Reviews of the Yamaha MCX-A10 MusicCast client

  • 6.7

    CNET Review

    January 31, 2005

    The Good: Wirelessly streams music from MCX-1000 audio server; includes front-panel display and TV output; built-in amplifier; directly powers most speakers, including Yamaha's optional MCX-SP10; wall mountable.

    The Bad: Pricey; works with only the MCX-1000; can't stream audio from Internet music services or networked PCs; doesn't display CD artwork on TV; basic TV-based interface; metal desktop stand doesn't lock onto device; lackluster remote.

    The Bottom Line: The MCX-A10 client is pricey, but it's your only option for streaming music from Yamaha's high-end MCX-1000 audio server.
