Yamaha RX-A1050 review

Yamaha RX-A1050 is capable of developing a sound power of 110 W/channel at 8 Ohm. The device is built on high-power DACs Saber ES9006A. For good video playbacks are Dolby Atmos and DTS: X technologies. The built-in CINEMA DSP 3D can expand the effect of presence with front speakers. To calibrate the sound to the acoustics of any room, the YPAO is used. Wireless interfaces are in the receiver Wi-Fi, AirPlay and Bluetooth. However, there is no support for the Apple Lossless format, which is regarded as a drawback of this model in the Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1080 vs Yamaha RX-A1050 comparison.
