A Network Receiver to Rule Them All: 100Wpc Yamaha R-N1000A Built to Audiophile Specifications, Loaded with Connectivity and Sound-First Features

Forget the ring; the Yamaha R-N1000A is one network receiver to rule them all. Built with ToP-ART mechanical structure with symmetrical left/right circuitry layout, high-capacity custom-made transformers, a double-bottom chassis, resin-frame Art Base, gold-plated terminals, anti-resonance feet, and many other superior parts, the 100Wpc R-N1000A is built for those who cherish audiophile sound quality. 

Whether you’re looking to stream, enjoy high-res content, play discs, spin LPs, or dial in a radio station, R-N1000A reproduces music with stellar precision, balance, detail, and dynamics. Compatible with everything from TIDAL and Qobuz to Spotify and Amazon Music HD, and intrinsically linked with other Yamaha MusicCast devices that can provide multi-room audio, it connects with Bluetooth, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and AirPlay. The addition of an HDMI input means you can hook up your TV to enjoy elevated sonics from it, too. 

On the special features side, a trademarked Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) performs high-precision equalization with accuracy of up to 64-bit/192kHz. YPAO R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) works in tandem to actively control the important early reflection sounds, automatically adjusting and optimizing how the sound is heard in your room based on the materials of your walls and your speaker placement. The result: Extraordinary imaging and atmospherics. 

Also on tap: A 32-bit/384kHz ESS SABRE ES9010K2M DAC; a front-panel USB input that supports up to DSD 11.2MHz; a built-in phonostage; and Pure Direct mode that enables music signals to travel the shortest possible route, bypassing the buffer amp and the tone, loudness and balance controls to virtually eliminate signal degradation. Add to that arsenal three pairs of line-level inputs, one coaxial input, two optical inputs, a headphone output, a subwoofer output, and a preamp output for connecting what you want. 

Further consider the sleek looks, beefy knobs, old-school switches, and five-year manufacturer warranty, and the 27.1-pound R-N1000A beckons you to consider a risk-free in-home audition. Stat.
