High-rigidity drive mechanism and innovative circuit design for loss-less audio. Breaks through to the ultimate in audio reproduction—and the very essence of music.Introducing Yamaha’s highest class CD Player—the CD-S3000.
Key Features:
- Optimised High-precision Rigid CD Mechanism with heavy anchors improves vibration control and achieves precise signal reading
- High rigidity aluminium CD tray
- High rigidity main chassis improves anti-vibration properties and left-right symmetrical construction
- Independent configuration of digital and analogue circuits
- Digital/analogue boards with integrated power supply circuits
- Single-stage configuration I/V conversion circuit enables direct analogue output
- Exceptionally high performance 32-bit D/A converter
- Built-in USB DAC functions
- ASIO 2.3 Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver
- Pure Direct Mode further enhances the quality of analogue sound
The functionality of a modern source in a music system cannot be limited only to CD playback, so the developers have endowed Yamaha CD-S3000 with the ability to read high-resolution SACD media, as well as to act as a high-end external DAC for other components of the system, as well as for a computer. For this purpose, the device is equipped with optical and coaxial digital inputs, as well as a USB type B port. The latter is capable of receiving from a PC a digital stream with resolution up to 24-bit / 192 kHz, you just need to download from the manufacturer's website and install on your PC a special driver working under the ASIO 2.3 protocol.
An interesting detail: Yamaha declares the driver's support for Windows operating systems starting from Vista, so those who still use Windows XP should take this into account. Digital-to-analog conversion is performed by the legendary ES9018S chip from ESS Technology's SABRE32 Reference family, which can process a PCM digital stream with up to 32-bit resolution and work with the original DSD stream.

Yamaha CD-S3000 CD player is recommended for fans of quality audio sound, who are demanding to the appearance of such devices - the model has similarities with a musical instrument. The player is integrated DAC ES9018, which includes the function of Jitter Eliminator. The developers took care to reduce sound loss to a minimum by implementing an innovative electronic circuit. The optimized balance between the boards helps to reduce coupling loss and lower impedance.
