The Onkyo Muse Y-50 is a network streamer and integrated amplifier that combines high-power Class D amplification with a full suite of streaming and wired inputs. Using an Axign-designed Class D stage with MOS FET output, it delivers 250W into 4 ohms (125W into 8 ohms). A 5.46-inch color LCD, Onkyo Room EQ calibration, and an MM/MC phono stage round out a genuinely do-everything hi-fi hub, offered in Black and Silver.
Why This Model Matters
Onkyo, founded in 1946, positions the Y-50 as the flagship of the Muse integrated line. Beyond streaming, it adds a full HDMI section, three line inputs, digital coax and optical, a subwoofer output, and Room EQ, so it can serve as the heart of both a music system and a TV setup without the clutter of separates.
