[does Yamaha RX-V681 match RP-160M？]

I think that would be a nice combination.

 

If you are going network player and integrated amp(A-S501) for stereo only, then yes.  If you will have a combination setup with the AVR(RV-X681) for music and multichannel movies(5.1, 7.1, etc.), then no need for network player since AVR does networking.

thx thx very much,I have many questions and dont know how to describe with my poor english.

No.1. if we select Digital output（SPDIF or COAXIAL）,Yamaha NP-S303 and V681 does the same thing,is that correct?

 

No.2. if No.1 is correct ，when we plug them to A-S501 with digital signal input ,then S501 do the DAC works,and then output to Speakers,the awsome sound depends on S501,is that correct?

 

No.3. if No2 is correct,can we replace the Network player （S303 or V681）with PC，using Digital signal（SPDIF or COAXIAL）output to S501，and then output to Speakers,does the sound close to No.2?

 

No.4 if we select Analog output to S501 using NP-S303,then S303 itself do the DAC works,and if DAC in S303 is better than DAC in S501,is the sound better than No.2 or No.3?

That's going to depend on your listening habits. The S501 is a system designed explicitly for 2 channel listening, which would cater it mainly for music. The V681 is an AVR designed to handle multiple assignments including music and movies.  If you plan on using this mainly for music, I'd suggest the S501, if you want the options for surrounds in the future, go with the V681.

 

Incidentally, if you have not yet purchased an AVR, I would suggest you look at the RX-A (AVENTAGE) Series from Yamaha over the RX-V681 - if a surround sound AVR is your preference.

thx so much！

so many questions come.

Speakers,AVR,Player,which is important?

I decide to buy a new Yamaha network player NP-S303 

 

=======================================================================

S501:

Minimum RMS Output Power (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz)		85 W + 85 W (0.019% THD)
High Dynamic Power/Channel (8/6/4/2 ohms)		130 / 150 / 185 / 220 W
Frequency Response		10 Hz -100 kHz +/- 1.0 dB
Total Harmonic Distortion (CD to Sp Out, 20 Hz-20 kHz)		0.019% (50 W / 8 ohms)
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (CD)		99 dB (input shorted, 200 mV)

 

========================================================================

so,the player NP-S303+ HiFi Reciever A-S501+the speaker RP-160M,does the music  sound awsome?

do I need to buy a Network player or just use the V681?because the NP-S303 cost $382 dollars if I buy it from Amazon japan ,and V681 cost $411 dollars in my city.

and using V681 I can upgrade my HT.

what should I do for the music?

loco1,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

The Yamaha should be a fine match with the RP-160M's especially if you are only powering two speakers.  Also should be fine with multichannel music/movies unless you are trying to fill a huge room with loud volumes.

thx for answer my question，and I want to ask another question，does this AV V681 fit the hifi Reviever ，can it make great sound with RP-160m，do i need to switch to Yamaha A-S501

half time for music ，half time for movie，and this speaker is for music

[does Yamaha RX-V681 match RP-160M？]

Speaker RP-160M:

FREQUENCY RESPONSE	45-25kHz +/- 3dB
SENSITIVITY	96dB @ 2.83V / 1m
POWER HANDLING (CONT/PEAK)	100W/400W
NOMINAL IMPEDANCE	8 Ohms Compatible

=====================================================

Yamaha RX-V681:

AV Receiver        
    Amplifier Section    Channel    7.2
    Rated Output Power (1kHz, 1ch driven)              150 W (4 ohms, 0.9% THD)
    Rated Output Power (20Hz-20kHz, 2ch driven)    90 W (8 ohms, 0.06% THD)
    Maximum Effective Output Power (1kHz, 1ch driven) (JEITA)    150 W (8 ohms, 10% THD)
    Dynamic Power per Channel (8/6/4/2 ohms)       125 / 165 / 190 / 235 W

 

who knows ?

if not match ,how should I change the AV Receiver ?
