Specifications
In the Box
Pure Yamaha Hi-Fi with Modern Digital Flexibility
The A-S801 is engineered for listeners who want authentic stereo sound with no shortcuts. Yamaha’s symmetrical ToP-ART architecture, anti-resonance chassis design, and premium internal components help preserve musical detail and minimize noise, while the integrated ESS Sabre DAC and USB input open the door to native DSD and ultra-high-resolution PCM playback. Whether your system centers on vinyl, CD, streaming, or computer audio, the A-S801 delivers clean, dynamic, and richly detailed performance.

Core Capability Rows
High-Current Stereo Amplification
The Yamaha A-S801 delivers powerful and refined two-channel amplification with 120 watts per channel at 6 ohms and 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms. Its strong output section gives music weight, control, and energy while preserving the tonal balance and low-noise precision expected from Yamaha’s upper-tier stereo components.
ToP-ART Symmetrical Circuit Design
Yamaha’s ToP-ART architecture organizes the left and right channels in a highly symmetrical layout with a direct, efficient signal path to reduce interference and distortion. This design approach improves imaging, keeps the soundstage stable, and helps the amplifier reproduce music with excellent transparency and realism.
ESS Sabre Premier DAC with Native DSD
The built-in ESS Sabre Premier ES9010K2M DAC gives the A-S801 true high-resolution digital capability. It supports native DSD at 2.8 and 5.6 MHz, plus PCM up to 384 kHz / 32-bit, making it an ideal choice for audiophiles who want computer-audio performance without adding a separate outboard DAC.
Pure Direct and CD Direct Listening Modes
Pure Direct and CD Direct modes bypass non-essential circuitry to preserve the most direct signal path possible. These dedicated listening options help lower noise, reduce coloration, and give the listener a more immediate, natural presentation from high-quality sources.
Built-In Phono MM Stage
For vinyl enthusiasts, the A-S801 includes a dedicated moving-magnet phono input with ground connection. This allows direct turntable integration without requiring an external phono preamp, making it easier to build a clean, elegant stereo system around both analog and digital sources.
Versatile Digital and Analog Connectivity
USB, optical, and coaxial digital inputs complement a broad analog connection set that includes multiple stereo RCA inputs and line outputs. This makes the A-S801 equally well suited to CD players, media streamers, desktop or laptop audio systems, TVs, and traditional hi-fi source components.
Dual Speaker Outputs and Subwoofer Support
The amplifier supports speaker selection for A, B, or A+B playback, giving you flexibility for multi-room listening or multiple speaker setups. A dedicated subwoofer output adds even greater system expansion potential for listeners who want fuller bass without giving up the purity of a stereo amplifier.
Anti-Resonance Chassis Construction
A reinforced chassis with a double-bottom structure, ART base, solid center bar, custom transformer, and carefully selected components helps reduce vibration and maintain signal integrity. The result is a more stable mechanical platform that supports cleaner sound and long-term durability.
