Q: Do I need to buy speakers to use this Yamaha cd?
submitted by Lee mak - 9 months ago
A: Greetings Lee and thanks so much for your question. The CDS303 requires a stereo amplifier or receiver and speakers or a pair of internally self amplified speakers to play music. The CDS303 only spins the disc so it needs to be amplified and put through speakers. Hope that helps and please let me know if you have any further questions. I'm here to help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After latest FW update it works perfectly.
Previously it won't play gapless live cds.
Plays with great quality, even with cheap RCA cables. With professional ones you'd get an amazing performance.
Playing via USB is good but inconvenient - it does not play in date-to-order but most often random.
It does not jump or goes forward to subfolders, at least with me.
You can buy a tiny usb card so it won't affect the aesthetics and enjoy.
Very satisfied

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very well designed, blends in well with the rest of my components, Sound is excellent. Easy to set up and operate. I was concerned about previous reviews of discs skipping. This unit came with latest firmware installed. Did have one or two discs skip, took them out cleaned up with a micro cloth, it worked. My CD collection has been sitting on shelves since the late 90's and some needed cleaning, they sound great. Excellent addition to my home audio system, its powered by a Yamaha RX-A6A. Very pleased.
Excellent Sound Quailty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy vinyl and a good turntable, but I recently upgraded to a 100 watt Yamaha stereo receiver and wanted something to play the CDs I still had. This unit is a single CD unit with great features such as pure line. I am in no way an accomplished audiophile, but the sound quality is incredible through a pair of Polk Audio towers. I would strongly recommend this unit. Vinyl albums can be very expensive, but CDs are mostly $7-13 range and sound so good on this unit
Very happy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This CD player is more than I had hoped for. Pure Direct, Plays directly from USB which is a huge selling point for me. It will play almost any format you throw at it. I couldn't have asked for a better product. The engineers at Yamaha have created a fabulous machine at a very reasonable price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The CD player is easy to use and is clearly well made. The onboard DAC produces very nice sound that is natural and clear. The ease of being able to hook it up to a different DAC using optical or coax is great. As both can deliver 96 khz audio from your usb drive hooked up to the front of the CD player. The control is easy to use and straight forward having standby as an option is convenient too.
Terrific player, lots of value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my front room television entertainment system with a new Yamaha receiver/tuner, wireless Music Cast speakers, and the CD-S303 CD player. The CD player has a USB port in addition to the CD tray to allow the play of a variety of music source files. Great combination of components delivering quality sound. I only wish I had done this years ago... the TV will never adorn my front room again!
Excellent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second CD unit from Yamaha. This unit is fantastic. Great sound, and stability. My only complaint is small, but what is the point of Auto play? The player has to be turned off, then back on with a CD in the tray. This makes no sense. My suggestion is when a CD is loaded, it should play automatically if this feature is turned on. Maybe with the next software update, this issue could be addressed?
Love It

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the S303, sounds great, it is hooked up to 1977 Marantz 2265B, the two of them together make beautiful music. Since I've had it, I've been listening to it for 5 to 8 hours a day. Personally I can't say anything bad about it. I have nothing but praise for it. Great CD player I would recommend it definitely to anyone. I'm listening to it right now while writing this review.Just Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with the overall sound quality and ease of use. Purchase this to replace my old 25 yr old single disk Nakamichi CD player. The sound quality is awesome, playing some older CD's I now hear sounds that I grew accustom to not noticing were missing. Read some reviews about issues with software needing updating but not with me. Unpacked it, plugged it in and started listening.
Controls are simple and clear. The remote is also easy to use.
It was worth the money and I highly recommend it.

This product looks great and is very easy to install and use. As far as sound, It sounds much better than my old Pioneer player. I have a Denon/Klipsch system and with the CD-S303BL it sounds great. Would recommend to anyone who wants to improve their CD's sound. It is also an excellent price.
Terrific CD Player Upgrade

I upgraded to the CD-S303 from a 6 disc player. What a difference in sound quality! It is amazing whether I listen to my speakers or my headphones. The clarity of vocals is important to me and this unit does not disappoint. The Pure Direct feature is my favorite. #sweepstakes

Ok so I have a good working non Yamaha CD player from the 80's. I saw this at a thrift store basically brand new in the box for pennies bought it untested. First impressions are good. It looks good and matches my other vintage Yamaha gear. My amp is a fully restored Yamaha B2 amplifier, T-1 tuner, YP-211 turntable, K-850 tape deck and NS-670 speakers. Its connected using the analog outputs. The Highs are great, bass is plenty and midrange excellent. It has plenty of features that I probably will never use, but nice to have. I usually put in a CD and let run. So far is has played all of my scratched CD's no problems. I'm not sure if it decodes SACD's. I like the easy lay out on the remote. The only thing is miss from my old CD player is the volume control and larger display.
