This is an amazing CD player and worth the money. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that for the price it should have some better integration features to tie to external control systems. Specifically, trigger in/out would be helpful. We added a separate device to determine whether the device is on or off. Additionally, it needs discrete input selection for the CD and DAC inputs rather than cycling through the four inputs. It is nearly impossible to reliably automate the transition between inputs because when CD is selected it starts playing automatically. If these features are not important to you or plan on using the enclosed remote (which is very nice), then you will not find a better SACD/CD or DAC in this price range. It is beautifully built, also.

It's time to elevate your audio experience with the CD-S3000 Natural Sound CD Player in sleek silver. This high-quality, advanced CD player is a product of Yamaha's relentless pursuit of superior sound reproduction. It's not just a CD player, but also an SACD player, capable of playing both CDs and Super Audio Compact Discs, offering a broad spectrum of music options for the discerning listener.
The CD-S3000 is a testament to Yamaha's commitment to innovation and sophistication, featuring a high rigidity drive mechanism and an innovative circuit design that ensures lossless audio. This stylish CD player breaks through the boundaries of audio reproduction, delivering the very essence of music at its highest quality.
The CD-S3000 is equipped with an optimized high precision rigid CD mechanism with heavy anchors, which significantly improves vibration control and achieves precise signal reading. This meticulous design ensures superior vibration control properties and ultra-precise reading, drawing out all the music recorded on the disc.
The CD tray of the CD-S3000 is made of high rigidity aluminum, which reduces secondary vibrations due to resonance of the disc and the high-speed motor rotating the disc. This results in improved audio signal-reading precision and quieter operation. The opening/closing action of the tray has been fine-tuned for a smoother and gentler operation, adding to the luxurious feel of the unit.
The CD-S3000 features a high rigidity main chassis that enhances anti-vibration properties. The front panel is made of thick aluminum, contributing to the high rigidity of the entire chassis. The insulators, which are crucial for blocking outside vibrations, adopt Yamaha's original metal legs to maximize vibration control performance.
The CD-S3000 also boasts an independent configuration of digital and analog circuits. The twin power transformer method separates the digital and analog circuits from the power supply, each equipped with its own dedicated power transformer. This separation eliminates sound quality deterioration caused by interference and noise between the digital and analog circuit blocks.
The CD-S3000 is not just about superior sound quality, but also about aesthetics. The player exudes the presence of a fine musical instrument, with a meticulously designed and beautiful appearance. The top panel and side wood connection are seamlessly integrated, leaving no gaps, creating a harmonious blend of metal and wood. The CD tray is uniformly precise, and the half-mirrored glass window of the display is precision-fit to the front panel, lending an exceptionally elegant appearance to the unit.
The CD-S3000 comes with a remote control that mirrors the simple design and superior texture of the CD player itself. The remote control not only allows for basic CD track selection and play controls, but can also be used to adjust the volume and switch input sources on the companion A-S3000.
In summary, the CD-S3000 Natural Sound CD Player is a sophisticated, high-quality audio equipment that offers advanced features and a stylish design. It's a testament to Yamaha's commitment to delivering the ultimate in audio reproduction, making it a must-have for any serious music lover.
