In addition to having a refined appearance, the device features a hairline finish that compliments the style of the amplifiers. Additionally, you may operate a Yamaha CD player with the included remote control.

The amplifier at 120Hz will provide twice the power (240W) cause the impedance at this frequency is 2 times lower than the reference impedance (8 ohms) from the amplifier … Powering your speakers is about more than just brute force. The Yamaha A-S501 offers an excellent balance of power and agility, so your music sounds dynamic and bold without sounding bloated or distorted. In addition to its ample power output, this integrated amplifier employs a symmetrical circuit layout from inputs to outputs, along with an anti-resonance chassis. This keeps distortion and interference from cluttering the signal, for sound that's clean and clear. Your stereo speakers will come to life, for an engaging, detailed performance. Engage Pure Direct listening mode to bypass tone and loudness controls, for an even purer signal. I compared it with my Oppo HA-2 portable headphone dac/amp which is more neutral, more detailed and has a wider soundstage. Now, don’t get me wrong, this Yamaha headphone output is still good, but being used to the Oppo HA-2 the difference was striking and I prefer the latter.Interesting Ashley I never gave that a thought about my Yamaha amp, I guess if it had a DAC I would have the Cambridge Transport now. However, fingers crossed, my very old Arcam Alpha 9 CD Player is behaving itself at present so unless it finally dies I will sit tight for now I think as I like the sound I am getting from it. Originally several years ago it would start slipping towards the end of a CD it originally started doing it and I had it fixed under warranty. When it was about five years old it started doing it again so it sat in the cupboard for many years. I know it could start at any moment but you never know I guess. It has another fault in that it reads the disc when I load it but within seconds loses the detail. I can get around that by pressing play before closing the cd drawer and it is fine!

But here is my point Ashley, after countless hours of serious AB listening to Revox, Mac, Tandberg, B&O etc. I ended up with an amp costing a fraction of the Revox, which 30 years ago was 1,000.00. After years of enjoyment the Revox was needing more and more service and the only repairman was in Nashville, so my friend John said I had to hear an amp by Integra – the DTM 5.3 for 400.00. Long story short we spent a couple of hours of serious listening and here’s the rub, except for a bit more low end out of the Integra, it matched the Revox in every way! And lastly to the built-in DAC. It’s a decent effort, very warm-sounding with high levels of detail. There are no fancy digital filters, despite them being offered by the PCM5101 chip. But that’s no bad thing – those filters often have such a subtle effect on the sound that finding the best filter is often nothing short of maddening. The A-S501’s DAC is about as good as you’d get for the price, and will put many stand-alone offerings to shame. It sounds a lot like the digital section found in the CD-N301 streamer – and that’s certainly no bad thing. Summary That volume control is motorised, allowing you to operate it from the remote control. It’s also electronic – the volume a resistor-ladder type control with resistors switched in and out of circuit by the A-S501’s microcontroller as the analogue potentiometer is operated. This method, also used in Yamaha’s top of the range A-S3000, results in far greater accuracy at low volumes, better channel balance, and less crosstalk between the left and right channels.You can, however, add the optional YBA-11 Bluetooth wireless adapter to stream music wirelessly from your mobile device or computer. The YBA-11 connects to the Yamaha’s digital coax input and supports the aptX® audio coding algorithm for CD-like sound quality. Using this volume control, you may compensate for those variations by resetting the ratio of bass and treble in the sound signal. It works, and it is worth your time to give it a shot.

The audio stays in the digital domain, giving you pure, Once you jump to the A-S801 you get some high end DAC features. The A-S801 has a premium ESS Sabre 32-bit DAC (ES90110K2M) with USB input. The A-S801’s USB DAC will handle native DSD (2.8 MHz / 5.6 MHz) and PCM (384 kHz / 32-bit). We’re planning on reviewing the A-S801 later this year and suspect it will bust the 100 watt power rating on our bench.
