Yamaha R-N1000A – High-Resolution Network Receiver and Integrated Amplifier

The Yamaha R-N1000A combines audiophile-grade amplification, high-resolution digital processing, and advanced room correction in one elegant, fully connected chassis. Sitting just below Yamaha’s flagship R-N2000A, the 1000A offers much of its performance at a more accessible price.

At its core, the R-N1000A employs a discrete Class-AB amplifier stage delivering 100 W per channel into 8 ohms (20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.07% THD), with a robust power supply featuring a custom EI transformer, high-grade block capacitors, and low-resistance copper wiring to ensure stable current delivery and high transient performance.

Yamaha’s ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) layout keeps the left and right signal paths symmetrical and short, reducing crosstalk and distortion. The chassis uses a double-bottom construction with a 1 mm steel plate and Anti-Resonance feet, effectively minimising vibration for greater clarity and focus.

Digital processing is handled by the ESS Sabre ES9080Q DAC, capable of PCM 384 kHz / 32-bit and DSD 11.2 MHz playback via the asynchronous USB-B input. The DAC section supports high-resolution streaming and local file playback with excellent dynamic range and low noise.

To ensure consistent performance in any environment, the R-N1000A integrates YPAO-R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) room calibration technology — a feature inherited from Yamaha’s AV receivers. This automatically analyses speaker placement, distance, and reflections, then adjusts EQ and timing to deliver balanced, accurate sound tailored to your room.

Premium Build Quality

Finished in classic brushed aluminium with machined knobs and a clear display, the R-N1000A combines Yamaha’s hallmark build quality with state-of-the-art digital performance. It’s the ideal centrepiece for a modern two-channel system that values both precision and musicality.
