For me, Music Cast ist great advantage over competition. Yes, you could have Raspberry PI and etc., but for everything to work flawlessly with more users und in multiple rooms, with good UI, I have not found better solution in consumer electronics.
I had the Yamaha WXA50 for a few months and musiccast despite being hardwired was causing all kinds of problems.MusicCast works faultlessly ! I agree
I don't think it has a pre-out.To current 803 owners, how do you connect power amp to this unit? When using just Out on the back, I have no volume control and blasted my speakers. Is there a setting in menu to make them preamp Out?
How did you get Tunein on your 803? Mine does not show that app and Musicacst does not list it as supported.I do not know about this Airable technology, my 803 has the Tunein radio portal.
He didn't... Yamaha used vTuner but they switched to Airable as vTuner had issues and started charging it's services in mid 2019.Ii

of course if you are running Tunein on your phone and just pushing it to the Yamaha via Airplay or Bluetooth that completely different.
Service is Airable whose owner is Tune in GmbH.Got my 803 like 2 years ago, with Tunein listed in the Musiccast.
Answer me this. If analog input line of amplifier is rated to 100 dB what's the use of 120 dB SINAD DAC? To have a headroom? You do realise that you introduce 3~5 dB noise with even great shot cable patch you connect.buy cheap discrete devices that serve your streaming purposes and get rid of them when they dont
eg. i try not buy buy any amps with digital dacs inside if i know discrete dacs are better
