The Yamaha is supposed to have pulse width modulation, which if it is fast

Powerwise, yes.
As a sinewave arcs up to a peak then arcs down, the pulse widths become
progressively wider then narrower. The average of the area under the
curve approaches the power of of the sinewaveform. A simplified
approximation...
