Music Streaming App

For entry-level, this is really a great unit. It almost seamless switches between four HDMI sources. It has a fair amount of future-ready features (namely for the new XBox and PS5). It has a ton of source and music streaming capability. But just know that most music streaming features are driven by either the Yamaha AV Controller app or the yamaha Musiccast app (both essentially the same, both for iOS or Android). So this unit doesn't have native Deezer, Tidal, Spotify or Qobuz streaming built-in. It's all driven by a phone app. That's fine, quality-wise. But know that going in. You can't just pick up the remote and switch to Tidal, unless you recently used Tidal on your Yamaha app. But with the remote you can set up favorite Internet radio stations. Other than that, this is a unit that will satisfy most people with a small lroom and a 2, 2.1, or 5.1 channel setup. It turns on when a source is powered on. It shuts off when the current source or TV is switched off. Features that used to be found in units costing $600 or more are now in a unit costing less than $400. It's a great choice.

Streaming music from web

Listening to music through the app is fantastic.

RIght now using for streaming music and playing TV through it.

Great for BBC Radio 6 music and streaming from Apple Music and Qobuz.

Streaming music - excellent sound and very easy to use

Love that apple AirPlay works for streaming music.

All my music streaming seamlessly with the Era 300 but by far the service offer by Amazon Music is really good with a lot of Atmos music and sound more light on the bass give this speaker the best sound compared to Tidal. The wireless connection is the most useful giving no downtime to hiccups otmr buffering issue.

I bought this B1 Bluetooth Music Receiver for my Audioengine A5+ speakers. Streaming music from my iPhone 6 works seamlessly, was simple to set up, and streams in high quality. I am very happy with this device. It is worth the extra money for sure.
