- Yamaha's CD-S300 CD player is built to perform, making your disc collection and MP3/WMA files sound great in your system. It's equipped with a high-quality digital-to-analog converter and can even play files from a front-panel USB input.
Yamaha CD-S300: www.crutchfiel...
Yamaha designed the CD-S300 with the intention of minimizing noise and vibrations. The digital and analog sections have isolated power supplies, plus all signal paths are kept as short as possible to minimize interference.
In addition to your CDs, the CD-S300 can play MP3 and WMA files burned onto a disc, or loaded onto a drive connected to the front-panel USB input. That input also works with iPod, iPhone, and iPad models. When you plug your Apple device into the USB slot, the superior Burr-Brown DAC in the CD-S300 takes over to render your digital files with rich, warm detail.

Bought it second hand and sounds better than my oppo 203. Lovely sound stage.
It's no joke, especially at this price. The USB play features are also a major perk! Who would get rid of one of these?🤷♂️
About 20 years ago I bought a Technie turntable from you. It is great and still work. Problem is you guys stop selling the needle. I found a place that still sells them
you probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Lance Orlando instablaster :)
@Cannon Toby thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Cannon Toby it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
@Lance Orlando Happy to help :)
I still love to play music on a CD player. The quality that I experiencing cannot be matched with other data types of devices.
Hi, i am an owner of this model but I find it highly sensitive and Cd’s jump when playing albums all the way through. Have tested exact cd on another player and it doesn’t jump! Does this sound faulty?
Some say a firmware update fixed this
So, i have a corrupted CD-R that:
• On computers and ok. DVD Players it works fine
• On Sony CD or DVD Players it messes up the time and starts a countdown from -99:59, this starting from track 2
• On Citroen car stereos, track 1 plays fine, track 2 repeats the first two seconds twice and then gets ejected, track 3 and after don't play at all
So now i wonder, what would this do if that same disc was loaded in?
The 300 was replaced with the 303 cosmetics are identical
But the 303 internally is
Mostly an empty box
Vs the older 300
The 303 is still a vary
Solid great sounding unit
I
So it works a Transport too? Awesome!
I'm still using my 1988 Yamaha CDX 810 !
That is awesome! You can always trust the Yamaha name for long-lasting performance. How does it sound?
@@crutchfield
Still sounds great IMO. It does often jump & skip a bit for the first 5 mins or so but after that, it doesn't have any tracking errors at all.
It has a digital out and I tried a newly-bought DAC, which I'd bought to connect my TV* to an amp, and i couldn't tell any difference from switching between the two other than output volume levels.
I also have a KX 500 cassette deck, AX 500 amp (as well as a pair of Musical Fidelity Typhoons and The Preamp) and a TX 500 tuner.
I using a pair of TDL RTL3 speakers and also have a pair of Mordaunt Short MS55 Tis as back up.
That's an impressive statement about the results of your DAC test!!! Do you have any details on the brand/model of the DAC/DACs that is in the CDX 810? The only details we could find suggests it has 2 DACs but no model listed
@@crutchfield
Thanks for your reply.
No idea at the moment.
I will take the lid off it at some point though, although at the moment it has quite a few units on top of it.
I know back in 1988 it was £300 (UK pounds) which was a massive amount for me as I was 16 then !
Still, got my money's worth out of it !
I'll bookmark this and get back to you if/when I find out what the DACs are in it.
Hallo, what is that player built of and how is the buitl quality? Now the successor is available,
You said in the video, that you could use a better DA converter. How good is that converter of the yamaha? Are there better one in other appliances, maybe Marantz or denon?
Greetings from Germany
Hi André, thanks for reaching out. This unit does have an excellent overall design and build. The power supplies for the motor drive, display and USB sections, as well as the digital, and analog sections are individually isolated, eliminating electromagnetic interference among them and Yamaha used ahigh-grade acoustic capacitor, a new low noise/high-gain bandwidth op amp, damping material under the transformer and around the signal cables. The The Yamaha CD-S300 CD player employs a Burr Brown 24-bit/192kHz DAC.
