The new Yahama's CD-S1000 SACD player and A-S1000 stereo amplifier inherit the sound quality and design of the 2000 series. Both new models are cheaper, £799 for the CD-S1000 and £899 for the A-S1000.

The Super Audio CD player is equipped like the CD-S2000 model, but without balanced output circuitry. It has differential D/A converters for high conversion precision with low noise, silent loader and high precision CD drive, four-part power supply with independent structure and separate analogue/digital sections. The CD-S1000 boasts an impressive 113dB signal-to-noise ratio and a harmonic distortion as low as 0.002%.

First introduced in the A-S2000, the floating balanced power amp section with a high quality preamp section is also used in the A-S1000. And, to ensure maximum sound quality even when the tone controls are used, Yamaha employs triple parallel electronic volume and tone controls. The A-S2000 amplifier provides a maximum output power of 2x 160W @ 4Ω with a THD of 0.7%.
