Factory Amp Wiring Diagram

Took some research to make sure it was compatible, found the right wiring diagram. Installation was easy. Works as advertised. Highly recommended.

Simple install, nice connector fit (not too stiff). Heat sink install diagram out of date, turns out OWC updated the chip layout. Their support team was super responsive and sent a new diagram. Makes sense which chip to affix the heatsink to, and while it hangs off the side of the PCB, everything still fits perfectly under the Mac Pro 2013 outer shell, and temps appear controlled and consistent with the factory SSD. Nice to have the Envoy Pro enclosure included, restoring from that was much faster than the Time Machine backup on my NAS. Day to day operational speed is noticeably improved as well. Unexpected bonus: Boot Camp actually plays nicely with the new drive, despite the 6,1 Mac Pro not having official compatibility. The BC Assistant partitioned the drive with no complaints, and Windows 10 installed and runs fine. However, the outgoing Boot Camp partition on the factory SSD can't boot, but we expected that (error INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE, despite guides on injecting device drivers). So awesome upgrade, with bonus Boot Camp use.

This is a solid integrated amp. I have an RME ADI-2 DAC feeding the CD inputs with the amp set to its CD Direct mode for a straightforward analog signal path. I use the DAC's volume control and leave the Yamaha volume at about 12 o'clock for convenience, with suitable gain for my setup. Since the amp has A and B sets of speaker outputs, and my speakers have a bi-wiring option, I decided to separately feed the speaker's high and low frequency inputs from the amp's A and B outputs. Then, for initial testing of my wiring, I switched A-only or B-only on the amp, to confirm I would hear high-only or low-only sound. That showed my connections were as intended. Then I left the amp switched to feed both A and B. My wiring is nothing fancy, just Monoprice 14-gauge OFC, and this bi-wired hookup is similar to using a single, heavier gauge cable.

I was getting some feedback in my turntable setup and after separating some wires, i realized it was in the wiring connecting my turntable, preamp and amp. I grabbed these because they looked high quality and were a good price. I was not disappointed. As a beginning audiophile, these definitely solved all the feedback problems i had.

Thanks cardioid diagram, I have much less outside sounds and noise.

Everything looks much better now that the wiring is organized.

This worked pretty well right away, only complaint is that the dip switch diagram was less helpful than I would have liked.

Factory made ink is always going to be the best... You might be able to get ink cheaper, but... it's cheaper!!! I'm tired of cheaper printing and now just use factory ink...

it works just like the factory ones!

this is a nice smart unit with good features including active diagram
