A stereo integrated amplifier from Yamaha with an MM phono input, optical and coaxial digital inputs, and a ToP-ART circuit design. Yamaha rates it at 100 W + 100 W into 8 ohms (20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.019% THD).

Yamaha describes the A-S701 as an integrated amplifier with extremely pure sound quality and outstanding drive power, with the advantage of digital input.

Why you will love it

ToP-ART circuit design

Yamaha's ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) uses an input-to-output direct symmetrical design, with the left and right channels laid out in a straight, symmetrical line. Yamaha says this keeps the signal path simple and direct, so it is less likely to be affected by noise and distortion.

The ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base chassis adds rigid support and damps vibration, says Yamaha.

Custom parts

Yamaha lists a custom-made power transformer, 12,000 uF block capacitors, two direct signal path speaker relays, a one-point grounding system and aluminium-extruded heat sinks.

Gold-plated speaker and input terminals are fitted.

CD Direct and Pure Direct

CD Direct Amplification connects straight to the CD input, which Yamaha says maximises the S/N ratio of a CD source. Pure Direct mode sends the signal by the shortest route, bypassing the buffer amp and the tone, loudness and balance controls.

A continuously variable analogue loudness control on the front panel lets you adjust the loudness effect. Yamaha says it compensates for the ear's loss of low and high frequencies at low volumes.

Digital, phono and two speaker pairs

Optical and coaxial digital inputs let you connect a TV (optical) and a Blu-ray player (coaxial) and keep the signal digital. An MM phono input takes a turntable with a moving magnet cartridge.

A speaker selector switches between speaker pair A, B or both, with four speaker terminals. A subwoofer terminal is provided.

Bluetooth by adapter, and simple controls

The A-S701 has a DC out connection for Yamaha's optional YBA-11 Bluetooth wireless adapter, which Yamaha says supports aptX audio coding. Bluetooth is not built in.

A rotary input selector with LEDs shows the selected source. Auto Power Standby shifts the amplifier into standby after about eight hours without use, per Yamaha. The remote can also control a Yamaha CD player.

Is it right for you?

A great fit if you…

Want a two-channel amplifier for passive speakers
Have a turntable with an MM cartridge
Want to connect a TV or Blu-ray player by optical or coaxial digital
Want to run two pairs of speakers or add a subwoofer

Worth knowing

No built-in Bluetooth or network streaming: Bluetooth needs Yamaha's optional YBA-11 adapter, sold separately
Yamaha lists an MM phono input only, with no MC input
It is 387 mm deep and weighs 11.2 kg, so check your shelf
The 160 W + 160 W maximum power figure is quoted at 4 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7% THD, for Europe

Build your system

The A-S701 needs passive speakers. It has phono, line and digital inputs.

Speakers: Pair it with Yamaha NS-555 floorstanding speakers, or browse floor-standing speakers and bookshelf speakers.
Subwoofer: Use the subwoofer output with a Yamaha NS-SW200 or NS-SW300.
Turntable: Add a turntable with an MM cartridge, such as the Yamaha TT-S303, or browse turntables.
Alternatives: See the Yamaha A-S501 or A-S301, or browse stereo amplifiers.
