A musical mastermind…
A big step up from the more junior Aventage Receivers. Highlights include being much more powerful, better HDMI switching, having a physically larger chassis and best in class digital to analogue conversion from ESS
The step up model, the RX-A2040 also offers upscaling HDMI into zone 2 from analogue sources, even better sound quality and a thrid audio zone.
Sound Quality
The RX-A1040 is the first in the Aventage range to offer discrete analogue audio outputs, perfect if you would like to use this unit in conjunction with a larger power amplifier.
