Comparing Yamaha A-S301 vs Denon PMA-800NE you should look at their power output per channel. Yamaha has 60/8 while Denon boasts 50/8 W/Ohm. Yamaha A-S301 received a fairly strict design. The aluminum case with a massive front panel has a thoughtful passive cooling system and a functional control panel. Large ergonomic controls for volume, balance, timbre and bass contribute to a quick and convenient change in the operating parameters of the device. Also on the front panel are an audio output, a mode switch with yellow indicators and a separate Pure Direct button that activates the shortest path of the signal path.
