The outcome is unbelievably lifelike; you'll sense as though you're witnessing the live spectacle unfold directly before your eyes.

In the realm of audio fidelity, environmental influences are paramount in shaping the sonic landscape of a room. Our proprietary YPAO™ automatic calibration technology, honed over decades of refinement in Home Theater systems, has been meticulously tailored for the R-N2000A to curate an optimal listening environment reminiscent of a professional audio studio—eliminating the need for cumbersome manual adjustments. With precision EQ capabilities, operating at an astonishing 192 kHz / 64-bit audio resolution, YPAO™ ensures unparalleled equalization accuracy. Complementing this, YPAO™ R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) dynamically manages critical early reflections, automatically fine-tuning and enhancing the acoustic experience to accommodate various wall materials and speaker configurations. Immerse yourself in the rich, immersive world of Hi-Fi audio, right from the comfort of your living room, with the R-N2000A.

Toroidal Transformer

Traditionally found in top-tier Hi-Fi systems, the R-N2000A boasts the technical finesse and pure musicality of a toroidal transformer. Working in harmony with a suite of premium Hi-Fi elements, this transformer plays a pivotal role in translating musical emotions to the listener. What's more, a 3 mm brass base, meticulously positioned between the transformer and the inner chassis, effectively dampens vibrations, resulting in an expansively immersive sound brimming with lifelike realism.

High-Performance DAC

Striving for immaculate sound field replication and the conveyance of rich, meticulously detailed audio, we've embraced the cutting-edge ES9026PRO digital-to-analog converter by ESS Technologies. This premium-grade DAC excels in precision signal conversion, facilitated by its balanced analog audio output and enhanced current delivery tailored for four-channel operation. As a result, it effortlessly captures the nuanced ambiance of concert halls and delicately articulates the expressive subtleties within the sound spectrum.

Low Impedance Concept

To completely mitigate energy loss and preserve the integrity of the audio signal, the R-N2000A incorporates thick ground wires—an essential hallmark of genuine premium Hi-Fi equipment. Furthermore, a screw connection method is employed for the power amplifier section's output to fortify the ground connection, a crucial factor in ensuring optimal audio fidelity. These meticulous enhancements culminate in an expansive, organic soundstage, fostering a profound connection between the artist and the listener.

Dynamics

Rather than simply generating robust sound, we aspire to capture dynamics that vividly convey the interplay between tranquility and movement within the music. This approach enables you to tangibly experience the profound emotions embedded in the music, facilitating deep immersion into its captivating world.

Mechanical Ground Concept

Following in the footsteps of Yamaha's Hi-Fi flagship model, the R-N2000A embraces the mechanical ground philosophy. This innovative approach starts with bolts securing the feet directly to the main chassis, extending to include the substantial heat sink, power transformer, and block capacitors, all firmly fastened to the chassis. By thwarting unwanted vibrations, this design yields a commanding, deeply expressive low-frequency output, enabling you to tangibly sense the rhythmic pulse and groove of the music.

Chrome-Plated Brass Feet

Enhancing the amplifier's structural integrity are its robust chrome-plated brass feet, ensuring steadfast reinforcement for a profoundly resonant low-frequency foundation.

Tonal Balance

Experience the unwaveringly precise reproduction of every sound, instrument, and vocal, spanning the entire pitch spectrum with unparalleled fidelity. Immerse yourself in the complete harmony and musical richness of the audio, where you may even uncover intricacies previously unnoticed.

Floating and Balanced Power Amplifier 

Featuring our proprietary amplifier technology, the power amplifier circuitry of the R-N2000A is ingeniously isolated from ground, effectively eradicating the impact of even the slightest voltage fluctuations and external ground noise. This innovative circuit design yields a multitude of advantages, including flawless symmetry in pull-pull operation within the output stage, attainment of exceptional signal-to-noise ratio, and a compellingly expressive power that impeccably articulates the sonic characteristics of any musical instrument.

Symmetrical Construction

In its quest for the pinnacle of stereo reproduction, the R-N2000A embraces a meticulously crafted perfectly symmetrical, folding-book construction. Positioned at the heart of this design is the power supply, flanked by power amplifier blocks at either end of the main unit. This configuration ensures optimal weight distribution and effectively mitigates adverse interactions between channels, resulting in exceptional channel separation. The outcome is a remarkably pristine reproduction of every facet of the sound.

MusicCast

Included with the R-N2000A is Yamaha's MusicCast network system, seamlessly compatible with a range of streaming services like Amazon Music HD and Spotify. Immerse yourself in the unparalleled sound quality offered by today's high-resolution and lossless audio sources, experiencing every detail with pristine fidelity. Additionally, enjoy the convenience of streaming Apple Music via Airplay 2.
