Yamaha presents a means to connect existing audio systems to a MusicCast multirooom streaming network-- the WXAD-10 MusicCast adapter, also known within Yamaha as the ADD.

Yamaha WXAD-10 adapterThe WXAD-10 is a small device powered by a single USB cable. It connects to audio equipment via phono stero or 3.5mm line out, and is compatible with high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz FLAC, WAV and AIFF, and 24-bit/92kHz ALAC audio files.

In addition to Bluetooth connectivity and Airplay compatibility it also handles the streaming of Spotify, Tidal and Deezer from the MusicCast mobile device app. For the curious, inside the device is a Burr-Brown DAC and a custom-made network module.

The Yamaha WXAD-10 hits the market from May 2017.
