[Electronics-Talk] help assessing the market for accessible stereo receiver

[david hertweck]

I got a Yamaha amp recently.  The amp itself is not very accessible it has 
an input select nob and surround select nob with no set locations for a 
given input it just displays the selected input on the screen, zone select 
is also on the screen.  However once this amp is connected to your Wi-Fi via 
wireless or a direct cable the Yamaha I phone makes the amp completely 
accessible using voice over.  More over you can control the amp from any 
location in your Wi-Fi network.
This amp supports many audio streaming formats as well as many direct 
inputs.  It also supports many online streaming services.
I use the amp exclusively through the app.
The only feature I have not been able to access through the app is the room 
tuning modes.  Unless you have some serious speakers in a surround 
environment you will not need this  function.  This is also a function you 
use only once anyway.

You can download the app for free and if you do not have a Yamaha unit it 
can run in a demo mode.


hope this helps.

alas my old trusty pioneer receiver has reached end of life.

So, I am looking for suggestions on accessible hi fi gear.
Not in to home theater yet.  But have an apple tv, and may get a blue ray
player.
Still have an old zenith vhs hi fi vcr, and a real live cassette deck and
turn table.

What is the sens of the group on accessiblel receeivers?
