The Yamaha R-N800A is a two-channel network stereo receiver rated at 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms. It combines an ESS SABRE ES9080Q 32-bit/384kHz DAC, YPAO automatic room calibration with an included microphone, a dedicated phono input for turntables, and streaming over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and MusicCast. It suits listeners building a serious stereo system who want streaming, a turntable and room correction in one box. Against simpler stereo receivers it adds room calibration and high-resolution streaming; against AV receivers it gives up surround channels for cleaner two-channel sound.

Owners of Yamaha's network stereo receivers generally praise the clean, powerful sound and the streaming features, and the R-N800A follows that pattern. Room calibration and the phono input are commonly cited as reasons to choose it over simpler stereo amps.
The Yamaha R-N800A is a 2.1-channel stereo network receiver. It delivers 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.07% THD. An ESS SABRE ES9080Q 32-bit/384 kHz DAC handles digital-to-analog conversion. Anti-resonant feet reduce vibrations, and Pure Direct mode sends the signal along the shortest path through the circuitry for cleaner sound.
YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) calibrates the speakers to the room. The included microphone is used to fine-tune the system to the room's acoustics. A high-contrast OLED display in the bottom of the faceplate shows the selected source, radio station frequency and other information.
For streaming, it has built-in Wi-Fi, two-way Bluetooth 4.2, Apple AirPlay 2 and MusicCast. MusicCast gives access to services such as Qobuz, Amazon Music HD, TIDAL and Spotify, and some services require a subscription. It works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice controllers. A dedicated phono input accepts a turntable, and an AM/FM tuner is built in.
