Yamaha NP-S303 Black Network Audio Player

Yamaha introduces the NP-S303 entry-level network audio player. The times when the CD was the most popular, convenient and affordable means of storing music are gone and it seems that it will never return. To make the transition smooth and not so painful, the multifunctional network player Yamaha NP-S303 Black is designed.

If you're just about to discover network audio content, but don't know where to start, or if you think it will require some special knowledge from you, then the NP-S303 is exactly what you need. With this one device, you can enjoy music stored on your computer or NAS array, music from your smartphone, or streamed through streaming services. In all these cases, a dedicated network player delivers amazing sound. Just connect the device to the amplifier, and a new world of sound pleasure will open before you.

The NP-S303 is compatible with many popular streaming services, including the mainstream Spotify, the up-and-coming Tidal and Deezer, as well as Napster®, Qobuz, Juke and more. This allows you not only to enjoy long-time favorite artists, but also to discover new ones and receive music content from all over the world (*Music service availability may vary by region).

All controls are at your fingertips with the free MusicCast CONTROLLER app. Simply touch the intuitive on-screen menu and easily control the NP-S303 and all your MusicCast-enabled devices.

Yamaha's iconic audio components feature a simple and elegant aluminum front panel with fine hairline finishes. The NP-S303 shares the same design and, when used with other Yamaha equipment, harmonizes perfectly with it, expanding and complementing its uniform style package.

Despite its compact body, the NP-S303 contains a wealth of know-how and technical solutions that are the result of Yamaha's many years of experience in developing hi-fi equipment. To obtain truly high-quality sound, components are carefully selected, the length of the signal path is minimized, analog and digital circuits are divided into separate blocks, and noise generation is almost completely suppressed.

The NP-S303 supports many high-resolution audio formats. Feel the breath of the vocalists, immerse yourself in the airy atmosphere of the concert halls and feel the full depth of the performance like never before.

MusicCast uses a high-speed wireless network to transfer music. You can stream digital music content from your smartphone, computer, or NAS to other MusicCast-compatible devices in your home. You can also stream audio content from your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth to MusicCast devices in different rooms.

The NP-S303 offers Bluetooth® functionality, enabling wireless music playback from smartphones and other devices.

Because the NP-S303 has a convenient USB port on the front panel, you can quickly and easily play music stored on your flash drive.
