Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO™)

Environmental factors play an important role in the sonic signature of a room. The YPAO™ automatic calibration technique has been optimized for the R-N800A to deliver the ideal listening environment. YPAO™ features precision EQ, which performs exceptionally high-precision equalization with accuracy of up to 192 kHz / 64-bit audio resolution. YPAO™ R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) works in tandem to actively control the important early reflection sounds, automatically adjusting and optimizing how the sound is heard in your room based on the materials of your walls and your speaker placement. Enjoy the profound sound and immersive feeling unique to Hi-Fi audio - right in your own living room.

We pursue a sense of dynamics that express the contrast between stillness and motion in the music - allowing you to immerse yourself in the deep emotions in the music.

Yamaha boasts over 60 years of history as an audio brand. The technology in the R-N800A comes directly from our legendary Hi-Fi design concept ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology). This faithfully maintains the integrity of the audio by combining a meticulously symmetrical left / right circuit layout, signal directness and a chassis equipped with the special resin frame “Art Base” that absorbs and blocks unnecessary vibration.

ANTI-RESONANCE FEET

The R-N800A also employs anti-resonance feet designed under a concept of vibration absorption. By arranging thin curved reinforcing bars on the outer periphery and thick straight reinforcing bars in the center, the vibration energy transmitted from the outside of the leg is effectively dispersed and diminished, while maintaining high central rigidity. These make it possible to reproduce a focused sound that lets you fully feel the rhythm and dynamics of the music.

This is the relentlessly faithful reproduction of all sounds, from all instruments and all vocals, at all pitches and across the entire spectrum.

Enjoy the full harmony and musicality of sounds you’ve never heard before.

HIGH-PRECISION, HIGH-PERFORMANCE

The R-N800A uses the renowned SABRE ES9080Q 384 kHz / 32-bit DAC (from ESS Technology) to deliver superior S/N performance. Combined with our original network module, the unit thoroughly draws out all the sonic merits of high-resolution sound sources, effectively reproducing even the subtle ambience of concert halls and delicate expressive nuances in the sound.

LOW IMPEDANCE CONCEPT

In order to thoroughly eliminate energy loss and degradation of the audio signal, the R-N800A features thick wires for the ground connection. In addition, a screw connection is adopted for the output from the power amplifier section in order to strengthen the ground, which is important for audio quality. This gives the R-N1000A increased signal-to-noise performance, making it possible to reproduce sound with full clarity.

The R-N800A is equipped with our original MusicCast network system, compatible with a variety of streaming services such as Amazon Music HD and Spotify, letting you enjoy exceptionally high-quality sound unique to today’s high-resolution and lossless sound sources with complete fidelity. You can also use it to stream Apple Music with Airplay 2. MusicCast lets you easily listen to music anywhere in your home by linking various MusicCast devices with just one app on your smart device.

From audio you’ve stored on a PC, a network drive, vinyl records, or TV — the R-N800A handles everything, giving you superior sound and drawing out the full sonic splendor inherent in all your entertainment.
