Question about Yamaha R-N803d
The N803D has an Ethernet. If I play FLAC on my Windows computer in any media player, how do I get the output to the N803D and not to the clattering PC speakers? You can access the PC's music from the N803D, but the 2 line display and 4 cursor keys on the remote are really not user friendly. The other way round is more interesting: From Synology Media Player or from Windows to the receiver. Is that possible at all? How would it work, is there a sound driver for Windows or ? The answer to this question would help me a lot. Otherwise a very good traditional device (vintage?) There are about 35000 internet radio sources: Browsing through them with the remote control until I found the preferred 5 would keep me busy for the rest of my life. DAB is decent, great as an amplifier. Internet, either I'm too stupid or Yamaha is somewhere in the last millennium.
I can't say anything about Windows. With the Mac, however, it works without problems. Regarding internet radio: Download the Musiccast app. Then it's easier to search for web radio and save your favourites. Or you can install Tunein on your computer, tablet or phone. Then you can select the Yamaha as the output source. It couldn't be easier.
