Yamaha R-N602 Network Receiver + MusicCast

A high sound quality 2 channel network receiver, the Yamaha R-N602 supports DSD 5.6MHz reproduction and MusicCast. Packed with network functions and built in phono stage, it offers unlimited enjoyment of many different sound sources, including hi-res sources, smartphones and streaming services. Unlike many other multi room systems, the MusicCast technology supports streaming vinyl audio from your turntable all around your home.

NEW MusicCast Technology

MusicCast goes beyond just your music collection; while you can play music off a NAS drive or smart device, it’s impressively capable of sharing audio streams across devices. Any input on any MusicCast device can be shared to any other MusicCast device. Control it all from one app, designed to be intuitive, quick and simple to use. Use a soundbar, a wireless speaker, an AV Receiver, HiFi audio whichever suits you best, mix and match then expand your MusicCast system as time goes on.

Enjoy the Entire Spectrum of Music Sources

The R-N602 is a receiver and network audio player in a single unit. You can use it to easily play audio sources downloaded from the Internet and stored on a PC or NAS system. Or, enjoy streaming music services and internet radio (with vTuner). Moreover, Yamaha’s original MusicCast App allows you to enjoy your favourite tunes on a smartphone or tablet device via wireless connection.

Easy setup with your smartphone or tablet

Use your smartphone or tablet together with the MusicCast CONTROLLER app to operate the speaker and change settings quickly and easily. The same Controller app functions as a remote control for all your MusicCast-compatible devices too.

USB digital connection for iPod, iPhone, and USB

The R-N602 provides a USB port on the front panel for quick connection of an iPod, iPhone or USB stick. You have instant access to all your stored music, and the digital connection ensures that you hear it with the highest possible sound quality.

Wireless Music Streaming via Bluetooth or AirPlay

Enjoy music from your smartphone or tablet wirelessly using a Bluetooth connection. You can also use the convenient AirPlay function for wireless music streaming from iPhone or iPads. In addition, a Network Standby function provides the convenience of having the R-N602 turn on and off automatically.

Gapless Playback compatibility

Many live and classical albums have no gaps in the music. Gapless playback ensures that there are no pauses between audio files. This provides playback with no interruptions, the way it was meant to be heard.

ToP-ART Sound Quality Design

Everything in the R-N602 has been built for maximum performance and high quality. The internal design utilises simple, direct transmission of the signals— ensuring optimum separation, elimination of noise and distortion, and pure sound reproduction. This includes dual independent power supplies for the two sound sources, analogue and digital, as well as Yamaha’s original ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) and Art Base chassis construction to fully protect audio signals from noise and vibration. Moreover, all parts and materials have been carefully selected and tested, to make sure they are of only the highest quality—so that they all work together to provide the absolute best sound possible.

DSD Native + AIFF Reproduction

5.6MHz DSD Native Resolution and AIFF 192kHz/24-bit Reproduction with High Performance 24-bit D/A Converter To ensure maximum network audio quality, the receiver supports WAV/FLAC 192kHz/24-bit, Apple Lossless 96kHz/24-bit, DSD 5.6MHz and even the new AIFF 192kHz/24-bit formats. It uses a BurrBrown 192kHz/24-bit DAC that has a firmly established reputation for quality. You’ll enjoy the beautiful sounds of high resolution audio.

Pure Direct Mode for Greater Sound Purity

Engaging the Pure Direct switch causes the audio signal to bypass the control circuits for bass and treble, balance and the back buffer amp. This improves sound quality while maintaining full output capacity. Shortening the signal route improves sound purity, helping to reproduce even the most delicate musical nuances.

Digital Audio Input for TV or Blu-ray Player

The R-N602 is equipped for digital audio input—with both optical and coaxial terminals. The optical is for receiving audio from a TV, and the coaxial for receiving audio from a Blu-ray player. The audio stays in the digital domain, giving you pure, pristine dynamic sound for all your entertainment sources, from sports and other programmes to movies and concerts.

Bluetooth Output for Convenient Music Streaming

The R-N602 is equipped with the latest Bluetooth technology, making wireless operation more convenient than ever. You can stream music from the R-N602 to Bluetooth headphones for private listening or to Bluetooth speakers.

Simple yet Sophisticated Design

With a beautifully simple and unique design inherited directly from Yamaha’s HiFi audio components, the R-N602 also boasts an easy-to-operate button layout. The aluminium front panel has a richly textured silver hairline finish. The control knobs are also of the same luxurious construction as used on our top-end models. Both inside and out, everything about the R-N602 demonstrates our commitment to superior design and operability.
