Review on YAMAHA CD-S1000BL Super Audio CD Player in Black for Enhanced Natural Sound Experience by Rebecca Martin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good and decent SACD player

The S1000 is built like a tank. The sound is on par with Marantz. More at the top end. Tight, powerful bass with good base extension. Old Cirrus Logic DAC chip. The display is too small. No XLR balance. 2-year warranty versus Denon's 3-year warranty. Yamaha could use a Saber chip like the S2000 and S3000 and newer Oppos. Ratings must be model specific Revain should change the rating category as not all Yamaha CD players support sacd.

Pros
  • Good looking
Cons
  • Some flaws
