iEast M5 Audiocast WiFi Music Streamer
Work to your favourite playlist or do your pre-work morning audio pep-talk in peace, without any audio cuts or Bluetooth interruptions.
The M5 Audiocast music streamer connects to the line input of your stereo system or a set of amplified speakers. It provides music streaming from online music services, your phone's music library, a DLNA compatible NAS or music system, or your Mac or PC's music library. Easily listen to music from online sources including TuneIn, Spotify, vTuner, Pandora, iHeart Radio, Tidal and Napster.
Audiocast is simply a better way to play music. Bluetooth ties to the room, so if you leave, the music will stop. If you get a call or an alert, it's heard through the speakers. With Audiocast, you can set up music to start playing, and it streams through the player instead, so you're free to roam, take calls or work without annoying interruptions.
