In order to realise ideally balanced signal transmission when this player is connected to the A-S2000 integrated amp, the D/A converter uses a differential motion mode to achieve balanced transmission of all stages after it. Music fans can realise the audiophiles’ dream of fully balanced signal transmission from DAC output to just before the speaker jack by pairing this machine with the A-S2000.
The CD-S2000 features a differential motion D/A converter that succeeds in doubling the conversion precision by using Yamaha’s high precision DAC converters on the plus side and the minus side. The outputs of the plus and minus sides are input into isolated low pass filters, and transmitted in a fully balanced state from there to the output jack. Combining this player with the AS2000 amplifier ensures high purity CD reproduction of a quality unmatched in this class, thanks to an absence of transmission noise and related sound degradation.
The quality of the precision of the drive mechanism has a significant impact on the precision of the subsequent digital signal, and on the final sound. The CD-S2000 uses the Exclusive Yamaha Loading Mechanism with Superior Quietness that solidly supports the CD drive, and a highly reliable brushless spindle motor. The aluminium disc tray provides a luxurious touch matched to the superb sound quality.
The independent power supplies use separate transformers to isolate the audio circuitry from the digital circuitry to eliminate any effect of noise from both circuits. The audio section employs a toroidal transformer that holds down magnetic flux leakage to achieve a stable power supply. Specialised windings on the left and right channels isolate the rated current circuits to the left and right beyond them, achieving superior separation characteristics.
The CD-S2000 is the first Yamaha CD player to incorporate the Pure Direct circuit, which has long been provided on our AV amplifiers. When Pure Direct is on, the display is turned off and digital output is stopped, realising the highest possible analogue sound quality.
