JVC AX-Z1010TN - Review (part II)

I am pleased to say that replacing the optical Rx unit on the amp has worked!

Top and bottom covers removed as well as that for the DAC board.

Glad that replacement worked, haven't replaced mine yet but its on the cards since I melted it. BTW was the service manual the rather poor copy that's on the web? I can read my copy but if anyone has a nicer version that would be great.
 
Some good news.
My optical input does work after all - a proper decent toslink to mini toslink optical cable (rather than a cheap cable and an even cheaper adapter) means it now works lovely from my chromecast :)
Thanks @Bourneendboy - best £4 ever spent!!
 
A late bump to this thread.

I’m now enjoying an AX-Z1010tn too. I honestly didn’t expect these to be any good, and I’d planned to listen and then move on. That didn’t exactly go to plan. I love what the amp does and I’m delighted to reduce the box count by removing a separate phono stage and DAC from my rack.

The amp drives my Reference 3a MM De Capo i speakers with such ease. I love it’s large soundstage and flat response.
Its a great amp. The icing on the cake is the DAC and phono stage. The cherry on top is the build and finish. It’s a lovely thing to own.

It’s as good an amp as 99% will ever need.
