![]() ![]() It won’t cost as much as other (standalone) music streamers. ![]() No price has been announced, but Yamaha has told me it wants the Add to be an accessible, mass-market item. The Yamaha WXAD-10 will be released in May. In 2013, QOBUZ became the first music service to offer 16-bit FLAC streaming on SONOS. ![]() You can also share music with other MusicCast devices throughout your home, much like Sonos systems. Now, it is continuing to expand access to higher- resolution streaming on sONOS by introducing 24-bit streaming, compatible with most products on the SONOS S2 platform, which supports up to 48 kHz/24-bit audio resolution. If you’re not subscribed to a streaming service, you can also bring your own music via Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay, while DLNA means you can play music from local NAS drives. It also has an ethernet socket, rather than relying on Wi-Fi like the Chromecast does. There’s a Burr-Brown DAC inside, it supports hi-res audio up to 24bit/192kHz, and analogue outputs comprise 3.5mm and RCA. I have shifted most of my listening to streaming services, for both the wide selection and partial availability of UHD (with nearly full availability of 16/44 uncompressed). The BluOS app has not done a good job of integrating Amazon Music. It’s similar to what the Google Chromecast Audio does, but the Yamaha WXAD-10 aims for higher music quality. Sonos, on the other hand, has done it flawlessly. You control all the sources within the MusicCast app. The WXAD-10, internally nicknamed ‘the Add’, lets you stream from Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Napster, Juke and Qobuz. MaQobuz, the music lovers’ Hi-Res streaming and download provider, is now the first music service to deliver 24-bit Hi-Res audio streaming on Sonos. After opening the application, select More, then Add Music Services. If you have an old pair of active speakers or a stereo system, and you don’t want to replace it just to add Spotify to the equation, then you’re the target audience. The Yamaha WXAD-10 is the latest in the company’s MusicCast line of music streamers, and it brings streaming and multiroom audio skills to anything with an analogue input. I think the Amazon Music Service was added by OP (as an edit) after GuitarSuperstar began his reply - there were only three services listed initially. 4 services were listed and Amazon has hi res music streaming. Sonos targets audiophiles by adding qobuz I had the pleasure to review the Sonore Signature Optical Rendu SE a couple of years ago, a device that had a built-in multi-mode optical digital input. Yamaha wants to bring your old audio kit up to date by adding online skills. All three services are good services, but out of the three, only Qobuz offers Hi-Res music streaming on Sonos. ![]()
