100 vs 110 watts. The A4A is a little better built. Both 7.1. I would not spend the money to upgrade.

Anyone have experience with the Alexa/Amazon Music on this unit?

I have an older Yamaha they claimed worked with Alexa but it's through Music Cast an doesn't actually work properly and just allows unit control nothing else.

Specifically if you can tell Alexa to play say a playlist you have saved on Amazon music and it actually play on the receiver?

Not getting burned with company advertisement BS again!

Any audiophiles want to chime in?

I asked AI and it recommended I upgrade from my current Yamaha RX-A770 to the RX-A4A only if I'm not satisfied. It didn't give me enough info to take the plunge and purchase so wondering if anyone out there can offer first-hand advice....

This seems to be a better receiver and deal than the Onkyo TX-RZ30 for $750, although 7.2. My 10-year old Yamaha RX-V871 died, so I bought the Onkyo but it doesn't sound as boomy in my home theater as the old Yamaha even after Dirac calibration.

Not worth it unless you've been wanting HDMI 2.1 VRR for Xbox / PS5, or must have the more current HDR/Dolby Vision. If neither applies, wait for the next gen

Yes, a ton of experience trying to understand why some models do Alexa better than others, and have different features. So much so I emailed Yamaha support asking (apparently) the right technical questions that they flat out had an engineer call me back.

TLDR is the early models used a MCU to weak/without enough embedded features to fully implement the Alexa firmware.

Anything released newer than 2018 ish will have full alexa support. I have a RX-A2080, RX-A2A and a RX-V4A. All show up to Alexa as full supported audio endpoints, so i can do things like create a room, set the receiver to the preferred music endpoint, so when i simply ask Alexa "Play dance music" the receiver comes on, switches to the "Alexa" source, and starts playing a dance station from Alexa Music.

It still has to "link" to alexa through the musiccast skill, but thats mainly authentication. What were you worried about support wise?

I've been looking to update from my relatively ancient denon AVR-X2300 for a while. However I missed the yearly clearance sale on previous year denon models.

Anyone know if it's worth upgrading to this? I bought the denon originally to scale analog inputs to 4K digital, but I now longer need that feature

It really blows that the receiver's output display doesn't work in 4K mode with a 4K TV...that feature was reserved for the X3300+ models and all models that came out the year after)

I'm in the same boat for 120hz, however the A6A has the better DAC.... hmm
