Cheers, dude. Yes it's a strong contender, assuming it sounds good. Heard good things about the Yamaha Musicast multiroom. I've heard Yamaha amps can be a bit bright. Anyone have speaker recommendations for this amp?
Timmy2wheels-
Oh wow - now that's a question.
For both the amp and the speakers you may be best to pop into a store and give them a listen.
Out of the few I tried the Yamaha sounded best to my ears.
In terms of speakers I'd suggest you work out how much you can spend and work back from there, floorstanders, book shelves, there's an awful lot of choice. That's part of the fun!

The streaming through the yamaha is a piece of cake, we've now got 3 yamaha amps set up throughout the house and spotify is just a single click, as are most of the functions.
On the RN803 you'd need a separate CD player - https://www.richersounds.com/yamaha-cds300-blk.html that model has optical out the 803 has optical so you could hook it up that way.
If space is a premium you may want to look into a smaller amp, I picked up the WXA50 - a smaller network player just before Christmas and it's no bigger than a couple of dvd cases. In your case it also has optical out so again could be hooked up to the TV.
