Qobuz integrates with Yamaha MusicCast app on a range of Yamaha home audio products, including a sound bar, wireless speakers and AV receivers enabling streaming up to 24bit/192kHz. 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.
The following Yamaha audio products have been updated. Users are automatically prompted to install the firmware via the MusicCast app.

One point of note is that MusicCast does not support gapless playback and cannot fast forward in a track. However, these features will work using a 3rd party app like Audirvana, BubbleUPnP, or mConnect.
