Hi, I have the ability to connect my amp via XLR balanced inputs. Do these make a difference. I have read a number of articles and the school of thought is the benefit is negligible, if any.

I have owned both brands , although not the same models as per the subject. Can easily say from a quality perspective the Yamaha is superior.

I see a large price disparity between Yamaha and Denon AVR's. For example the Yamaha 2060 (9 channel) is priced at +- R32k and Denon 6200 (also 9 channel) is +- R50k. Is the Denon really worth the extra ?.

I bought a Rotel RA1570 about 3 months ago. The store did not have a demo unit and ended up buying it anyway. Was not impressed. Sound to me (subjective) , was not full and warm. Bought a Cambridge audio CXA60 subsequently, which is only rated at 60 watts into 8 ohms or 90 in 4 ohms. The...

Hi, The problem is that when using Apple Music, you can stream it directly from say iPhone to Airplay device. It will only show in your iTunes library and will give you the ability to play it via the Cambridge app to the magic streamer 6 if it is downloaded to your iTunes library. The Airplay...

Hi, Is anyone aware of 4K players being available locally yet , if so where? The UK has had a number of models available for a few months already?

Hi, i currently have a Cambridge Audio Magic Streamer 6 which i use as source, (library is stored on media server.)  It does not have apple play support and I am looking to upgrade. Can anyone give me advise on choices. I am considering the newer Cambridge CXN , which I understand is basically...

Very happy with the Cambridge amp, now just need to get rid of a 2 month old Rotel RA1570. Let me know if anyone is interested. I am happy to cut my losses and move on.

This is not great. Does anyone know if i am missing anything by not having Dolby X. How does it compare to Atmos ? I know source material for Dolby X is still scarce. Bought Blu Ray of Jason Bourne, which I think is the 1st locally released Blu Ray with Dolby X encoding. Strangely the cover...

Hi, I have a Denon AVR X5200W with a 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup. Both the lower version the X4200W and larger x7200W have Dolby X updates via firmware. I can't find a firmware update for the  X5200. When i run update it says nothing available. I anyone aware why no Dolby X update for this model...

Correction. I have a Rotel 1570, not 1520 as stated. I never auditioned the Denon. On auditioning the Cambridge I immediately loved the sound. Also with the Cambridge streamer i have it seemed to be the perfect combo. Must say I have a Denon AVR5200W surround system and am totally satisfied, but...

Could not bear it anymore. Bought Cambridge Audio CAX60 yesterday. Less power than the Hotel but sounds 100% better. Sounds are dynamic and full bodied with more than enough power for my needs. Now just to get rid of a month old Rotel that I no longer want.

Hi All, New to the forum and need some guidance. Just bought Rotel RA1520 amp. Have monitor audio Silver 8 floor standers and silver 2 bookshelf speakers. Disappointed by sound , expected fuller sound. Source is Cambridge Audio Magic 6 Streamer. Not sure what to do. Retailer prepared to swop...
