High-Power Stereo Performance with Analog Warmth and Digital Precision
The A-S801 is designed to bridge the best of classic hi-fi and modern digital audio. Yamaha’s rigid chassis construction, symmetrical ToP-ART layout, and Pure Direct signal path help preserve musical nuance and minimize interference, while the built-in ESS Sabre DAC and USB audio section unlock detailed playback from computers and other digital sources. Add in phono input, dual speaker outputs, and a dedicated subwoofer connection, and the result is a highly versatile integrated amplifier with broad appeal for music-first systems.

Core Capability Rows
Powerful 2-Channel Integrated Amplification
The Yamaha A-S801 delivers 120 watts per channel into 6 ohms and 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, giving it the authority needed to drive a broad range of bookshelf and floorstanding speakers. Its strong dynamic power reserves help maintain energy, impact, and composure across everything from delicate acoustic recordings to demanding orchestral passages and modern bass-heavy mixes.
ToP-ART Circuit Architecture for Clean Signal Flow
Yamaha’s ToP-ART design prioritizes short, direct signal paths and a symmetrical internal layout to reduce interference and preserve audio purity. Combined with premium internal components, this design philosophy helps the A-S801 reproduce music with excellent transparency, low distortion, and more natural stereo imaging.
ESS Sabre Premier DAC with High-Resolution USB Audio
The built-in 32-bit ESS Sabre ES9010K2M DAC brings serious digital performance to the A-S801. Through its USB DAC section, the amplifier supports PCM audio up to 384 kHz / 32-bit and native DSD up to 5.6 MHz, making it an excellent match for high-resolution music libraries, dedicated listening PCs, and advanced digital playback setups.
Pure Direct and CD Direct Listening Modes
Pure Direct and CD Direct modes bypass unnecessary circuitry to shorten the signal path and lower noise, preserving as much musical detail as possible. These dedicated modes appeal to serious listeners who want the most uncolored performance from their chosen source components.
Phono MM Input for Vinyl Playback
Vinyl listeners can connect a moving-magnet turntable directly using the dedicated phono MM input with grounding terminal. This makes the A-S801 especially attractive for music lovers who want one amplifier to serve both analog sources and modern digital playback without compromise.
Flexible Analog and Digital Connectivity
The A-S801 is equipped with five stereo RCA inputs, one phono input, optical and coaxial digital inputs, a subwoofer output, and dual stereo line outputs. This versatile connection set allows the amplifier to anchor systems that include CD players, streamers, turntables, computers, TVs, and external recording or expansion components.
Dual Speaker Outputs and Subwoofer Integration
Gold-plated binding posts support two speaker zones or two separate speaker pairs using A, B, or A+B selection. A dedicated subwoofer output further enhances system flexibility, especially for listeners who want to extend low-frequency response without giving up the elegance of a stereo-focused amplifier.
Reinforced Chassis with Anti-Resonance Construction
A double-bottom plate, solid center bar, custom transformer, and robust cabinet construction help reduce vibration-related coloration and improve overall structural stability. This contributes not only to long-term durability, but also to the composed sonic character expected from Yamaha’s higher-end integrated amplifier range.
