Ideal as your first proper hi-fi amplifier stage for a turntable, CD player and bookshelf speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound \u0026amp; Amplification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e2× 100 W at 8 ohms (0.2% THD) – powerful enough for most bookshelf and compact floorstanding speakers. The short, symmetrically built signal path and the Pure Direct mode, which bypasses the tone controls, deliver a clear, unadulterated sound. A stepless loudness control balances the sound at low volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConnections\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive inputs in total: an MM phono input for your turntable, plus four line RCA inputs for CD, tuner, streamer or an external DAC, along with a recording output. Via the A\/B speaker terminals you run two speaker pairs or wire one speaker bi-wire. A headphone output sits up front. Standby consumption is just 0.5 W.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStraight talk – what you should know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe A-S201 is deliberately stripped back: no digital inputs, no DAC, no streaming and no Bluetooth – if you want to connect digital sources directly, go for the A-S301 (with DAC) or the R-N600A network receiver. The phono input is designed for MM cartridges. And the speaker terminals ship with plastic caps in place, which you need to pop off first for banana plugs. Under higher load with low-impedance speakers, the unit gets noticeably warm – but that's no issue at normal living-room volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 2× 100 W (8 Ω), 0.2% THD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: 100 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono: MM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 4× line RCA, Phono (MM), recording output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: Speakers A\/B, headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound functions: Pure Direct, stepless loudness, bass\/treble\/balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandby: 0.5 W, auto-standby (2\/4\/8\/12 h)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 6.7 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the Yamaha A-S201 have a DAC or digital input?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The A-S201 is purely analog.
