A network stereo receiver from Yamaha. Yamaha rates it at 80 W + 80 W into 8 ohms (20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.07% THD) and lists Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, MusicCast, a phono input and an ESS SABRE ES9010K2M DAC. Available in Black and Silver.
Yamaha says the R-N600A uses its ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) design concept, with short, direct signal paths and a rigid, low-vibration chassis.
Why you will love it
ToP-ART design and Pure Direct
Yamaha says ToP-ART combines signal directness with a high-rigidity, low-vibration chassis that uses a resin frame it calls Art Base to absorb unwanted vibration.
Pure Direct mode sends the signal by the shortest route, bypassing the buffer amp and the tone, loudness and balance controls.

ESS SABRE DAC and high-resolution playback
The R-N600A uses an ESS SABRE ES9010K2M 384 kHz, 32-bit DAC with Yamaha's own network module. Yamaha says asynchronous transmission and a dedicated crystal clock are used to improve signal accuracy.
Yamaha lists native DSD 11.2 MHz and 384 kHz playback, and supported file formats of MP3, WMA, MPEG-4 AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF and DSD.
Streaming, MusicCast and AirPlay 2
Yamaha says the receiver works with streaming services such as Amazon Music HD and Spotify.
It also has Bluetooth (SBC / AAC) and AirPlay 2. With MusicCast, Yamaha says the sources connected to the receiver can be sent to other MusicCast devices around the home. The R-N600A is also part of Yamaha's Roon Tested program.
Records, TV and radio
Phono input terminals let you connect a turntable. Yamaha lists optical and coaxial digital inputs, and says the optical terminal is for TV sound.
Yamaha describes a DAB / DAB+ tuner with 40 presets and lists an FM tuner. A subwoofer output and a headphone output are also provided.
