only recently discovered MusicCast on my soundbar, one can source great sound ,& this is basis of this review & with a highly capable system this is fully realized, with the app installed on your mobile, accessing quality content is an instant hit, better late than never !

Very good, but missing some important features. First the problem: no seek for DLNA playback and no gapless playback. Why is it that BubbleUPnP gives me all that and works better with my Yamaha receiver than Yamaha's own app? The good: I like the internet radios. I like DLNA playback. Having all the receiver configuration easily accessible with tooltips and hints is great. I like volume control from my phone. Qobuz support is appreciated 👍 It's very close to being a great app.

Since last update October 2026, the app is useless and I have no way of connecting to or controlling my Yamaha R-N303D. Yamaha support please help! I am going to have to get rid of your equipment if this isn't solved quickly. in the meantime I advise to stay away from Yamaha NAS devices as the app is just terrible
