RACK SHELF FRIENDLY

SUPERIOR AUDIO TECHNOLOGY

Yamaha’s relentless pursuit of sonic purity is clearly evident in the engineering of the WXC-50. The preamp circuitry uses the same high-performance ESS digital-to-analog converter (DAC) found in high-end Yamaha AV receivers and a proprietary power supply ground configuration prevents sound degradation. A 48-bit digital volume control provides much greater precision and quality than conventional controls. A highly-rigid metal chassis supplies the stability necessary for clear, powerful music reproduction.

HIGH-RESOLUTION AUDIO

The WXC-50 supports high-resolution audio –including FLAC/WAV/AIFF up to 192 kHz/24-bit, Apple Lossless (ALAC) up to 96 kHz/24-bit and DSD up to 5.6 MHz – for more accurate reproduction of sonic details, presence and atmosphere.

YAMAHA PROPRIETARY SOUND PROCESSING

The Compressed Music Enhancer greatly improves sound reproduction from smartphones or other compressed sources, like MP3 files. Volume-adaptive EQ automatically adjusts the bass/treble balance according to the volume level. Advanced Bass Extension Processing provides a deeper, richer low-end sound — great for use with compact or in-wall speakers. Direct playback mode allows you to play back high-resolution audio sources just as they are, without any processing.

PLAYER MODE

If you want to adjust volume from a connected Hi-Fi amp or AV receiver, the WXC-50 allows you to turn off “preamp” mode and use the device as a network audio player. Switching to “player” mode bypasses the volume control and any processing, allowing direct playback of high-resolution audio.

ONE-TOUCH CONTROLS

Pressing any button on the front panel turns the unit on and initiates playback of the previously selected source providing quick and easy access to your favourite music.

The WXC-50 also comes with an ultra-slim remote offering six presets, so you can quickly access your favourite Internet radio stations even when your smartphone or tablet’s not handy.

PRO-GRADE CONNECTIVITY AND CONTROL

The WXC-50 supports professional-grade features including:

Wired Ethernet port
Wireless off switch
Optical and analog inputs
Digital optical and coax outputs
Subwoofer out
Trigger in/out
Remote in

LOW POWER CONSUMPTION

The WXC-50 consumes less than two watts of power in standby mode. When the power is on, power consumption is still a low 5 W, and even when used for long periods, power consumption is environmentally friendly. In addition, the Auto Power Standby feature lets you save energy by automatically turning the power off after two, four, eight or 12 hours.
