Yamaha has just released the New Yamaha RN602 Network Receiver with even more digital features than the Yamaha RN500 -
R-N602 - Stereo Receivers - Yamaha - UK and Ireland
Truly an amp for the Modern Age.
It still has the same 80w/ch but adds Multi-Casting (Yamaha Music-Casting), Bluetooth, DSD (5.6Mhz, SACD file) support, DLNA, Airplay, USB-Media Port, and the very nice feature of WIRELESS Networking.
It has expanded its one-button access to Streaming services -
- vTuner
- Pandora
- Rhapsody
- Sirius XM
- Spotify
- Napster
- Juke
Right now the only place I could find that has the amp, or is at least advertising the amp, is Audio Affair -
Yamaha RN602 Network Receiver - £499 -
Yamaha R-N602 Network Receiver + MusicCast
Remember that the original Yamaha RN500 started at £499 and has gradually worked its way down to £310.
So, much the better for us. At £310, the Yamaha RN500 is a bargain, but I have no doubt that the Yamaha RN602 is worth the £499 price tag.
I'm not selling anything. While I wouldn't rate Yamaha amps as the best in the world, equally they do not cost the world. They are high-value high-quality and a good choice for people who are trying to maximize the money they spend.
Just passing it along.
