Yamaha A-S801

Featuring ToP-ART circuits for high audio quality and a particularly stable chassis in addition to the CD Direct Amplification option, this integrated amplifier restores superior musicality and powerful sound. Equipped with sophisticated functions such as a USB DAC, it is compatible with the latest high-resolution audio formats. 100 Watt - 8 Ohm - 20 - 20000 kHz - DHT 0.019% - 2 channels (main channel) ¦ 160 Watt - 4 Ohm - at 1 kHz - DHT 0.7% - 2 channels (main channel).

Yamaha is a Japanese conglomerate operating in many fields, including musical instruments (its primary business), motorcycles, snowmobiles, watercraft, engines, integrated circuits and consumer electronics. It was founded in 1887 by an organ watchmaker, Torakusu Yamaha, but diversified after World War II. It has since become a multinational specializing in audio video for the home.

High Sound Quality Design based on ToP-ART technology

Yamaha-designed technology called Top-ART features a Directly Balanced Design input/output layout, with left and right channels arranged in a straight, symmetrical fashion for the highest possible sound quality. In addition, ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) technology is an essential element for damping and chassis rigidity. All these Yamaha innovations contribute to offering an amplifier of exceptional musicality.

CD Direct Amplification and Pure Direct Mode

Thanks to a direct connection with the CD input, Direct CD Amplification maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio on the CD input. Activate Pure Direct mode so that the audio signal ignores the bass, treble and balance control circuits. It improves sound quality while maintaining its power. Shortening the signal route improves the purity of the sound, in order to restore the slightest musical nuances
