The CD-N301 is a CD player and network audio player in a single unit. In addition to your own CDs, it's simple to play audio sources downloaded from the Internet and stored on a PC or NAS system. And the special NP CONTROLLER application allows you to enjoy your favorite tunes on a smartphone or tablet device via wireless connection.

Support for music streaming services such as Spotify and Pandora allows you to enjoy a wide variety of music content. Furthermore, support for the vTuner radio station database enables sampling of Internet radio broadcasts throughout the world by connecting to the Internet over a LAN. 
*Available via future firmware update. Service availability depends on regions.

The CD-N301 Network CD Player has virtually all of your music playback bases covered. This includes full compatibility with AirPlay—which means you get the convenience of wireless music playback from your Mac, iPod, iPhone or iPad, as well as from a PC.

Download Yamaha’s NP CONTROLLER APP and use it to browse your device display to select the source or tune you want to play, as well as to see song information and album art. You can also make network and other settings. The app is compatible with either iOS (iPod, iPhone, iPad) or Android OS.

The NP CONTROLLER APP includes a Music Play function that lets you stream music wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet. There's no need to change to another app to enjoy music streaming. Now it's quick and easy to select and hear the music stored on your samartphone via your audio system.

Compatibility with FLAC/WAV 192kHz/24bit playback is built in, bringing you the sound accuracy with rich expressive power that's only possible from high resolution sources. Yamaha technologies refined over many years ensure high stability and reliability.

The CD-N301 beautifully reproduces all sources as they were meant to be heard, and has a design sense based on the Yamaha HiFi concept. The aluminum 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 HiFi components, the CD-N301 ensures a high level of owner satisfaction.

The carefully considered interior layout includes an independent double power supply configuration for the CD and network power supplies, 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 192kHz/32-bit Burr-Brown high precision DAC, highly
 regarded for audio use. A Pure Direct mode can be selected 
for even higher quality audio output.

The CD-N301 has a power management function that detects when it hasn't been used for a long time (about 8 hours) even though the power is on, and automatically shifts it into standby mode. So even if you forget to turn it off, power consumption will be minimised.
