I used to use a DAC in combination with a laptop, but it's so much more convenient to play from an HDD or NAS and control it via a smartphone. Since my amplifier is also from Yamaha, my decision was quickly made, especially given the general price/quality level of Yamaha.
Use this yourself in combination with a 160GB HDD, reading only takes a few seconds.
Don't forget that it doesn't accept HDDs in NTFS, so format in Fat32.

Excellent extension to my (Yamaha AS-700) amplifier. The sound is very good and the ease of use is good. In any case, it works well with Spotify, Apple airplay and internet radio. Couldn't think of any negatives other than that included Musiccast app is useless if you only have one source. Oh and the included remote refuses to turn the amp on/off on standby. But that's all.

An excellent network player that can handle most streaming services such as Spotify and Tidal. Most file formats such as MP3 and Flac are also supported. A disadvantage is that the player cannot handle all DLNA network servers. For example, SubSonic is not supported, but standard Windows file sharing is.
The sound quality of the player is more than excellent, although this is of course highly dependent on the quality of the files played. But with good (lossless) sound files, the player sounds detailed and tight. There is nothing to criticize about that.
The remote doesn't seem to fit the player at all. Some functions, such as selecting network playback, are not on the remote. The fastand control is comfortable in the hand and works fine.
Despite the small inconveniences and shortcomings, a fine network player that certainly holds its own in this price range.
