Yamaha WXAD-10 Wireless Streaming Adapter Gray

The WXASD-10 is finished in a matte grey, with curvy corners and a little LED strength meter on the front fascia. It’s nicely made, even down to a quarter of rubber feet. On the rear is a pair of stereo phono outputs and a 3.5mm minijack. There’s also an Ethernet LAN connector if you don’t want to go wireless and a USB 5v power port. The adapter also offers Bluetooth.

Inside there’s a Burr-Brown PCM5121 DAC and Yamaha designed network module, which contains a high precision low-jitter clock to optimize the quality of streamed audio, be it across a network or over Bluetooth.

With the WXAD-10 you can turn any non-network audio gear into a fully-functional multiroom wireless component. If you have a regular two channel amplifier, all-in-one music system or legacy AV receiver, this is all you need to get them online.

Yamaha likes to refer to the WXAD-10 as ‘the Add’, a cute monicker that sums up what it does – you use it to add kit to a MusicCast multiroom system, or provide a stepping on point to add more later.
