Putty Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 GeeZUS......I need this! http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/receivers/yamaha-rx-z11-first-look/RXZ11back.jpg http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/receivers/yamaha-rx-z11-first-look/dsp-z11.jpg Yamaha has finally announced its new flagship receiver. The RX-Z11 is a 11.2 powerhouse that breaks all of boundaries of former Yamaha receivers and steps up to present more advanced features than anything else they have delivered to date. Combining amp assignability, raw power and networking features, the new flagship product aims to take on the role of central AV hub in the consumer home. From the look of the back panel this is one impressive beast of burden. * 11.2 surround system * 140W x 7 (main channels) * 50W x 4 (height presence channels) * HDMI 1.3a supports native Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio * 10-bit and 12-bit per channel Deep Color & xvYCC * 120Hz and 24Hz refresh rates with auto lip-sync * 5 HDMI inputs (1 on front panel), 2 HDMI outputs * Analog to HDMI 1080p upscaling * HDMI Audio upconversion (takes analogue or digital audio and video and outputs over HDMI * Network playback of music (MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC files) stored on a PC or NAS drive * Internet radio with MP3 support * Functions as optional MusicCAST client * Two USB inputs (one front, one rear) for playback of MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC audio files from a portable player or USB drive * HD Radio * XM Radio with HD Surround support * Compressed Music Enhancer technology * YPAO with multi-point measurement (up to 8 positions) * 10 listening settings for the main zone, and four for each additional zone * iPod docking station compatible (optional Yamaha YDS-10; SRP $99.95) which functions with receiver remote Possibly most important is that the RX-Z11's features a pre-amplifier mode that can disable the power amplifier circuitry and allow the internal pre-amp to be paired with an external, ultra high-end power amplifier, where the main zone pre-out passes a full 11.2 channels of audio, complete with the RX-Z11's full range of decoding, DSP and speaker configuration output. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/receivers/yamaha-rx-z11-first-look he RX-Z11 will ship in November for an MSRP of $5,499 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 But no VGA in / out for computer aplications? I guess you could use the VGA - R G B cable from Microcenter to hook into the RGB on the back pannel, but for 5500 I would think it would have it built in.......

ImUrOBGYN Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 OMG, way too much stuff. I would be there for days fine tuning this, adjusting that, pluggin this in here, getting pissed off and starting all over again, etc. That just looks like something to throw my OCD over the edge.

I guess you could use the VGA - R G B cable from Microcenter to hook into the RGB on the back pannel, but for 5500 I would think it would have it built in....... DVI to HDMI for PC use. VGA?
