I would appreciate to get some opinions, views, experiences and insights from you fine people on this forum. of more than a thousand partners including: Sonos, iTunes Internet Radio. Performance wise with regards to the ability to fill my room/kitchen with some nice sounds, I lean to Musiccast. Get your own mobile app, branded with your logo and customized graphics. The Move also boasts Bluetooth, but the feather in its cap is a rechargeable battery. The Addon C10 MkII supports Apple Lossless, MP3, WMA, AAC and FLAC files, as does the Sonos Move.

So buying Musiccast now would be a bit of a gamble with regards to future Airplay 2 compatibility.Ĭoncluding with regards to integration with / support for the Apple ecosystem, currently Sonos seems to be the winner. The Audio Pro app is a slick, easy-to-navigate affair and plays nice with all kinds of streaming services as well as Bluetooth. Yamaha Musiccast does not support Apple Airplay 2 and it is yet to be seen if/when it will and what components could be updated.

Total price is in the same region as the Sonos set and I have little doubts the Musiccast set will any trouble filling my livingroom (and kitchen in case of music) with some nice full sounds.īut. And I must admit I'm quite charmed by this solution. Therefore, this sample consists of a Node.js. Because of planned security restrictions, browser-based apps will not be able to connect to websockets on Sonos players. I do not consider the Sonos Playbar to be a suitable alternative, since it's already a 5 year old design, it lacks HDMI-ARC and does not support Apple Airplay 2.Ī salesperson pointed me towards Yamaha Musiccast and to the new Bar 400 and Musiccast 20 in particular. The Sonos Javascript Control API sample app demonstrates how easy it is to connect to a Sonos player using WebSockets and shows best practices for handling Sonos system events. Another downside is the inability to also connect a CD-player to the Beam (would need to buy Sonos Connect for that) albeit I cannot estimate how much CD's I'll play in the future when I have it all setup. However after reading a number of reviews, I'm not certain the Beam (+ 2x Sonos One's) is sufficient to fill the room with a satisfying amount of sound. I was initially preferring the Sonos Beam due to its modest size and reasonable price. I'm a bit reluctant to call my family an Apple family, but fact is we all have iPhone's, iPads, an AppleTV (4th gen) and are planning to take a subscription to Apple Music. I envision to place the Sonos One's or Musiccast 20's against the wall where the couch is placed. The 46" TV is mounted to the wall and the couch from where we watch TV is against the opposite wall, 18ft viewing distance. The livingroom were it will be placed in is roughly 18x20ft and extends on one side into the kitchen which is roughly 13x10ft. I've done a lot of reading into the possible solutions and based on my requirements, I now have a shortlist for the initial purchase of Sonos Beam + 2x Sonos One or Yamaha Musiccast Bar 400 (YAS-480) + 2x Musiccast 20.
