"Best Product Streaming Receiver" - EISA Awards 2023-2024
Japanese craftsmanship and hi-fi traditions combine with state-of-the-art digital technology in Yamaha's R-N2000A streaming amplifier. The whole is both wonderful and innovative. The vintage-inspired front panel has traditional vu meters and touch controls, which are complemented by a stylish oled display, which again helps to better understand the ample features of the amplifier. Yamaha's excellent MusicCast app offers streaming options and multi-room functionality, but it also includes inputs for TV and record player, as well as fm radio. Under the hood, Yamaha's proven amplifier technology offers musical, sophisticated performance and a wide and deep soundstage full of fine details. Yamaha's YPAO room correction is especially welcome, as it allows the amplifier to perform at its best in every room.
Yamaha R-N2000A is a high-end 2-channel tuner amplifier with versatile streaming features and HDMI television connection. The sound reproduction reveals even the most delicate nuances of the artist and the instruments and the atmosphere with amazing realism. Enjoy the music as if you were watching the show live.
The RN2000A model has a high sound quality Toroidal transformer placed on a brass base familiar from top models, which conveys the emotional state of the music to the listener without compromise. The internal cabling of the amplifier is implemented with thick wires to prevent energy loss and audio signal degradation. The grounding cables of the amplifier are screwed, which contributes to the spaciousness and naturalness of the sound world.
The Mechanical Ground Concept structure of the RN2000A network tuner and the specially made brass Legs prevent the occurrence of unwanted frame vibrations, which brings an efficient and expressive low frequency response. The floating and fully balanced technology of the amplifier units, together with the symmetrical structure, brings out the sound of any instrument perfectly and guarantees exceptionally good channel separation.
The built-in MusicCast feature covers versatile streaming options. Services include Spotify, Amazon HD, Tidal and Deezer, as well as global online radio and podcast support. AirPlay 2 brings additional possibilities to Apple users. The internal ESS SABER 9026 PRO DAC in the amplifier takes care of high-quality digital-to-analog conversion. You can connect the RN2000A model directly to your TV using the HDMI ARC feature, and the sound world of the TV will also wake up to a completely new level.
The shapes and materials of the room strongly affect the sound image. The RN2000A model comes with an automatic YPAO calibration system that utilizes high-precision equalization with up to 192kHz/24-bit accuracy. YPAO RSC corrects early reflection sounds created by room materials and speaker placement. This way you can enjoy the deep and realistic sounds of HiFi sound reproduction in your own living room. Everything is finished by the wonderful level meters on the front panel of the amplifier, as well as the luxurious speaker connectors made of pure brass.
