very neat and tidy
The whole video switching and DSP part is also very strong
presents movie soundtracks very powerful and enveloping
predecessor measured quite well on other sites
aventage RX-1080 is a wonderful solution for all audio needs
It makes everything work in real-time
simplified and better layout
it has been working well
the range of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is amazing
rich
realistic
and breathtaking sound
DTS Neo family with improved flexibility
The device proved itself as a very reliable unit
surprised me with a clear and almost divine sound
can boast with a perfectly working Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

have DSU or DTS Neural
there is no support for expanding the channels to nine by adding an external amp
Yamaha has not included a front HDMI port
good and precise as having real speakers
av receiver is not good enough for music as stereo Amp
no direct USB audio input
YPAO retains its dated and confusing UI
the rubber keys are almost flush with the surface of the remote
sparse instrumentation is both tense and eerie
RX-A1080 is lacking in detail
too lazy to do manual calibration
the audio stream to one or both MusicCast speakers is very short
distortion shot up through the roof
It may not display this or other websites correctly
there is only one DAC which converts digital to analog
ADCs that are not transparent to analog inputs
noise and garbage
The wi-fi will catch the signals from a long range
nothing you will even miss in terms of audio device connections
there is no longer a mass of tiny buttons
Cinema DSP HD3 processing has not been left out
the power supply is heavier
multichannel FLAC
ALAC and WAV do not work
Yamaha makes it a bit more complicated
the functionality has not yet been implemented in their mainstream receivers
it was hard to distinguish the voice and surround noise
cooling system and sound quality
on a high volume the music was overwhelmed with bass

The Yamaha RX-A1080 is the latest addition to the company's AVENTAGE line-up of AV Receivers. It's got Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and MusicCast but is the addition of Intelligent Sound enough of an upgrade?
