Audiophiles hifi appreciation thread old and new

Yeah - I tend to use the app more than the remote with the amp(s) to be honest. The smaller amp in the bedroom can only be used with the app for anything beyond basic controls anyway.

The musicast app allows you to change the source and the EQ without a remote, group rooms also - A feature I like means you can multiple rooms treated as one device.

I'd like to further down the line look at the individual speakers in the Yamaha line, perhaps for the garden in summer but at the moment I'd rather spend that money somewhere else.
Also if you have any audio equipment that doesn't have network functionality you can buy a module from Yamaha that'll allow you to connect it up to the network and be treated as such.

All in all I'm glad I decided on the Yamaha set up. It also helps that the network player I have in the living room has optical input so we use the same set up for films.
