YamahaNP-S2000 Hi-fi Network Music Player

Audio entertainment is now so diversified. Through use of the Internet and your PC, accessing literally endless music and other sound files is easy. The difficult part has been getting it to your home or mobile sound system. Yamaha has simplified the process with the NP-S2000.

You already have lots of music sources. In the future, you’ll probably have more. Instead of having to access them separately, now you can network them all together. The NP-S2000 Network Player links all your sources — iPod, Internet radio, NAS and much more — with easy access via a web browser or even your iPhone. And the Network Pure Audio sound quality is even better than your present sources. It’s the future of home audio — and it’s here right now.

The system requires Internet access and a router. It acts as a bridge to extend music from your computer or Internet to play on a home stereo or home-theatre sound system.

The NP-S2000 receives inputs from all of your media sources and outputs them to your audio system. It does not have its own hard drive, DVD/CD mechanism or motor. This means no noise caused by hard drive motors and actuators, no mechanism noise and no jitter from data buffering. The sound you hear has much greater clarity, detail and presence than anything you are used to.

The NP-S2000 uses two high performance power supplies, a toroidal transformer for the analogue section and an IE core transformer for the digital section. This ensures higher, more stable power, while allowing the two sections to be completely isolated to prevent any interference.

The NP-S2000 comes with a setup application that guides you through installation step by step, making it easy to create your own digital audio network. After setup, you can get quick, easy access to all your media via a web browser interface, which you can use from your computer, smartphone, netbook or other devices.

This versatile network player comes bundled with TwonkyMedia server software for seamless operation with Apple iTunes. You have complete, convenient access to your full iTunes library and playlists. Download Yamaha's NP app from iTunes and enjoy more music on your iPhone and iPad.
