#Yamaha #S303 CD Player #Unboxed. This high-quality CD player is easy to operate and includes special features like Pure Direct, Intelligent Digital Servo, USB and MP3/WMA/LPCM/FLAC compatibility.
Features...
Pure Direct
Extremely sophisticated circuitry and layout
Short signal paths
High-quality parts
High performance DAC for high conversion precision with low noise
Laser pickup floating mechanism
Intelligent Digital Servo
MP3, WMA, LPCM and FLAC compatibility
CD-R/RW disc playback compatibility
Numerous convenient playback functions
Designed to Deliver Enjoyable Sound Quality
Inheriting many of the sound quality features of the high-end CD player components, the CD-S303 CD player delivers sound that will satisfy devoted music fans. In addition to CDs, it also provides high-quality play of music files stored on USB memory devices via a USB port on the front panel.
Extremely Sophisticated Circuitry and Layout
Yamaha technicians devoted a great deal of time and effort to designing the overall interior layout of parts and circuit boards, a factor that significantly affects sound quality. As a result, the power supplies for the motor drive, display and USB sections, as well as the digital and analog sections, are individually isolated, eliminating electromagnetic interference among them. To achieve ideal weight balance for stable performance, the drive mechanism is located in the center of the unit.
Short Signal Paths
The highly logical and symmetrical internal layout of parts and circuit boards are designed to keep the signal paths on each board as short as possible. This purposeful design also keeps the paths between sections straight and short, minimizing the chance of signal loss or interference; something not easy to achieve.
Pure Direct
The CD-S303 offers Pure Direct, which is the same popular feature included in Yamaha amplifiers and receivers. By pressing the button on the front panel or on the remote control, it shuts down the digital audio output and turns off the display. This achieves the lowest possible noise interference and, therefore, the highest sound quality of the analog audio output.
Well-Matched, High-Quality Parts
Each of the individual elements in a CD player influences the sound quality, which is why Yamaha puts a great deal of effort into the selection and matching of parts and materials. A high-grade acoustic capacitor, a new low-noise, high-gain bandwidth op amp and the use of damping material under the transformer and around the signal cables are just a few examples of the Yamaha commitment to great sound quality. In short, the CD-S303's internal sophistication is on a level generally found on much more expensive models.
High-Performance D/A Converter
Utilizing a 192 kHz/24-bit DAC, the high-performance D/A conversion system takes full advantage of the digital technology refined by Yamaha over a period of many years, ensuring excellent conversion precision, S/N ratio and dynamic range.
Enjoy Your MP3, WMA, LPCM, AAC and FLAC Music
The USB port on the front panel gives you an easy way to enjoy high-quality sound from MP3, WMA, LPCM, AAC or FLAC digital music files stored on USB memory devices. You can also play files recorded on CD-R/RW discs.
Laser Pickup Floating Mechanism
The laser pickup is isolated on a floating mechanism so its delicate operation cannot be affected by vibration.
Intelligent Digital Servo
Conventional tracking servo circuitry cannot completely overcome errors caused by a warped disc, dust and other defects. This system uses a dependable DSP (Digital Signal Processor), exclusive for CDs, to monitor the signal, adjusting pickup tracking and focus, as well as spindle motor speed, to compensate for any problems.
3-Mode CD Text Display
Information about the currently playing CD is shown right on the CD player’s display. The 3-mode CD Text display shows the CD’s title, the artist’s name and the title of the track.
Program Play (Audio CDs Only)
It’s extremely easy to program the tracks you want to hear in any order. You can clear the program at any time with a single touch.
Specifications...
Disc Compatibility: CD, CD-R/RW
Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 105 dB (CD
Dynamic Range: 96 dB

Frequency Response: 2 Hz-20 kHz (CD)

Mine doesn't work properly. Really annoying. Even after a firewire update (v1.37) it's not playing CD's as it should, with stutters. I am now trying to have the device repaired or replaced, but I really would like my money back, I will buy another brand with it. I really don't want anything to do with this Yamaha anymore, to be honest. I am not the only one with these issues.
