If you’re looking for an amp that combines audiophile‑grade analog performance with modern digital capability, the A‑S801 is one of the best values on the market.
Key Features
• 100W x 2 of Clean, High‑Current Yamaha Power
Drives bookshelf or floor standing towers with ease. The A‑S801 uses Yamaha’s ToP‑ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) architecture and a high‑current power supply, delivering tight bass, wide dynamics, and a neutral, transparent presentation.
• ESS Sabre 32‑bit DAC (ES9010K2M)
This is where the A‑S801 separates itself from other integrated amps.
Handles PCM up to 384 kHz
Handles DSD up to 5.6 MHz
USB‑B input for direct computer connection
Optical & coaxial digital inputs for TV, streamers, and consoles
It’s essentially a high‑end DAC and integrated amp in one chassis.
• USB DAC Mode – True High‑Res Playback
Connect directly to a PC or streamer and bypass noisy computer audio paths. Perfect for Tidal, Qobuz, Roon, or local high‑res libraries.
• Pure Direct & CD Direct Amplification
Bypasses unnecessary circuitry for the cleanest possible signal path.
• Subwoofer Out + A/B Speaker Switching
Flexible for both 2.1 setups and multi‑room speaker configurations.

Aluminum front panel, solid knobs, and a timeless design that fits modern or vintage‑style systems.
