Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A2080 review

The 9.2-channel AVENTAGE Series delivers superior 3D sound field reproduction and the latest Surround: AI features. It boasts 140 watts per channel (8 ohms) of output power. The studied Yamaha RX-A2080 model is positioned lower than the top model RX-A3080, the main differences are: output power, lack of XLR inputs and outputs, DAC ESS SABER Premier ES9007S capable of processing 384 kHz / 32 bits and preamplifier output calculated on 7.2 channels rather than 11.2, as in the RX-A3080. Like all AV-receivers of the company, Yamaha RX-A2080 has a balanced approach to the design of both digital and analog parts. The device is equipped with an Ethernet RJ-45 port, or you can do without wires - there is a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi adapter on board.
