Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A2080 review

And if the digital power of the device is based on the most modern solutions - in this model in the DAC section, ESS SABER Premier ES9007S chips with parameters of 32 bits / 384 kHz are used, then the power amplifier is built in accordance with the classical ideas that a high-quality transistor should look and work apparatus.
