Music management for the audiophile, Yamaha's digital music server.
What am I listening for anyway? Fidelity. Quality. Experience. The way the music was intended to be heard. Let's face it the music world has been taken over by convenience and portability often at the expense of quality. While I love my iPod as much as the next guy the true beauty of the portable player is its low-cost and highly portable format. I can listen in the car, at work, or on the go. The downside of these portable players lies in the compression of the music. Large file sizes are "squished" or compressed to fit on the small storage capacity of the portable players. This is great to jam a whole bunch of music into your pocket but not so good if you want the highest possible fidelity.
With this in mind I'd like to introduce you to a product designed specifically for the high-end home music connoisseur, the Yamaha MusicCast digital music server. To start with, we'd like to compare some of the features between the typical portable player (i.e. iPod) and the MusicCast server.
When equipped with Diamond Case’s 750-gigabyte hard drive upgrade, the storage capacity of the Yamaha MusicCast is more than quadrupled over the original 160 gigabyte hard drive that comes stock with the MusicCast. This massive amount of storage can hold a staggering 937.5 hours of uncompressed CD-quality music, which is roughly equivalent to 1600 35-minute albums. With such a massive amount of space audiophiles are freed from the constraints of having to compress their music to meet the limitations of a device, such as an iPod, which was not meant for true audiophile listening any way. Perhaps the most pivotal feature of MusicCast is its whole-house distribution capabilities. MusicCast allows for a music lover’s entire library of music to be heard throughout the home at the highest fidelity. MusicCast can distribute music to up to 15 other locations, including five wireless clients, and each of these locations can listen to their own song independently of the other areas! With this kind of versatility in both audio quality and locality, the MusicCast is virtually peerless as an audio distribution system.**
The Yamaha MusicCast redefines the home audio enjoyment experience much the same way the iPod revolutionized audio on the go. The MusicCast brilliantly marries the concepts of high-fidelity audio, centralized digital music libraries, and whole house networking together in way no other product can. The MusicCast lets you leave your iPod charging for the road while you enjoy sonic bliss at home!
