A network stereo receiver from Yamaha. Yamaha rates it at 90 W + 90 W into 8 ohms (20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.07% THD) and lists a toroidal transformer, an ESS SABRE ES9026PRO DAC, level meters, HDMI ARC, YPAO room correction, a USB DAC input, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and MusicCast. Available in Black and Silver.
Yamaha says the R-N2000A combines high-resolution music streaming with traditional Hi-Fi quality, and that it uses the mechanical ground concept of Yamaha's Hi-Fi flagship model.
Yamaha on YPAO room correction
Why you will love it
Toroidal transformer and mechanical ground concept
Yamaha says the R-N2000A uses a toroidal transformer, with a 3 mm brass base between the transformer and the inner chassis to control vibration.
Under the mechanical ground concept, Yamaha says the bolts of the feet are welded directly to the main chassis, and the large heat sink, power transformer and block capacitors are bolted directly to it. Yamaha also lists silver-plated brass feet.

Floating and balanced power amplifier
Yamaha describes its original floating and balanced power amplifier, where the power amplifier circuitry including the power supply is independent from the ground.
It also describes a symmetrical, folding-book construction with the power supply in the centre and the power amplifier blocks at both ends of the unit. Yamaha lists a low impedance concept with thick ground wires and a screw connection for the power amplifier output, and speaker terminals cut from pure brass.
ESS SABRE ES9026PRO DAC
Yamaha lists an ESS SABRE ES9026PRO digital-to-analog converter. Yamaha says it delivers signal conversion through the balanced analog audio output, with refined current handling for four-channel operation.
The USB DAC input (USB B-type) uses asynchronous transmission and a dedicated crystal clock. Yamaha lists native DSD 11.2 MHz and 384 kHz playback.

YPAO room correction
Yamaha says its YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) automatic calibration has been optimised for the R-N2000A, with no manual adjustment needed.
Yamaha says YPAO precision EQ works with accuracy of up to 192 kHz / 64-bit, and YPAO R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) adjusts early reflections depending on the room and speaker placement.
MusicCast, AirPlay 2 and streaming
Yamaha says the receiver works with streaming services such as Amazon Music HD and Spotify (availability varies by region and may change).
It has Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth (SBC / AAC) and AirPlay 2. With MusicCast, Yamaha says you can link other MusicCast devices around the home with one app. The R-N2000A is part of Yamaha's Roon Tested program.

HDMI ARC, phono and level meters
The R-N2000A has an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) terminal, so a TV connects with a single cable. Optical and coaxial digital inputs and a phono input are also listed.
Yamaha says the front panel has illuminated level meters and a high-definition organic LED display that shows the content being played.
