YAMAHA Aventage - RX - 1050 - 2050 - 3050 - Club

New AV receivers don't generally include DAB. DAB is seldom included and isn't a feature on the increase. I think only Yamaha include it on a couple of their lower end models?

Internet radio generally uses a higher bitrate than that associated with DAB and even the BBC's internet radio stations use a higher bitrate than used for DAB services.

I noticed the Distinguished Member above thought that only the lower models have DAB when there latest models have DAB
 
What do I do now with my old DSP-AX1 ?
 
Owners of the 1050 - would you say this is a better purchase than perhaps a Denon AW-X4200? Can't decide between the two

Really? List them if you believe there to be others :)


As far as I'm aware there's only the slimline RXS601D and RXS710D receivers from Yamaha that includes DAB radio. Even these comes with an option not to include DAB (RXS601 and RXS710).

RX-S601D - AV Receivers/Amplifiers - Yamaha - UK and Ireland

RX-AS710D - AVENTAGE - Yamaha - UK and Ireland


If you want a DAB enabled Yamaha AV receiver then those are the only options you have. I can only guess that you don't know what DAB is and believe DAB to be included on every Yamaha receiver?

Here's a list of all Yamaha's curent products to include DAB:

DAB plus - Yamaha - UK and Ireland

Yes there is only one now but in the next iteration there will be more. Living in Wales to get Radio that is acceptable to listen to you have to use DAB. I have a Sony DAB which was connected to my DSP-Ax1 and now the new AV amp. Also my Merc also has DAB (Option which cost £300) and I have found this far superior to any FM transmission without exception.

No there wont be more. Yamaha have already announced this years models and they don't include DAB. Please name them if you know different?

You should get it out of your head that DAB is something new or that all the manufacturers will be rushing to included it. It has been around snce the 90s, followed by DAB+ in 2007. DAB+ is not backward compatible with older DAB equipment. Only Yamaha include a DAB enabled AV receiver in their line up. DAB isn't going to be included on new AV receivers in place of AM and FM tuners. Also note that internet radio is superior in terms of quality and offers the listener far more station options.

Your probably right about DAB audio quality. Most have only head it thru a small radio..... Not an amp with multiple speakers. Station choice on Internet radio is endless. It really is.
 
Main reason DAB is not included is that manufacturers hate having to make a particular model for a particular market.

The update adds multicast to the AVR, but yes most people will find there is an update as soon as they connect the AVR to the router/internet and turn it on:)

Atmos activated out of the box, been using Atmos and DSU on our demo A3050 for the last few days, so you are all set. Just make sure set the bluray player to right settings, i.e. bitstream sound, and secondary commentary off.
 
Hi all just playing Jupiter ascending with Atmos I have to say I'm very happy with it the amp is well up to controlling it all and sounding very powerful The golden ear 650 in ceiling speakers are amazing and so easy to fit .the amp setup was vert straight forward .Runing it with a oppo bdp-105d and a Panasonic 55 cx802b
