I bought one this month and now you reviewed it 😒

First of it sounds good

Why you only give it 4 for feature i don't know, it doesn't have Chromecast and hdmi, is that enough to give it 4 instead of 5

Smooth sound, neutral bass,midrange, clear highs, can play loud, mine is with an upgraded power cable and rubber feet under the stock feet, lots of features, adjust gain from each input initial volume,max volume (super if you have small speakers that can't handle 100 watt or you don't want your kids to play to loud)

Phono stage could be improved, it's there and it works (my tt has a built in phonostage that sounds fine)

Use musiccast to add radio station to your favorits,preset

The manufacturer didn't pay quite enough in advertising. Trust me I've been here decades. This might be the best sounding £1000 amp made since the Cambridge audio CX81. The phono is warm on the Yamaha and quite the opposite of the compressed sound described. It just shows you that you do not need to believe publications that review based on Ad-rev. I salute your purchase. I went CX81 however it does not sound quite as good but I needed HDMI. What Hi-Fis aim is to negate Japan when we all know they are superior.

Thank you for your unbiased comments. I'm starting building my audio system and just purchased the R-N800A because I liked the features and sound; I knew I couldn't be so wrong as this biased review said.
Particularly, I don't care about NAS neither Chromecast.

There is not much difference between the r-n800a and r-n1000a

They should make a r-n900a or r-n1200a an improved r-n1000a and make it cheaper, somewhat between the price of the r-n800a and r-n1000a
