Qobuz Announces Integration With Yamaha MusicCast (Free Firmware Update)

We’re excited to announce that Qobuz is now available on Yamaha MusicCast with compatible devices.

Six current Yamaha home audio products, including a sound bar, wireless speakers and AV receivers, now offer Qobuz Hi-Res streaming up to 24-bit/192kHz quality.

Access to Qobuz is available through the Yamaha MusicCast app, which allows playback on either a single device or on multiple MusicCast devices throughout the home.

Release schedule

The firmware updates and MusicCast app update began on May 14. Users are automatically prompted to install the firmware via the MusicCast app.

May 14: MusicCast 20, MusicCast 50

May 21: RX-Vx85/RX-Ax80 AV Receivers and XDA-QS5400 Multi-Room Streaming Amplifier

End of May/Early June (TBD): MusicCast BAR 400

Other Points to Note

MusicCast does not support gapless playback and cannot fast forward in a track. That being said, these features will work using a 3rd party app like Audirvana, BubbleUPnP, or mConnect.
