Yamaha A-S701 Stereo Amplifier with DAC, Silver

Yamaha A-S701 – powerful integrated amplifier with DAC

The A-S701 is the top of the ToP-ART entry-level range: more power, gold-plated terminals and solid construction that clearly outperforms its price class. With a built-in DAC, MM phono and a powerful output stage, it's a durable all-rounder for vinyl, CD and TV sound.

Sound & amplification

2× 100 W into 8 ohms (0.019% THD), with high dynamic headroom up to 290 W into 2 ohms – so it drives larger and trickier speakers with confidence. ToP-ART, ART Base chassis, a custom-made power transformer and gold-plated speaker and input terminals ensure low-loss, controlled reproduction. Pure Direct for the most direct signal path.

Digital & sources

Optical and coaxial digital inputs with a built-in DAC for TVs and Blu-ray players. MM phono input for your turntable, several line RCA inputs, A/B speaker terminals and stepless loudness. The optional YBA-11 Bluetooth adapter lets you add wireless streaming.

Straight talk – what you should know

Streaming, Wi-Fi and USB are not built in – Bluetooth is only available via the optional YBA-11 adapter. If you want built-in network streaming, go for the R-N800A instead. The phono input is MM (not MC). For most living rooms the power is more than enough; the extra cost over the A-S501 is mainly justified by the extra power and the higher-quality terminals.
