    Review: Yamaha R-N803 Network Stereo Receiver

    Running YPAO 8 position measurements and 2 channel music in "FLAT" mode with my A2080 AVR is a big improvement IMO. I wonder if the 803 has the same version of YPAO. From advert specs look like it should having RSC and up to 8 position measurements. Are you saying it does not allow up to 8...

    Review: Yamaha R-N803 Network Stereo Receiver

    Seems like you preferred the NAD due to features... Do you prefer the NAD sound to the Yamaha also?

    Yes, Rabbit Hole... And Pandora's box, hence my Avatar. :) About six months ago I started with the intention of buying some Klipsch actvive speakers ~$600-700 and have ended up with about $6K in speakers and audio equipment. :eek: Now my next purchase will be a Dirac capable box as I've been...

    Thanks. I downloaded ASIO and tried it but there's a learning curve how to set the inputs and outputs in REW and was unable to quickly learn it so I reverted to Java with only the L/R settings. I like how it sounds but of course getting bit by the audiophile bug I want to learn more. :)...

    I took a measurement in Pure Direct. Still have the dip between ~ 90 - 100 hz using only the R3's. Seems the subs help fix the ~ 70 hz dip.

    Here's a pic of my listening area. Custom acoustical room treatment. :bigsmile:

    Thanks everyone. I did my first REW measurements. I'm still not completely sure I am enabling and disabling YPAO properly to see before and after, but I believe changing it from FLAT (YPAO active) to THROUGH (YPAO inactive) does in fact disable DSP output during REW sweeps. I'm also unsure...

    Thanks. I know REW is separate from Dirac. My goal with REW is to get more familiar with how the room affects audio and to practice and gain a better understanding of "audiophile" audio. I'm a way off before implementing Dirac so I figured this would educate me and occupy my time until I figure...

    Thanks! Now, what basic settings are most important so I don't blow a tweeter? lol

    Hello all- I just ordered a UMIK-1 and mic stand to eventually use with Dirac via the upcoming Arcam SA30 or possibly the NAD C658. I've also thought about using mini DSP DDRC-24 and separates but still in the beginning phase of this research. This is mainly to get optimal sound in a 2.0 or...
