That stable internet connection will come in handy, as the Yamaha WXAD-10 boasts a higher resolution audio output. That’s because Yamaha has equipped its box with an Ethernet port enabling a stable internet connection. Installers working with the Chromecast Audio have had to contend with setting it up using a wireless network, something that isn’t required with the Yamaha WXAD-10. The Google Chromecast Audio obviously precedes the Yamaha WXAD-10, but there are several features that the audio manufacturer has finally brought to the table.
Google Chromecast Audio vs Yamaha WXAD-10 It’s called the Yamaha WXAD-10 and it’s basically a little box that can turn just about any speaker smart. Thankfully, Yamaha has a solution for installers looking to bring a bit of streaming media to non-connected speakers. Unfortunately, that type of set-up was unlikely to impress the installation community – with audio quality limited to 24-bit/96KHz, and it relies on a robust wireless network, rather than the more stable Ethernet port. The most obvious solution would be the Google Chromecast Audio, a small device that can be plugged into just about any speaker through a 3.5mm headphone jack. Thankfully there are solutions on the market. Unfortunately, by opting for speakers without the ability to connect to the web, users lose the convenience of wirelessly streaming audio throughout their home and beaming content directly from their smartphone to the speaker of their choice. These often leave out the ability to stream audio in favour of a better sounding speaker, and can occasionally cost much less than their connected counterparts. Installers may be opting to integrate connected speakers throughout the homes of their clients, but some audiophiles would prefer to utilise non-connected speakers. That’s thanks to the launch of a brand-new Chromecast-like device, dubbed the Yamaha WXAD-10.
Yamaha’s MusicCast technology can now be enjoyed on just about any speaker.
