Just bought one of my best ever HiFi purchases, a Yamaha WXC 50 pre amp with Streaming capabilities. This little beauty streams seamlessly from my NAS, it has Bluetooth, Airplay, Internet radio, Quobuz, Spotify and Tidal etc. It works wirelessly or wired and here’s the best bit, it has optical in and out!
I run my phono stage into the aux in and it sounds wonderful. The Music cast control app isn’t particularly fancy but it does the job, I had it all in and working within 5minutes.
I was previously using Roon Rock on an Intel NUC together with a DSPeaker antimode and I prefer the Yamaha. All this for £250! It’s the bargain of the year. I got mine from Amazon with the intention of returning it if I wasn’t impressed but it is not going anywhere. My Golds have never sounded better.
