Yamaha CD-S2000
$2,000.00
Released December, 2008
The Pros:Classy, modern design with a brushed-aluminum finish. Smooth audio quality from bass to treble--great for background listening. Neutral mids with good detail and imaging.
The Cons:Very slow to load discs--SACD and CD. A little too smooth for some tastes--takes some of the edge from punchier music. Treble performance is noticeably weaker than the mids and bass.
The Yamaha CD-S2000 is an upscale super-audio CD player built as a step up from the CD-S1000. It also plays both CDs and Super Audio CDs (SA-CDs), but adds along additional components for enhance playback: full-stage balanced transmission, pure direct circuitry, and superior differential D/A converts.

The result is a reduced harmonic distortion (down to .0017%) with SA-CD playback. Keep in mind though that regular CD playback still registers at .002%. Note also that Yamaha urges customers to purchase the A-S2000 integrated amplifier—supposedly built as a perfect match to the Yamaha CD-S2000.
