Product Details


The Yamaha A-S801 Integrated Amplifier in Black combines advanced digital-to-analog conversion with high-fidelity analog amplification to deliver an exceptional audio experience. Powered by ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) circuitry and featuring Pure Direct and CD Direct modes, it minimizes distortion for crystal-clear sound. Equipped with a 32-bit ESS Sabre Premier DAC supporting native DSD and high-resolution PCM audio, the A-S801 offers versatile digital and analog connectivity, including USB, optical, and coaxial inputs. Dual speaker outputs and a dedicated subwoofer terminal provide flexible system expansion. Its robust chassis with Anti-Resonance Technology and sleek black brushed aluminum front panel make it a refined centerpiece for any audiophile setup.

Key Features:

  • 120W per Channel RMS Power at 6 Ohms
  • 32-Bit ESS Sabre Premier Audio DAC with Native DSD (2.8 & 5.6 MHz) and PCM (384 kHz / 32-bit) Support
  • USB, Optical, and Coaxial Digital Inputs
  • Dual Stereo Speaker Outputs: A, B, or A+B Selection
  • Pure Direct and CD Direct Modes for Highest Sound Purity
  • Continuously Variable Loudness Control
  • Gold-Plated Speaker and Input Terminals
  • Reinforced Chassis with Anti-Resonance Technology for Vibration Reduction
  • Phono MM Input for Turntable Connection
  • Subwoofer Output for Enhanced Bass Response
  • Energy Efficient Auto Power Standby

Features:

Engineered with Yamaha's renowned ToP-ART design, the A-S801 achieves superior audio purity by organizing left and right channels in a symmetrical layout to reduce noise and distortion. Its chassis features a double bottom plate with a 1mm iron layer, an ART base, and a solid center bar to minimize vibrations. The amplifier uses premium components like a custom power transformer, block capacitors, and direct signal path relays to ensure outstanding audio performance. The advanced USB DAC supports native DSD and high-resolution PCM files, employing a low-jitter Yamaha-developed USB driver for pristine playback quality. The Pure Direct and CD Direct modes allow the signal to bypass non-essential circuitry, preserving the original sound. The analog loudness control adjusts frequency balance to maintain tonal richness at any listening volume. Gold-plated terminals ensure optimal signal integrity, while dual speaker outputs provide multi-room or multi-speaker flexibility. The included remote and elegant black brushed aluminum design offer convenience and style.
