Yamaha BD-A1060 Front and Remote

Yamaha introduces the Aventage BD-A1060 Blu-ray Disc player. It combines the latest advances in engineering, design and performance with innovative features like 4K Ultra HD video upscaling plus CD and Pure Direct audio modes. It promises to play every disc format from CD to SACD and has high-end components inside.

Fresh off from reviewing Yamaha’s new R-S202 Stereo Receiver, I was given the opportunity to check out their latest universal BD player that has a couple of unique features. The most notable one is CD mode which actually spins the disc at a lower RPM so that fewer reading errors are introduced. It also turns off the video section of the player for a purer path to musical nirvana. A pair of balanced outputs offer the highest-quality connection to the processor or amplifier of your choice, too. This player is built to please audiophiles!

My full review of the BD-A1060 will come out shortly, and it looks to have few surprises in store. Having only one HDMI output proved a bit of a hindrance, but discovering that it can also play DVD-A (not listed) was a pleasant surprise. I will be making some direct comparisons to the current “King of the Hill” in this price range, the Oppo BDP-103.
