Product Description
-------------------
YAMAHA creates an Ultra high quality super audio CD player for
True music enthusiasts. The cd-s1000 is an Ultra high precision,
super audio CD player that inherits the high sound quality design
of the cd-s2000.

The YAMAHA CD-S1000 Super Audio CD Player: Built and Tuned for
Truly Exceptional Music Reproduction
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The YAMAHA CD-S1000 inherits the high sound quality design of
the more expensive CD-S2000, such as the use of differential DACs
for high conversion precision with low noise, as well as YAMAHA's
proprietary Silent Loader and High Precision CD Drive, but
without balanced output circuitry.
What really sets the CD-S1000 apart from its competitors,
however, is that above and beyond the excellent electronic and
mechanical performance, YAMAHA designers have "tuned" the sound
with a musician's sensibility. Unlike, for example, new format
DVD players that are as close to being computers as they are to
audio components, the CD-S1000 was built by people who thought of
it as a musical instrument. The difference is apparent,
especially when you pair it with the A-S1000 or other
high-performance amplifier, which will give you the finest CD
sound quality you've ever heard.
Differential D/A Converters Ensure Digital Precision
The CD-S1000 uses high-grade differential D/A converters for the
left and right channels, with their output assigned separately
for plus and minus. Developed by drawing on YAMAHA's long
experience in digital technology, they endure the highest
conversion precision as well as outstanding signal-to-noise ratio
and dynamic range.
Silent Loader and High Precision CD Drive
The mechanism that picks up the audio signal is actually
analogue, even during the digital reproduction of a CD. So its
degree of precision has a surprisingly large effect on the
reproduction of the digital signals and the final sound. The
CD-S1000 features YAMAHA's unique Silent Loader, which uses
Synchro Mesh instead of noise-producing gears, for totally silent
tray movement and high durability. A highly reliable brushless
spindle motor and a diecast aluminum tray means vibration-free
playback as the CD spins. The thick steel and wool chassis is
very heavy and stable, far superior to ordinary types made partly
of plastic.
Four-Part Power Supply with Independent Structure for Clean
Current
The power supply has four sections--for the audio circuitry, the
digital circuitry, the drive mechanism, and the display--which
are physically separated from each other and from the
transformer, minimizing both mutual interference that degrades
sound quality and the effect on earth electric potential. The
power supply for the audio circuitry is a constant current type
with an independent left-right structure; it ensures a stable
supply of clean power and contributes to superior channel
separation.
Pure Direct for Maximum Throughput
The CD-S1000 provides the Pure Direct circuit that is a popular
feature of YAMAHA amplifiers and receivers. Since it has separate
analogue and digital sections, the same as a good component
amplifier, the designers decided to make use of YAMAHA's
amplifier technology to help achieve high sound quality. When
Pure Direct is on, the display is turned off and the digital
output shuts down, providing the highest possible analogue sound
quality.
Symmetrical Construction
Like the A-S2000 and A-S1000 integrated amps, this player has a
left-right symmetrical design with rigid construction, including
a reinforcing bar in the centre. Its specially designed feet
stabilize the ground connection and provide superior protection
from external vibration.
Specially Designed Feet Dampen Vibration
The base is equipped with height adjustable, solid steel feet
that maximize stability and thoroughly dampen any external
vibration.
Super Sound from Super Audio CDs
The CD-S1000 is capable of playing Super Audio CDs, for an even
more dynamic listening experience. It also plays CDs and CD-RW
discs.
