What should I check when buying a used Yamaha Rio3224-D2 or Rio1608-D2?
Confirm which model you are buying, since the Rio3224-D2 and Rio1608-D2 differ in channel count, physical size and power draw (120W versus 72W). Check that both power supplies are functioning and that primary and secondary Dante ports are operational. The display and local gain controls are worth testing.
