Question about Yamaha MusicCast 20
I have a Yamaha R-N803D amplifier connected to 2 standard speakers via speaker cables. I am considering the MusicCast 20 in an adjacent room. Is it possible to add this wireless device to my setup and be able to do all the following via the app: - only use the stereo speakers (what I do now) - use the stereo speakers AND the MusicCast 20 to stream the same source and play the same music in both rooms - use the stereo speakers and the MusicCast 20 at the same time, but each one playing a different source
Helpful answer
I don’t have exactly your amp, but do have the Yamaha AV rx-s601d amp with music cast and can confirm that the three behaviours you want (803 by itself, 803 sync to 20 for multi room synchronous audio, and 803 playing one stream and the 20 playing another stream) is exactly what I do on a daily basis with mine.
You have to use the MusicCast app to be able to « join » the two speakers together, and to break them apart. Sometimes this can be buggy when the av amp requires a firmware update (I now have a firmware update notification mechanism due to this bug 😂) but I would say it works well enough that even my wife and kids can use it without issue. All in all, it does what I wanted and I’m happy with it.
