The Yamaha CD-S303 is incredibly easy to use. The front panel is sleek and ergonomic, with clearly marked onboard controls. This accessible design is homogeneous with other Yamaha HiFi components and is a great addition for any budding audio enthusiast with a substantial disc library. The S303 accepts CDs, recorded CD-R/RW, and even basic USB playback via the front port, including compatibility with MP3, WMA, LPCM, AAC or FLAC.
Accurate and Efficient
In the pursuit of superior audio reproduction, Yamaha has implemented a definitive choice of high-gain components and efficient circuit paths for diminished signal loss, low-noise and an all-around better sounding result. Likewise, this carefully curated layout is supported by electromagnetic isolation around common sources of distortion such as the motor drive and information display, as well as throughout the USB, digital and analog signal zones.
A Cut Above the Rest
Yamaha’s goal has always been to offer the best. The CD-S303 is no outlier, featuring functions usually only available at higher price points. Equipped with a 192 kHz/24-bit DAC, experience accurate digital conversion with heightened playback no matter which output you’re listening through. Ensuring a more reliable CD experience, this Yamaha CD player also features a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to monitor and compensate for marks on your discs.
Pure Direct Mode
Pressing the Pure Direct button will turn off the information display and digital output to boost the accuracy of the analog signal path. Noise is reduced and operational distortion from unnecessary functions is eliminated.
Three-Mode Information
Are you making your way through a compilation album or want to show off what you’re listening to? The CD-S303 comes with a three-mode text display that shows you the album title, the name of the artist and the song currently playing.
Program Play
The remote control that is included with the CD-S303 not only lets you play, pause and skip, but by using the program button, lets you queue songs on the CD you’re listening to. You can also shuffle and loop playback.
