Outstanding Processor

Reviewed in the United States on 8 May 2019

Verified Purchase

I purchased my Yammy CX-A5200 through Amazon. I am using it to replace my Yamaha CX-A5100 which I gave to my son. I am delighted with the purchase. The AI, about which I was skeptical, adds a significant dimension to the sound fields. The sound is deeper and more vivid than the 5100. Dialogue is clearer, cleaner and more pronounced without overwhelming any musical accompaniment. I am running an ATI 3000 amp and B&W 802 Nautilus mains. Also, I use an Oppo 205. I listen to a lot of music through the Oppo and the 5200 really does it credit, improving depth, precision and stage as I hoped and expected. It is not Imax enhanced but there is not a lot of Imax enhanced offerings, so until we have the start of a library of Imax enhanced DVDs, I am not missing anything. Yamaha announced that it will provide a firmware upgrade to eARC to which I look forward--the sooner the better Yamaha. I have heard it said that the 5200 doesn't offer much more than we got from the 5100. I don't agree. Listen to these and let your ears tell the difference.

Good but not great

I upgraded from the Yamaha rxa3050 and although it improved my music quality I must admit that it wasn't a night and day difference. Looking back I think I should have just used an external amplifier along with my rxa 3050 and archived close to the same quality of music as I am now experiencing with this processor.
Yes it has improved my music but I think it's more because of the amp rather than the processor but it is a great piece of equipment and I am enjoying it. Overall, I am happy with it. The main problem with this processor is how inferior the surround stage is especially for movies. The ambient or background sound effects is so lacking that I can hardly recommend it for home theater. For music however it does a fine job as long as you don't play 2 channels stereo. I like to music cast and the ease of use. A good processor but far from great. Yamaha customer SUPPORT is almost always bad as it gets. One bright spot; Yamaha makes some of the most durable products.

Perfect for using your own amplifiers or feeding a pro audio system with XLR inputs

Reviewed in the United States on 12 January 2020

Excellent sound quality and build quality! This did exactly what I needed . My home theater is a re purposed PA system with discreet amplifiers. I needed something to take HDMI from a Fire TV and a Blu Ray player and decode the audio to play through the PA. Also I needed a single source volume control. This does this flawlessly. The XLR outputs have enough signal to easily drive the PA amplifiers with plenty of dynamic range. The network audio and Bluetooth were nice extras too. The YPAO room setup mic helps to get the initial parameters like the speaker distances , but it still requires a little bit of fine tuning. It's well worth taking the time to go through it manually after it takes the measurements to get it just right. Another great feature for my use case, was the Audio 4 input, is a stereo pair of XLR inputs. This is capable of taking input from a +4db source like a mixing board without overloading. There is a 6db PAD feature as well just in case. I feed the pre-amp with a mixing board to play instruments and keyboard through when it's not doing Home Theater duty. This pre-amp seemed to be the best price/performance right on the sweet spot. There are much more expensive ones available, but this one does the job excellently. There are quite a lot of Youtube reviews of this pre-amp and I strongly suggest taking a look at them.

If you’re looking for Alexa connectivity... RUN

Reviewed in the United States on 17 June 2020

If you’re looking to use this without Alexa, or just in a basic function, it’s a great sounding pre processor that’s offers a lot of channels.

If you want to connect it to any sort of smart home, especially via Alexa... RUN. The MusicCast app and connectivity is one of the worst implementations of smart technology I’ve seen. It simply stops working randomly, sometimes during mid song and you basically have to delete everything and add it all back again. This happens probably 2-3 times per week.

Seriously, it’s horrendous and the PMs and devs of Yamaha should be embarrassed to release a product that simply doesn’t work. If Yamaha doesn’t come out with an upgrade soon, I’ll be selling this. For the cost, it shouldn’t feel like an amateur coded the smart integration.

Awesome

Awesome!! I had a Yamaha Receiver before but didn’t realize how much the sound would improve by separating processor from power amp.
