The Yamaha CD-N500 CD player beautifully reproduces all sources as they were meant to be heard, and has a design sense based on the Yamaha Hi Fi concept. The aluminium front panel with its simple yet high-quality hairline finish features a top-grade design with a rotary encoder that's convenient for network audio control. Perfectly matching other Yamaha Hi Fi components, the Yamaha CD-N500 party ensures a high level of owner satisfaction.

The carefully considered interior layout of the Yamaha CD-N500 CD player includes left-right symmetrical audio circuitry and provides the shortest circuit path for audio signal travel, allowing sound to be faithfully reproduced without loss of audio signal purity. Furthermore, all parts were rigorously selected, including the 192 KHz/32-bit Burr-Brown high precision DAC, highly regarded for audio use.

Compatible with the FLAC 192kHz/24-bit and Apple Lossless formats, the Yamaha CD-N500 CD player uses Yamaha's advanced network audio technology to ensure optimum performance with high-resolution audio sources. It also features gapless play, which eliminates the pauses usually heard when continuous music (classical, live album) is transmitted from a network source. A Pure Direct mode can be selected for even higher quality audio output.
