Unleash your Hi-Fi
The WXC-70A adds premium wireless streaming, versatile source connectivity and MusicCast app control to the integrated amplifier or receiver you already own — without disturbing the character of the system you've built. Same compact aluminium chassis and same audiophile-grade ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DAC as the WXA-70A, running 384 kHz / 32-bit, in Yamaha's DAC on Pure Ground configuration.
Two operating modes let it suit the system it joins: Pre Amp Mode brings Yamaha's processing and YPAO room calibration to bear, while Player Mode bypasses the preamp stages entirely for a purist Hi-Fi chain.
