Haven't been there yet, but a friend and his wife bought the place when he left Burr-Brown/Texas Instruments. Seems to be doing very well and it's very popular. I have read a lor of positive reviews.
I'm going to check it out one of these days, and I will let you know. Thanks for the tip.

A2060 should do the trick for you if you don`t need the extra channels (A3060/70). Also you should get much better deal out of it vs. 2017 models.

Funny thing is when A2050 was measured in bench test 2ch, it put better numbers than A3060. o_O Although probably meaningless, but still quite odd as Yamaha says A3060 is more powerfull on paper (150w vs 140w). :rolleyes: Wondering how close would A1060 come.

A2050 vs A3060 @ 0,1% THD:

2ch 8ohm / 177,6w vs. 159w
2ch 4ohm / 251w vs. 228,7w
5ch and 7ch the numbers were about the same.

Do you have bench test results for RX-A1060 ?

I think there will be no noticeable difference. The 9026 pro supposedly offer more design flexibility that Yamaha likely don't need for their applications.

They do cost $0.5 more for the 8 channel chip, or $1 for two of those. Yamaha buys in volume obviously so they probably pay just a touch more, still I respect the fact that they go for the update/upgrade. They could have stay with the 9016S and save a little.

It's funny that a DAP I'm considering could have twice the number of ESS Pro DACs as a receiver I'm considering.

While some DACs can make a difference with a few selected sources, for the cost id rather upgrade the source the majority of the time.
