For just $1658.39, down from its list price of $1999.95, this lands below its 30-day average of $1981.23 and the 90-day norm of $1898.46. Note that the receiver has traded lower before, dipping to $999.95 at its historical floor, so the current cut is solid rather than a record.

If you have been holding out for the absolute bottom, that earlier low required significant patience.

What You're Getting

The R-N1000A runs on an ESS SABRE ES9080Q Ultra DAC for clean signal-to-noise performance, and the USB DAC input handles DSD 11.2 MHz native and 384 kHz PCM playback. YPAO-R.S.C.

room correction plus precision EQ tunes the sound to your space, while the built-in phono input keeps your vinyl in rotation. HDMI connectivity lets you fold the receiver into a TV-based setup, and MusicCast streams high-res audio over your network.

Who This Is For

This is aimed at stereo purists who want a single component to drive two channels, handle streaming, play records, and connect to a TV without juggling separate DACs and preamps. Vinyl collectors and high-res streamers get the most value here.

If you only need a basic A/V receiver for a surround system, this two-channel unit is more than you require.

Final Verdict

The ESS DAC, HDMI, and phono stage in one box justify the $1658.39 for anyone consolidating a hi-fi setup around a single network receiver. It is a fair discount off list, though bargain hunters who caught the $999.95 low may prefer to wait.
