Old-school style hides a thoroughly modern and capable network streaming amp, with the Yamaha R-N2000A.

The best in sound and convenience
Built using many of Yamaha’s reference technologies, the Yamaha R-N2000A delivers the most natural sound with the least distortion possible. By using premium materials, it also has a reassuringly luxurious look and feel, further helped by the glow from the glorious VU meters. A wide range of connectivity means that, as well as sounding superb, it has everything you need for the most connected hi-fi system. From TV to turntable and taking in network streaming, games console, PC, CD and more, this Yamaha has it all to be at the hub of your system.

Top notch USB DAC
Deploying a high-performance ESS SABRE ES9026PRO DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter), this Yamaha delivers incredibly dynamic, low distortion digital processing. This makes it ideal for Hi-Res music files, which can be played over the network or from your computer to the USB-B socket at the rear. Support for DSD 11.2MHz native playback and up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM files means that you get to hear your premium quality music files at the highest quality possible.

Reference engineering
Based on Yamaha’s reference hi-fi, the R-N2000A employs the mechanical ground concept. This encapsulates a series of small but meaningful engineering steps that make all the difference to the sound. Starting with the feet screws that are welded directly to the main chassis and continuing with the large heat sink, power transformer and block capacitor that are also directly bolted to the chassis, every element of the design prevents unwanted vibration, revealing the most natural sound possible.

Premium materials from top to toe
Cut from pure brass, the speaker sockets are not only highly conductive, they’re also built to last, ensuring that they maintain a secure connection over an extended time period. Equally sturdy are the silver-plated feet. Also made from brass, they help resist vibrations and provide a handsome base for the receiver.

Floating and balanced power amp section
Designed for the lowest background noise and the purest sound, the R-N2000A’s power amplifier section is completely independent from the ground and the influence of minute voltage fluctuations and external noise. Symmetrical construction, with the power supply in the centre ensures perfect left/right channel separation and soundstage purity.

Punchy power
Boasting an impressive 90 watts per channel, the Yamaha R-N2000A has ample power to drive inefficient speakers. It also makes the ideal choice for room-filling sound in larger spaces. Powered by an over-sized toroidal transformer, there’s effortless current for fulsome bass at any volume.

Tuned in to your room
Pioneered on its AV receivers, Yamaha’s YPAO (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimiser) tunes the sound to suit your room. The system measures the shape of your room, wall material and speaker position and then automatically adjusts the sound to maximise the acoustics. RSC (Reflect Sound Control) is also included. This minimises the sonically harmful effect of early-reflected sound. The result of this powerful tech is the best sound possible, whatever your room’s acoustics.

Level meters for a visual connection
Evoking heritage amps of the past, the R-N2000A features VU meters that pulse with the music, giving you a visual connection with what you’re listening to. Backlit by softly illuminated LEDs, they give a visual reference to the music’s power in all lighting conditions. You can switch the VU meters to hold the peak levels, dim the display or switch off entirely.

Connect everything from your TV to turntable
Featuring an HDMI ARC socket, the R-N2000A is ideal for connecting your TV and enjoying the sound in pristine stereo. Listen to your vinyl collection by connecting your turntable to the MM (Moving Magnet) input. A games console and CD player with digital output, and more, can be connected via the three digital inputs (two optical and one coaxial). For any other sources that you might have, there are three line-level inputs and a pre-out for recording. Other connections include a subwoofer output and a 12V trigger output for powering up connected devices.

Stream the best music services
Compatible with Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, TIDAL, Deezer and Qobuz, the R-N2000A is fully equipped for your favourite music streaming service. With TIDAL and Qobuz already offering higher resolution playback, it’s now possible to find a streaming service that at least matches the quality of CD and, in some cases, even improves upon it.

MusicCast for music all around your home
The Yamaha R-N2000A is part of Yamaha's hugely impressive network audio system, MusicCast. With MusicCast you control all your compatible Yamaha MusicCast products via your smartphone. Play the same music on all the components or split the sound into different zones for different moods in each room; the choice is yours. The MusicCast CONTROLLER app lets you operate the system around your home and change settings quickly and easily.

Advanced networking including Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth
As well as MusicCast, this Yamaha is also compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, letting you stream music from your Apple iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad or other compatible Apple device, wirelessly, around your home. Just ask Siri where you want the music to play. For a quick and easy connection with your smartphone, use the Bluetooth connection for easy music streaming.
