Dayton AudioDAX88 8-Source 8-Zone Bridgeable Distributed Audio Matrix Amplifier with Integrated Wi-fi and Mobile App - 75 WPC at 8 Ohms, 180 WPC at 8 Ohms Bridged - 5 Year Warranty

There are numerous wired speakers in rooms throughout my house and I’d been looking for quite a while for an affordable way of distributing multiple audio sources to them.I explored various options for how to do this, and even spoke with a number of manufactures' consultants, including Dayton about my specific setup. I decided to purchase the DAX88 in August 2022 after some delay due to (I’m guessing) supply chain issues in early 2022.The setup was relatively easy. Thankfully, the documentation, illustrations and directions were easy to follow, clear and grammatically accurate.My home audio system is now integrated in a way that allows me to control each audio source and sets of speakers (zones ) independently. The Matrio app provides a decent interface for access and control. Among other available sources, AirPlay in my case, lets me stream from many sources originating on my iPad, iPhone, etc., over my home Wi-Fi. I’ve been tweaking the setup now for a few months and I’m very pleased with the performance.Although not a show stopper, it would be great if some enhancements were made to the Matrio app, including integration with Alexa as well as the ability to name and save custom whole-house configurations.

Flawless so far. Installed in a gut-to-studs renovation and currently running all 6 powered zones in entertaining areas. Solid connectivity with a ton of I/O.Have my living room TV connected via a long optical cable so I can send audio to other rooms, if wanted. Would definitely recommend.

This is not my first receiver but boy the sound it makes. It is really powerful and drives my speakers bridges and unbridled to levels and clarity I have heard only with much more expensive systems. Also the convenience of 8 zones and 8 streams is amazing.I wish it had a built in Bluetooth, and not just a WiFi option. I plugged in an external Bluetooth receiver through RCA plugI wish it would connect every time I want to control it. But alas it is WiFi based( really close to the router) and I need to sometimes hop off and on from a network to get it to connect.I wish Spotify and other apps like YouTube music or amazon music would just play from the device. Like Tune-in does, but unfortunately it still streams from your phone (like Apple play)Other those complaints I love it!

Installed few of these for my customers. Don't have an unhappy customer so far!!!Great quality and great apps (control app and a streaming app)!!Little tech advice, when installing app on iphone, make sure you are on the same wifi network and click "allow network access", or your app will not see the device, then you will need to reinstall it.2nd App "Hi-Fly" allows streaming services directly to device from your phone multiple audio streaming platforms like Amazon Music, Spotify etc (paid subscription mostly).Very cool, 1 device multiple functions!!

I really liked this amp for the way it's setup and the app. It has multiple zones, and multiple inputs for each zone.I'm using a setup which uses ceiling speakers and HT speaker / receiver. I wired my ceiling speakers as zone 1, and my HT setup on zone 2. When I turn on movies, I'll have everything on so I can have at atmos setup without having to change anything. If I didn't purchase this, then I would've went with full Sonos setup. Much more money, for similar setup.

Great sound. The App is well done and makes operation of the amp very simple. I have an issue with connectivity to figure out. My phone loses connection with the amp (wifi). Might be the phone so I'm not going to be critical about the amp, at least not at this point in time. If you are looking for a comprehensive amp that you can install yourself... this is the one.

No android app for wifi install, piece of crap for $1300

Just hooked it up and audio quality is much better than the other amp I returned. Seems to have plenty of inputs and power. App is a little strange. Need two them, one to log onto the unit and another for your audio source. Besides that I would buy again.
