Yamaha - CD-S303 CD Player with Built-in DAC - Black
Customers are saying
Customers love the excellent sound quality provided by the built-in DAC and find the device very easy to install and operate. Users also appreciate the convenience of the remote control, which simplifies managing all functions. While the overall experience is positive, some users have encountered minor difficulties with CD playback skipping and the firmware update process.
Enjoy your MP3, WMA, LPCM, AAC and FLAC music
The USB port on the front panel gives you an easy way to enjoy high-quality sound from MP3, WMA, LPCM, AAC or FLAC digital music files stored on USB memory devices. You can also play files recorded on CD-R/RW discs.
3-mode CD text display
Information about the currently playing CD is shown right on the CD player’s display. The 3-mode CD Text display shows the CD’s title, the artist’s name and the title of the track.
Well-matched, high-quality parts
Including a high-grade acoustic capacitor, a new low-noise, high-gain bandwidth op amp and the use of damping material under the transformer and around the signal cables are just a few examples of the Yamaha commitment to great sound quality.
Pure direct
By pressing the button on the front panel or on the remote control, it shuts down the digital audio output and turns off the display. This achieves the lowest possible noise interference and, therefore, the highest sound quality of the analog audio output.
Short signal paths
This purposeful design also keeps the paths between sections straight and short, minimizing the chance of signal loss or interference; something not easy to achieve.
