but basically the Yamaha wxc-50 will be like a Swiss Army knife....
Almost.
But I do think they've seriously missed a trick not including support for Google's 'Cast' Technology.
They could have boasted support for many more streaming services than just Spotify, Napster and Rhapsody then.
Google Play Music, Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz for starters, and many more besides...
It would have made it much more appealing (to me at least).
Plus the lack of physical inputs, just a single optical and analogue input isnt enough.
