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
Quantization LSI
The decoding
circuitry performs
Dolby Pro Logic II,
Dolby Digital,
Dolby Digital EX,
DTS Digital
Surround, DTS-ES
(DTS-ES Matrix 6.1
and DTS-ES
Discrete 6.1), and
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
