Overview

The pleasure of streaming

If you want to get started with network audio, but don’t know where to begin, or maybe think it’s too overwhelming, the NP-S303 is designed just for you. Enjoy music stored on your PC or NAS, music from your smartphone, or any of a variety of streaming services — all with this single device — with the amazing sound you get from a dedicated network player. Simply connect with your favourite amplifier and step into a new world of audio enjoyment.

Find your favourites, discover new ones

The NP-S303 is compatible with a large variety of popular streaming services, including the widespread Spotify, the up-and-coming Tidal and Deezer services, as well as Napster®, Qobuz, Juke and others — letting you enjoy all your favourite artists, discover new ones, and get music content from all over the world.

Control at your fingertip

Control. It’s all in the palm of your hands — with the free MusicCast CONTROLLER app. Simply tap and flick on the intuitively designed screen, and easily operate all of your MusicCast devices, as well as the NP-S303.

Made for each other

Yamaha's famed Hi-Fi components adopt a simple, beautiful front panel with aluminium hairline finish. The NP-S303 is cut from this same design mold, and when combined with other Yamaha devices, it harmonises beautifully and enhances the entire setup, creating a stylishly elegant audio space.

Alexa on MusicCast

Amazon Alexa-enabled devices — including Echo, Dot, Tap and Show — can now control key functions of any MusicCast product using voice commands. Discover a new, exciting way to control music and entertainment experiences in your home.

Slim size, enormous quality

Despite its slim body, the NP-S303 packs a wealth of knowhow and technology inside, cultivated by Yamaha's long experience of Hi-Fi development. Starting with meticulously selected high sound quality parts, the signal path has been minimised, analog and digital circuits have been given completely separate blocks, and noise generation has been thoroughly suppressed.

Experience high resolution

The NP-S303 supports an extensive variety of high resolution audio formats. Feel the very breath of the vocals, bask in the airy atmosphere of a concert hall — and experience all of the performance as never before.

MusicCast employs a high performance wireless network to deliver music and audio enjoyment. It can stream digital music content from your smartphone, PC or NAS to other MusicCast devices in your home. Audio content from Bluetooth-connected smartphones or tablets can also be streamed to MusicCast devices in multiple rooms.
