The RP-U100 is a merger of that consumer-electronics mainstay, the receiver, with technologies normally found only in multimedia computer systems. The idea is to bridge the gap between the two, and provide the basis for a quality computer-audio experience. Yamaha considers the RP-U100 a computer accessory suitable for nearfield listening. As they have pointed out, they make other products for home-theater and audio-only use.
First, as you might expect, the RP-U100 combines an AM/FM tuner with two channels of amplification. It is rated to deliver 30Wpc and has a specified frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz with 6 ohms nominal impedance. The RP-U100 also includes three RCA inputs for external devices (labeled "PC," "AUX1," and "AUX2") and includes a number of DSP effects that attempt to model the soundfield of small clubs, concert halls, and the like. Additionally, the RP-U100 provides "Virtual Dolby Digital," a technique for attempting to reproduce the psychoacoustic effects of a six-speaker AC3 system using DSP effects.
The RP-U100’s PC input, however, is special. Rather than using the RCA connectors, the RP-U100 can also connect directly to the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on computers so equipped, bypassing and replacing the computer’s sound card entirely. This connection method requires the use of a USB-compliant operating system.
