A-S2000 Natural Sound Stereo Amplifier
HiFi Began with Yamaha...
Yamaha's involvement with and passion for music goes back more than a century, to when we built our first reed organ in 1887. Now we are the world's leading producer of pianos and other musical instruments, and are involved with music in many other ways as well. We manufacture professional recording equipment, we design concert halls and we assist artists at concerts with set up and sound tuning. This knowledge and experience benefits our production of audio components in many ways. We introduced our first HiFi (High Fidelity) turntable in 1954, becoming the first company to actually use the term “HiFi.” Thereafter we were one of the first to offer mass-produced, high quality audio equipment, and introduced many legendary stereo components. We hope you enjoy the genuine HiFi experience of Yamaha Natural Sound.

Technology
Super Audio CD

DVD Players that support Super Audio CD use a technology called Direct Stream Digital (DSD) to convert music into a digital signal that can be stored on a disc. Compared to the traditional PCM method (the technology used for CD), DSD offers a much higher resolution by following more closely the original waveform of music. With a frequency response of over 100kHz and a dynamic range over 120dB across the audible frequency range – some 64 times higher resolution then CD - Super Audio CD offers music reproduction that reveals details you just can’t hear on a normal CD.
TECHNOLOGY: CD-R, CD-RW Playback

More and more people these days are using their computers or digital recorders to make their own CD-R and CD-RW discs. Yamaha CD players and changers are capable of playing these discs.

Comments about Yamaha cd-s2000_black__u:
This product (in Silver) harkens back to Yamaha's golden year's of true Hi-Fi equipment. It is built beautifully and looks great in my system. The transport is smooth as silk. However, where it truly shines is the sound. I could listen to this player for hours, and I have.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
