A sensible first integrated amplifier that brings turntable, CD and TV sound together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound \u0026amp; Amplification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e2× 60 W at 8 ohms (0.019% THD), with dynamic headroom up to 150 W at 2 ohms – enough control for the vast majority of bookshelf and floorstanding speakers. The ToP-ART construction with symmetrical I\/O direct switching and the torsion-resistant ART Base bottom plate keep interference and vibration out of the signal path. Pure Direct bypasses all tone controls for the shortest possible signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDigital \u0026amp; Sources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVia the optical and coaxial digital inputs, the built-in DAC converts up to 192 kHz\/24-bit – optical for your TV, coaxial for the Blu-ray player. For vinyl there's an MM phono input, plus four line RCA inputs and a subwoofer output. Via the A\/B speaker terminals you run two speaker pairs or wire bi-wire. The stepless loudness control keeps the sound balanced even at low volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStraight talk – what you should know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe A-S301 is a pure amplifier with digital inputs – no streaming, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth and no USB. If you want Spotify, Qobuz \u0026amp; co. built directly into the device, the R-N600A network receiver is the better fit. The phono input is designed for MM cartridges; MC cartridges need an additional step-up transformer. And the speaker terminals ship with plastic caps in place – for banana plugs you'll need to pop them off first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 2× 60 W (8 Ω), 0.019% THD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic power (8\/6\/4\/2 Ω): 100 \/ 120 \/ 140 \/ 150 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital inputs: optical + coaxial, built-in DAC up to 192 kHz\/24-bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono: MM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog inputs: 4× line RCA, Phono (MM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: Speakers A\/B, subwoofer out, headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound functions: Pure Direct, stepless loudness, bass\/treble\/balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: ToP-ART circuit, ART Base chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the Yamaha A-S301 have a DAC?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

We'll work out with you which turntable type matches the MM phono input, and set up the system on-site at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53092618469712,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/3262\/8048\/files\/yamaha-a-s301-stereo-verstaerker-silber-dac-frontansicht.png?v=1784992354","url":"https:\/\/hdzuerisee.ch\/en\/products\/yamaha-a-s301-stereo-verstaerker-silber","provider":"HD Zürisee AG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
