It’s time to retire the old girl.  Our Yamaha DSP-A1 has provided stirling service for over nine years now.  In utilize daily powering our house cinema setup, there are extremely few electronic elements we can believe of that have provided such long service.

So why are we searching for a replacement?  HDMI of course.  The S-Video changing of the Yamaha no longer cuts the mustard in a world of HD games consoles, satellite receivers as well as media centre extenders.  as well as so the search is on as well as we’re trawling with the AV Receiver evaluations at testfreaks.com searching for an response that will take us with the next decade.

We requirement an amp that will offer at least 4 HDMI inputs (PS3, AppleTV, SkyHD & Media Centre PC) as well as preferably two HDMI outputs – one to send to the TV as well as the other for the projector (our aging CRT projector will be next on the listing for replacement).

The DSP-A1 was Yamaha’s flagship a decade back as well as we paid around £1,300 for a demonstrator system at a hifi show.  It appears like our budget plan is going to have to be similar this time around of we want one with double HDMI out.  We may jeopardize on that feature, nevertheless we’ve definitely seen the value in purchasing a high quality product last time.