@CRUTCHFIELD hi thank für your respond. I saw the inside of two cd player, yamaha's s303 and Marantz cd6007
The Marantz is full of electronics while the yamaha just has very less. ... but it's this hugh amount of electronic imputation? And: Why is there a 192khz 24 bit ad converter inside? Cd just has 16 but 44.1 kHz... ok a bit oversampling maybe ... but it's this so important
The build is important for sure and a better DAC does make all the difference as far as dynamic range and S/N ratio go.
I don't know if this is what I am looking for ... but I have a bunch (in 100's) of CDs that I am putting on an external HD. If I just plugged into this would it just play them? And could I get it to shuffle the music?
No, this is a CD Player itself, but would not work with an External Hard drive. A Computer would be your best bet, one that integrated into a home audio system. Or you could use one of these to store you music on: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTBc174//p_813VALT2IB/Bluesound-Vault-2i-Black.html
Отличный транспорт. У меня глючит только от mp3 миксов длительностью больше часа. Примерно до 150 мегабайт треки переваривает без глюков. Флешку 16gb использую все норм. Формат Flac не читает. Жаль нет выключения с пульта. Я доволен вешью
Is there a limit on the trac counter when playing usb music? Mine only reads up to 999. I just purchased a newer s303 model and the same usb plug in with the same 2,000 songs, will display song #'s over 1,000(like 1,750 or 1,410...etc.)
Makes me wonder if my digital trac readout is faulty onn the s 300.
The Yamaha CD-S300's USB input will recognize up to 256 folders, 512 files per folder, and a maximum of 32,767 total files.
I have the newer s-303 also. The screen will show a song number over 1,000 ( 1,200, 1,500, 1,700, etc...shouldn't the S-300 go that too?
My usb drive has 2,000 songs on it.
The Yamaha CD-S303 will recognize up to 512 folders and a total of 65,535 total music files on one USB MSC device.
Will it play FLAC files from the USB stick?
Sadly it doesn't. It allows you to play MP3 (8-320 kbps) and WMA (16-320 kbps) music files from a USB memory device (flash drive), card reader, or portable audio player that use FAT16/FAT32 format. The unit will recognize up to 256 folders, 512 files per folder, and a maximum of 32,767 total files.
The new model Yamaha CD-S303 does.
Hi, very nice introduction, can I hook this player to Bose sound bar using optical cable without amplifier?
Yes you absolutely can.
Just so you have a powered sound bar with an optical input, yes. An optical cable is not included.
Seems like kind of a waste to use such an expensive and nice player with a mediocre speaker though
Does it dis[lay track names from any CD format - commercial, CD-R, Mp3 or USB stick?
When a CD Text encoded CD is played, this unit will display the CD Text information - disc title, artist name, and track name.
The unit's USB port supports basic playback controls, such as Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Reverse, Skip (Next/Previous); as well as folder and track select.
Nice 👌
Does this cd player has a output it self or does it need a speaker
It does not have any type of built-in speaker. It will need to be connected to a separate audio system that includes a receiver/amp and speakers, or you can also connect it directly to powered speakers.
Hi! I have the Powered Speakers Edifier S1000 MK II, and I just need to listen to my CDs, I am thinking of getting the Yamaha CD Player S303 and I don't wanna spend more money in other devices, is it worth? Can I Take advantage of the Built In DAC in the CD Player with my powered speakers?
The Yamaha CD-S303 CD player is one of our best selling models. It is definitely a good choice to use and it has analog audio outputs so you can use its DAC and send the analog audio to the line inputs on your speakers. You can find this CD player on our web site here:

Hello. I have one, and it is fantastic! Highly recommended. Also, Crutchfield is the best!
Thank you for the kind words🥰. I am stoked to hear that you are enjoying your gear!
