I assume that they are active speakers - therefore the preamplifier is sufficient. However, the AUX input there requires an additional preamplifier for the record player (approx. Fr. 100.- for good quality devices).

Ciao Daniel. In fact, there are only the three levels: WLAN and Bluetooth off / WLAN off Bluetooth on / WLAN and Bluetooth on. Bluetooth off and WLAN on does not work. Greetings Floo

It depends on the quality of the "old" Yamaha amplifier. If it's a really high-quality device, you might get further with it than with the WXA-50. Difficult to say without knowing more details.

Bluetooth connection is no problem. You have to use the musiccast app (iOS or Android). PC: there is a USB port and this should be possible. Inputs: there is only one set of cinch (analogue) inputs. You will have to choose between the cassette/cd player and the phono. Judging by the presence of a preamplifier on your turntable, it should be possible to connect the latter, but this needs to be checked. Cd: ideally you should have an optical output on your player to use the optical input of the wxc-50, but this does not seem to be the case on your TEAC. The main quality of this device is Multiroom musiccasting and network playback from sites like qobuz or Spotify. It is very musical. As far as active speakers are concerned, the unit is intended for connection to an amp or musiccast active speakers. If you have another brand, it depends on their connections. Instructions for the wxc-50 are easy to find online.

You have chosen a Sony system, so it would certainly be more convenient to expand it with Sony components :-) The WXC-50 is a component of the Yamaha MusicCast system. This requires an app on Android or IOS phone/tablet for maximum benefit. Since I don't know if the N790 has a "preamp input", it may be that the volume must then be set separately on both the Sony system and the Yamaha preamp. Additional wireless speakers from the MusicCast system can then be connected via the app or coupled with the WXC-50 to form a large system.

Refer to chapter 8, page 25 of the German operating instructions, available as a download for your "PIONEER X-CM56D". There you will see that there is a 3.5 mm mini jack "AUDIO IN" on the back of your unit. Connect this jack to the "AUX OUT" jack of your "YAMAHA WXC-50". To do this, you will need a suitable audio cable, stereo jack 3.5 mm to 2xChinch-RCA, available at any Media Markt, Interdiscount or similar. etc. Have fun!

The unit has connections for controlled output - i.e. powered speakers (that's how I have it in the office) and fixed volume for recording or as a sound source for controllable power amplifiers (that's how we have it in the music room). If I understand your plan correctly, the sound from the TV is to be delivered to an INPUT of the WXC-50 and then controlled via the volume control on the unit or the MusicCast app. The plan went.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to transfer music to the preamplifier with your iPod via Airplay, Bluetooth or RCA cable and listen to music simultaneously via the stereo system connected to it, including various Musiccast-compatible active speakers, is that correct? If so, Yamaha assures that all Musiccast devices are compatible and can be played simultaneously. I only use the preamplifier without any other Musiccast devices, so I can't speak from experience. In any case, the unit is a recommendation. In the future, however, I would no longer opt for a full amplifier when operating the system, but only for a power amplifier, because this also makes it easier to control the volume via app, especially if you also operate Mussiccast active speakers (as I assume). At the moment, I only use the WXC-50 in the player function. As I said, I am very satisfied with the quality of the device and its functions. The app was also designed to be user-friendly in my opinion. Best regards ax31_11.
