Pros and cons

According to our stereo system expert

Connect the speaker via MusicCast with other MusicCast devices at home.
The speaker streams music from Apple devices via AirPlay.
Thanks to the integrated DAB+ tuner, you'll receive a noise-free digital radio signal.
This set doesn't feature Bluetooth aptX, which means the set doesn't stream in CD quality.

Top product!

The MusiccastController app is awesome
Sound quality fine
Very wide range of uses
Short side speaker cables

With the transition to another internet provider, the (COAX) antenna signal was lost. Low in a flat, surrounded by concrete, FM/AM antennas have (too) little sense and lead to poor quality reception. The old stereo set (with which there is nothing wrong with it) had thus become unusable.

The search for alternatives (there are surprisingly few options) showed that FM radio will eventually be replaced by DAB + (Sweden even no longer broadcasts FM), but also that DAB + in a flat is subject to the same objections as FM. DAB+ appears to be primarily intended for cars. Internet radio is therefore the future. And that is what this set also offers in terms of radio.

The manual (which you have to download) contains a reference to a vTuner site/app. When setup didn't work, an email to vTuner revealed that the partnership had ended: "Unfortunately vTuner no longer provides support for Yamaha since they (Yamaha) decided to phase out vTuner from their products.". But Musiccast app does everything vTuner app should do. The app (IOS for me, but there is also an Android variant) lets you filter the stations and podcasts by name, country, location, genre and popularity, and you can group them into favorites folders. In addition, you can play all kinds of music services such as Spotify. The app+set supports Apple's Airplay, you can play music on it from your computer or NAS in the same network, but also via Bluetooth and USB, everything can be controlled via the app.

This stereo set with internet radio (I connected it with an Ethernet cable, but that is not necessary in itself, WiFi is also possible) does everything that my old stereo set did. There is a CD player on it, the sound is fine, and a headphone and a record player can be connected to it. The set supports WPS and DLNA so that there are hardly any setting problems. I am completely happy with this device.

Delivery was the next day, but as a consumer you don't expect anything else. What I like about Coolblue is their take-back service in case something doesn't work to your liking. This is almost never necessary, which in turn is due to the product selection. When you buy something from Coolblue, you can therefore be sure that the product is of good quality.

An absolute must if you use an outdoor antenna.

Outdoor antenna desirable to have good DAB reception, (great sound), otherwise nothing to complain about.

Review is 9,2 out of 10.

Versatile and high quality

Handy app
Good sound
Spotify connect
Pretty big closet

Nice set with good sound and many possibilities. Despite the fact that it comes with a remote control, I only use the app to control it. Once installed, the set could connect to WiFi and updates were installed automatically. The connection to Spotify and internet radio is ideal, so that you can listen to your favorite music in high quality.
