Yamaha has announced the latest addition to its MusicCast range: the WXAD-10.

Known within the company as ADD, the WXAD-10 connects to any existing stereo or multichannel audio system via its pair of RCA line-level outputs or 3.5mm socket. The latter option gives volume control via the MusicCast app for Android or iOS.
