R-N602  Network Hi-Fi Receiver

Yamaha today introduced the  R-N602 network Hi-Fi receiver, which brings together the company's legendary  natural sound with unprecedented connectivity to virtually any source.  Integrating the Yamaha MusicCast wireless multiroom audio system, this receiver  can access content from a wide array of home components, smartphones and  streaming services.

MusicCast makes it possible  for this Hi-Fi receiver to stream content from other Yamaha MusicCast-enabled products  and components connected to them, as well as PCs, NAS devices and even  TVs. The R-N602 is one of the  20 Yamaha MusicCast products across the AV receiver, Hi-Fi, speaker and sound  bar categories that will be available by the end of 2015.

"The  R-N602 brings music fans a universe of Hi-Fi listening enjoyment without  limits, connecting them to the endless number of audiophile gear and source  options available today," said  Bob Goedken, general manager, AV division, Yamaha Corporation of America. "At  the same time, its sound quality, which is always our top priority, will exceed  the expectations of the most discerning listeners."

All parts and  materials integrated in the R-N602 have been carefully selected and tested to  present the signature Yamaha natural sound from all sources. A high performance  24-bit D/A converter provides 5.6 MHz DSD native resolution and AIFF 192 kHz/24-bit  audio for the faithful reproduction of high-resolution audio, including  WAV/FLAC (up to 192 kHz/24-bit) and Apple® Lossless (up to 96 kHz/24-bit)  content.

Ensuring maximum  performance, the R-N602 utilizes dual independent power supplies for analog and  digital sound sources, as well as employing the original Yamaha ToP-ART (Total  Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) design and engineering concept.

Yamaha Natural Sound for a Universe of Content

The R-N602 offers support for  Pandora®, Spotify, Rhapsody® and SiriusXM Internet Radio and versatile streaming via Bluetooth®  and AirPlay®, in addition to MusicCast. Like all MusicCast components,  the R-N602 supports Bluetooth playback and can re-stream Bluetooth content to MusicCast-enabled  speakers and other components in other rooms when on the Wi-Fi network. Content  can also be streamed from the R-N602 to other Bluetooth devices such as  headphones and speakers.

The intuitive and visually  appealing MusicCast app for Apple® and Android™ smartphones and tablets lets users browse and  access content to play in one or multiple rooms. The app's attractive interface  offers numerous personalization features, such as enabling the Rooms menu to be  customized with pictures from the user's own home while the source buttons can  be renamed or even hidden. The R-N602 is also packaged with an easy to operate  remote control.
