$1200 AUD.... I'll take my A-S501 + WiiM Mini which cost $650 total. Integration is perfect since the A-S501's USB power only turns on in Coaxial/Optical mode which means that the WiiM mini only powers on when the amp is in optical mode...\ Not hating though, i love yamaha equipment.... have...

yeah that's big man real big - bit pricey though.

Is this superior or inferior to having a seperate circuit that amplifies the preamp signal? Pretty sure my Cambridge audio azur has a seperate circuit

Go on.... My headphones are the HD 560S from Sennheiser

When it comes to integrated amps and their accompanying headphone amplifiers, which style do you think is the best? Resistor from main speaker output, or when there is a seperate circuit and amplifier powering the headphone jack? The reason that I ask is that I have a yamaha A-S501 which uses...

Have a pair self being driven by a yamaha A-S501 which is being fed by a topping D10S Not a bad set of speakers IMO - great bass.

Although it's no longer my 'main amp', The CA Azur 550a is still doing fine - it's still a great amplifier 12-13 years on TBH. I'm currently rocking a Yamaha A-S501 with the 550A being used in a secondary set up in the garage, rocking 4 speakers instead of 2 lmao.

DOes anybody here have an amazon HD playlist that they'd like to share?

Hmm, not sure that I'd venture that far.... I found that the best sound comes from my macbook pro running apple music into the D10S ... I have REW, UMIK-1, and all so I'll try out room correction and EQing via soundsource.. Yeah I was using an old CA Azur 550A which sounds great - but this...

Nothing - really it stops playing and then you have to reboot the whole system... it's defs not streamlined like an integrated AM/FM receiver.. but that's okay, becauses it jut takes an additional minute of effort to go to the app and choose the station.

Just received my A-S501 which is just a A-S301 on steroids - works well with my Topping D10S and the internal DAC and 5v power supply. Anything that I should be brought to speed on regarding the functionality and modifications that produce the best sound and performance?

And boy does it go well with my Wharfedale Diamond 225s - Apple music and D10S.

Rarewolf, you simply MUST read my findings - https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/confirmed-wiim-mini-is-perfect-for-the-yamaha-a-s501.44006/

So I recently found a brand new Yammy A-S501 for AUD $520 on sale on the Australian Amazon website and couldn't help my self - since the RRP is closer to $1000 with the 'sale' price being 700ish.. Saw that it had a USB power supply on the back along with the coaxial and optical input DAC and...

So let me get this straight, the only advantage that the WiiM Pro has over the Mini is that it has an ethernet port, chromecast, and also a PEQ, where as the Mini only has a GEQ?

So I ended up purchasing a brand new Yamaha A-S501.

Nope, that pop is there for life

Haha that's funny, because that's what I was wondering. I guess that I'll let you know when the A-S501 arrives to my home.

So I've just recently purchased a Yamaha A-S501 which has 5v 0.5 amps D.C. output... Does anybody else have experience with using the 0.5 amp DC out to power the WiiM Mini?

I do own a Fosi Audio BT20A-S and it's definitely OK for what it is, but I'm not sure that I'd purchase this particular 'PRO' model over a Loxjie A30.... Has anybody used it and heard the difference between the 'pro' and 'non-pro'? I sorta put this in the same league as an AAiyima a07 and...
