Yamaha today introduced the R-N301 network stereo  receiver that provides the company's Natural Sound Hi-Fi audio reproduction and  the latest network and mobile connectivity features—including a simplified app  control—to discerning music enthusiasts looking to move into the new era of audio  enjoyment.

The R-N301 also provides consumers with AirPlay®  for quick streaming of music from iOS devices and iTunes®, as well as playback  of seemingly limitless online content from music services like Pandora®,  Spotify and Internet radio. With full DLNA® connectivity, users can  play their favorite music from compatible computers or network storage devices  located on their home networks.

"The R-N301 is the latest illustration of Yamaha's  long-standing strength in audio reproduction and our commitment to delivering  our Natural Sound concept to today's consumers," said Bob Goedken, general  manager, AV Division, Yamaha Corporation of America. "In this model, we  integrate our latest market-leading innovations to create the best listening  experiences from all sources, including high resolution digital files."

The R-N301 boasts a high performance amplifier with  100 watts x 2-channels of power. The internal DAC is compatible with FLAC / WAV  files up to 192 kHz / 24-bit and delivers rich accurate sound with expressive  power from the ever-increasing amount of high-resolution music content  available.

The R-N301 is equipped with digital audio inputs that  keep the signal in the digital domain for pristine dynamic sound, which is  ideal for playback of audio from an HDTV or Blu-ray Disc™ player.

To simplify playback of network music content, Yamaha provides the free NETWORK  PLAYER CONTROLLER app for the R-N301. This app offers control and Music Play  functionality that allows both iOS and Android™ smartphone and tablet owners to easily  access and stream music to the receiver.

This model's elegant design includes a richly textured  front panel with a black hairline finish and sturdy control knobs and buttons  that reflect the same luxurious construction Yamaha employs for its top-end  Hi-Fi components.
