Pure Direct immersion
Experience pure analog audio bliss with Yamaha's Pure Direct feature, eliminating digital distractions for unparalleled clarity and richness. By simply pressing a button, immerse yourself in a realm where the noise of digital audio output fades away, leaving behind only the purest sound from the analog output.
Meticulous interior design
Crafted with precision, Yamaha's interior layout isolates components to eliminate electromagnetic interference, ensuring balance and stability. Yamaha technicians have dedicated a significant amount of time and effort to design the layout of parts and circuit boards, resulting in a configuration that greatly enhances sound quality. With individually isolated power supplies for various sections, including the motor drive, display, and USB, as well as separate digital and analog sections, the design minimises electromagnetic interference between components.
Optimised signal paths
Short, meticulously crafted signal paths minimise interference, preserving the integrity of your music. Thanks to the highly logical and symmetrical internal layout of parts and circuit boards, signal paths on each board are kept as short as possible. This deliberate design choice minimizes the chance of signal loss or interference, ensuring that your music is reproduced faithfully without any distortions.
High-performance D/A conversion
Harnessing a 192 kHz/24-bit DAC, the high-performance D/A conversion system takes full advantage of Yamaha's refined digital technology. This ensures excellent conversion precision, as well as an impressive signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range. With a D/A converter at the core, your music is reproduced with stunning clarity and fidelity, capturing every nuance and detail of the original recording.
Laser pickup floating mechanism
The laser pickup floats gracefully on its mechanism, untouched by vibration, ensuring delicate operation and unwavering performance. By isolating the laser pickup on a floating mechanism, we prevent external vibrations from affecting its operation, guaranteeing consistent playback even in less-than-ideal conditions.
Intelligent digital servo
An intelligent digital servo goes beyond conventional tracking mechanisms, effortlessly compensating for errors caused by warped discs or dust. By employing a dependable DSP (Digital Signal Processor) exclusive for CDs, Yamaha's system monitors the signal and adjusts pickup tracking, focus, and spindle motor speed to compensate for any issues. This ensures smooth playback without interruptions, even when faced with challenging conditions.
Versatile music enjoyment
With the USB port on the front panel, you can easily enjoy high-quality sound from a variety of digital music files. Whether it's MP3, WMA, LPCM, AAC, or FLAC formats, this CD player supports them all, allowing you to enjoy your favourite music with exceptional clarity and fidelity. Additionally, you can play files recorded on CD-R/RW discs, giving you even more options to explore and enjoy your music collection.
