Very good HC and Hi-Fi amp. Compared to my old model (VSX-930), it's night and day. In HC, the sound is very well distributed in Dolby Surround 7.1 even when the original soundtrack is not transmitted in 7.1. Manages to drive Aria 948s which are reputed to be very difficult, but I still added an MCX-2 power amp. The whole thing works wonderfully. Listening to streaming music works very well and the DAC decodes DSD or 24/192 PCM without any problems. The only thing missing is built-in QOBUZ, but I use Qobuz+Audirvana on my laptop in PnP and it works great. Only question, why are the remote controls no longer backlit? What a pity... The only negative point is that I don't find the MCACC calibration effective with the power amp (reduces the level of all the speakers, so you lose dynamics), so I did the calibration myself by listening to THX and Dolby teasers... it works quite well. The sound in both HC and Hi-Fi is really excellent for an amp at this price.

Très bon ampli HC et Hifi. Par rapport à mon ancien modèle (VSX-930) c'est le jour et la nuit. En HC, le son est très bien réparti en Dolby Surround 7.1 même quand la bande sonore d'origine n'est pas transmise en 7.1.
Arrive à driver des Aria 948 réputées très difficiles mais j'y ai quand même ajouté un ampli de puissance MCX-2.
L'ensemble fonctionne à merveille.
L'écoute de musique en streaming fonctionne très bien et le DAC décode sans problème les DSD ou PCM 24/192. Il manque juste QOBUZ en built in mais j'utilise Qobuz+Audirvana sur mon laptop en PnP et ça marche très bien.
Seule question, pourquoi les télécommandes ne sont plus rétroéclairées ? Uel dommage…
Seul point négatif, je ne trouve pas la calibrattion MCACC performante avec l'ampli de puissance (réduit le niveau de toutes les enceintes, du coup on perd en dynamique), du coup j'ai fait moi-même la calibration en écoutant des teaser THX et Dolby…ça marche plutôt bien.
Le son autant en HC et Hifi est vraiment excellent pour un ampli à ce prix.
