The Yamaha A-S501 is a two-channel integrated amplifier rated at 85W per channel into 8 ohms, with a 120W peak figure. It stands out for its built-in 24-bit/192kHz DAC with optical and coaxial inputs, a moving-magnet phono stage, and a subwoofer output, features many stereo amps in its class lack. It suits listeners building a turntable-and-TV system around one box, or anyone who wants clean power for bookshelf or floorstanding speakers without a home-theater receiver. Against rivals like the Marantz PM6007 and Cambridge AXA35, it offers more inputs and more power per dollar, though it is larger and heavier and lacks network streaming.

Owners and reviewers consistently rate the A-S501 highly for its clean, powerful sound and its generous input set at the price. The phono stage and digital inputs are singled out as genuinely useful rather than token. Complaints center on its size and on the lack of built-in wireless streaming.
