QuestionHow is the sound quality
Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I don't know how discerning a music person you are but I've been listening to music with hi-fi equipment for many years and using cd players since 1985 starting with a Sony model that was around $600 then. I have to say that this cd player with a built in DAC and price point is the best sounding player in it's class. The USB feature is especially nice to play a lot of music I downloaded from my large cd collection.Just make sure you upgrade the firmware from Yamaha's website to a blank USB drive and install on the cd player. I believe its the 1.53 version. Depending on the amp and speakers you are using you can tweak the sound with your tone controls. Sound can depend on how the music cd was produced in the sound studio so each cd may sound more detailed and louder than others that are older and not as detailed. Hope this helps some. Yamaha makes great equipment. I have been a fan since 1980.

QuestionDoes the CD player need a receiver?
Asked 2 years ago by Pack.
- Answer The CD player does not have a power source, so it does require a receiver if you are using typical passive speakers. Alternatively, you can connect powered speakers directly to the CD player without a receiver.

QuestionI have split track CDs for our church choir accompaniment. Would I be able to select only the instrumental track, without the vocals track?
Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer No, it’s not possible to select only the instrumental or the vocal portion of the track, since a “split-track CD” is a regular CD that can be played in any CD player but has the vocals on one channel and the instrumental accompaniment on the other channel. To hear only the instrumental part, you will need detachable speakers to just unplug the speaker channel that you don’t want to hear.
