Digital ToP-ART

Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio

Reproduction Technology) is the

name Yamaha has given to a design philosophy whose goal is to maximize digital quality while minimizing analog circuitry. The culmination of the best digital engineering and design possible today, it brings together several key elements to create the best-sounding, easiest-to-use A/V components available

Advanced Decoding Circuitry

Including Yamaha’s Exclusive

YSS-938 32-Bit Floating Point

DTS Neo:6 decoding with extreme accuracy, as well as all digital sound field processing. It also outperforms other systems in the precise synchronization of images and sound. Its low 3V power consumption minimizes digital noise.

96kHz/24-Bit DACs for All Channels

The RX-V440’s vitally important digital-to- analog converters use an extremely 96kHz/24-bit high performance. They perform accurate sound field reproduction for high quality multi- channel sources, and for two-channel stereo, provide outstanding separation and precise musical delineation. They deliver superior low level linearity with

excellent full-scale performance under varying operation conditions.

4-Layer DSP Processing Board

All of the DSP IC chips and related circuitry are located together on a 4-layer board. This is the first time a 4-layer board has been used, and it provides a number of advantages. The dimensions are smaller (2/3 previous types), so signal paths are shorter and there is more