Does it only play apple products or can I use a Samsung and plug it into the USB and listen to Spotify? Thanks
Android devices will not work with the USB port on this CD player. That port is only programmed to recognize select Apple devices as well as USB memory storage like thumb drives
Will the Yamaha 300 CD player sound better than playing a cd in a Sony x800 dvd/cd player?
Both great players! Depending on your ear, you'd likely hear even better detail from CDs being played on the Yamaha or a similar dedicated CD player.
Hello.... I have had this for about 2 years. I absolutely love it for playing CDs through my stereo. But, I have had trouble playing my iPhone (or anyone’s iPhone or a memory stick through the USB port. It works very, very occasionally (almost never) but when it has worked it sounds great. Most of the time, I get an error message that says “ over current.” Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you in advance.
I had to get an i phone and got spotify with it. I haven't had any issues.
What wire do you use? My iphone only came with type c on other end, so i bought havic wire, but i can’t get music on. It says no usb or error message. What to do?
If the music is in individual files under band names. How do you navigate to each file to get it open. Or does the USB flash drive port only read single tracks
Would you recommend this or Denon dcd-600NE?!
If both models have the abilities and control you seek and you don't have a preference for either of the DAC's in them, then I feel like the unit with the cleaner, more lively sound is the one to get and the Denon does have a better S/N ratio as well as a greater dynamic range between the two models making it the better choice
Hi this cd player connect to a Cambridge Audio AXR85 it will be fine or a Cambridge Audio AXC25 CD players
Your Cambridge Audio receiver can work with both of those CD players. It is definitely ok to use this Yamaha player with your receiver.
@@crutchfield Merci
Hi, my cd-s300 reports "unsupported" when I connect android.
Maybe you know a solution to this problem?
Unfortunately, its USB input does not support any Android devices.
@@crutchfield thanks for answer
We are happy to help anytime!
I need one this player. From where I will get. How much price?
The CD-300 has been discontinued since this article was published, but has been replaced by the CD-303. Check it out! www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc384/p_022CDS303/Yamaha-CD-S303.html
What I'm really looking for is how to service the belts on it. I guess I can take it apart and measure them.
The same thing happens to me, I bought a strap on ebay, open the cd player and I feel like it's all direct driver, I don't think it's a strap.
Do you know a good one to get around 200$ less?
We do not currently have any at that level. That might change in the future and this link will take you to our current models to check:

Do u have them in silver?
Unfortunately, the CD-S300 is a slightly older model that is now discontinued, and we no longer have it in stock. But we do offer their newer CD-S303 model on our site here (only available in black): www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc928/p_022CDS303/Yamaha-CD-S303.html?tp=197
hello I have a problem. my yamaha won't start. is there a solution how to reset?
Excelente muito
Muito bom excelente
Sir to you ship to asia??
We are not able to ship to asia. I wish I had different news for you there.
Now discontinued. Oh well....
How about outputstage?
Its output stage was never given a brand or model name. Some specifications about its output abilities can be found in the owner's manual. We keep a PDF copy of it on our web site and have a link to download it found in the What's in the box section of our webpage for it:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_022CDS300/item.html
2020 and no Bluetooth connection?
This player was released onto the market back in 2012 before that became a big thing. Luckily, Bluetooth transmitters exist to get it up to date:

The Pure Direct won't turn off
You should be able to turn that off and on using the "Pure Direct" button on the front panel or on the remote. If you got the player here, you can call our Tech Support for help troubleshooting the issue as well. Their direct number is on your invoice.
@@crutchfield it's at a radio station it won't turn off by hand I'll see if they have the remote
“If you were to look inside” yet he can’t be bothered to open the thing so we can see lol
To me, the CD tray looks a little flimsy on this player.....
Low price range
@@MrSuperjiva Well that's no excuse, really......
@@jeffthrow6892
Its not excuse
@@jeffthrow6892 muito bom e ex elent
Hi! Can I Connect this cd player direct to my active Edifier speakers??
If your speakers have a volume control and a preamp audio input, they could work with this CD player. However, this model is no longer made and have been replaced with the CD-S303 that can also work given the same connections and control. You can find this model on our site here:
