According to our stereo system expert
The Yamaha MCR-N470 is a compact HiFi system with many functions. You connect the set wirelessly to the Internet via WiFi. With Yamaha's MusicCast, you can bring together other devices that support the system to form a multi-room setup. Via the app you determine per room what music you want to hear. Stream music from the Internet via internet radio, Spotify Connect, or Apple AirPlay music. You can also play CDs, listen to noise-free DAB+ radio, or connect a smartphone or tablet wirelessly to this system.

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.

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