"If you're looking for a two-channel amplifier for music listening then the WXA-50 will certainly fit the bill." 'AVforums - Recommended'
MusicCast for music all around your home
The Yamaha WXA50 is part of Yamaha's hugely impressive network audio system, MusicCast. With MusicCast you can control all your compatible Yamaha MusicCast products via your smartphone or tablet. Play the same music on all the components or split the sound into different zones for different moods in each room; the choice is yours. The MusicCast CONTROLLER app also lets you operate the speaker and change settings quickly and easily.
Wi-Fi with Spotify and AirPlay
Connect via Ethernet or wi-fi to your home network and gain access to a whole new world of entertainment. From here you'll be able to access a massive range of Internet radio stations plus music services such as the hugely popular Spotify and Naspter. Also standard is AirPlay, making it easier than ever to stream from your Apple iOS devices.
Stream music from your mobile with Bluetooth
With a Bluetooth receiver built in, it's easy to enjoy your music from other devices. Pair with your smartphone, tablet, laptop or PC and wirelessly stream all your favourite music. With the possibility of streaming music services, such as Spotify Premium, Deezer and Tidal, as well as your own music library, you get access to near unlimited music!
Compatible with High Resolution music files
The Yamaha WXA50 makes a superb choice for listening to your High Resolution music files. It's compatible with WAV/FLAC 192kHz/24-bit, Apple Lossless 96kHz/24-bit, DSD 5.6MHz and even the new AIFF 192kHz/24-bit formats. Using a high quality ESS DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), the sound is sensationally detailed.
Powerful sound
It might be small, but the WXA50 uses a 55 watt amplifier and powerful processing to great effect. If you're listening to compressed music files from an MP3 player or smartphone, Compressed Music Enhancer enhances the frequency response for a brighter, more open sound. The clever volume-adaptive feature automatically adjusts the bass and treble levels in line with the volume. Advanced bass extension gives a deeper bass that's ideal for when matching with smaller speakers. Finally, if you'd rather hear the music exactly as the producer intended, Direct Mode bypasses all processing for the purest sound possible.
Wire it in with USB, optical or RCA phono
As well as the wide range of wireless connectivity, the WXA50 also features a USB interface plus optical and RCA phono inputs. The USB socket is ideal for USB stick devices while the phono inputs let you hook up a traditional Hi-Fi source such as a CD player or turntable with built-in pre-amp. The optical input is ideal for connecting your TV or Blu-ray/DVD player.
Compact and stylish
More router than conventional amplifier-sized, the WXA-50 can easily be accommodated; it can even be turned on its side for really tight spaces. The rigid casework is made to Yamaha's usual high standards and, with 1U rack mounting capability, ideal for professional use.
For one of the finest and most flexible music streaming systems around, just add speakers.

Launch into MusicCast
After much online searching and discussion with the local Richer Sounds store, I have finally decided to launch into MusicCast for the first time.
My old mini hi-fi was abandoned together with CDs, tapes, and mini-disks (remember those!) A Yamaha MusicCast WXA 50 now drives my cherished old speakers, links to a new MusicCast 20 speaker and picks up the TV sound output. Setting up couldn't have been easier and control via the MusicCast App is a delight
Music, radio, podcasts and streaming services are now a few taps away.
I would control it via Alexa but I don't want to share the pleasure!

Fantastic Piece of Kit
I bought this after spending weeks deliberating between various amps and receivers and I'm so glad I did. It's linked up my turntables and telly to my Q Acoustic 3020i speakers perfectly and sits in vogue on my bookshelf without adding another clunky black box to the living room.
While the app could definitely be cleaned up a little, the ability to play internet radio and stream music via wi-fi is such a hit. The quality is such an improvement from my previous Bluetooth set-up and allows me to take calls on my phone without affecting playback.
I'm looking forward to investing further into Music Cast so I can make use of it's multi-room functionality.

Superb, Functional Amplifier
Bought to replace a faulty Marantz PM6005 this is the tiny little AMP that could. Sound quality is "Yamaha" i.e. you get a great quality output and it feels natural and punchy. Power output is 70 Watts in to the 6 Ohm speaks I have and it drives them very well and easily pushes them past comfortable listening levels without losing control of the music. It's great basically, very musical. The Smart functionality is good, and very versatile with a great integration of the major music vendors (Tidal personalyou can control things with is "ok" and can be a little quirky and slow (plus everyting is on by default to you have to de-configure some integrations to make it navigable) but the remote works fine and the amp can be operated without the app anyhow. I already have other MusicCast devices and this integrates seamlessly with them. Highly recommended, great bang your buck.

Fantastic streaming amplifier
Bought to improve multi room sound system. 3rd one so easy to set up & use. Quite expensive generally but cannot fault MusicCast system. Delivered on time but slight damage to packaging although no other problems. Customer services followed up to make sure all was ok.... great service & Inclusive extended warranty the best I could find anywhere

Sounds really great with flac files
Using this with a Synology DS215 nas and minimserver as the music server software. Works really well with the Musiccast app and sounds really tight and controlled through Misson speakers.

Spot on
Delivered by Richer Sound the day after ordering. Simple to set up- just download the app and follow instructions. I have not experienced any problems with the app at all and control my Yamaha from a choice of three devices- either android or iOS. Thanks and spot on
