The Onkyo Muse Y-40 is a compact network streamer and integrated amplifier that puts a complete hi-fi system in one chassis. Its Class D amplifier with MOS FET output drives 150W into 4 ohms (75W into 8 ohms), while a 5.46-inch color LCD displays album art, source information, and settings. Available in Black and Silver, the Y-40 pairs modern streaming with the analog connections vinyl listeners expect.
Why This Model Matters
Onkyo, founded in 1946, built the Muse series to fold high-resolution streaming, wired sources, and an MM phono stage into a single, room-friendly unit. The Y-40 is the entry point to that lineup: it removes the need for a separate streamer, DAC, and turntable preamp, so a pair of speakers and a turntable are all you need to get playing.

Who It's For
The Muse Y-40 suits the listener who wants one tidy box to anchor a two-channel system: someone streaming from their phone, spinning records, and occasionally routing TV sound, all without a rack of separates. It is a strong fit for smaller rooms, first serious systems, and anyone consolidating streaming and vinyl into a single amplifier.
