… Viel Lob verdient die Ausstattung, so gut ist kein anderer Testkandidat mit Buchsen bestückt. Außer einem iPod-Dock in der Oberseits gibt´s auch einen USB-Anschluss, sodass ein USB-Stick MP3- oder WMA-Dateien zuspielen kann. …

    Auf "10 Jahre Pianocraft" darf Yamaha getrost etwas stolz sein. Mehr Musik aus noch kleineren Abmessungen ist fast nicht möglich, wie die neue MCR-550 wieder einmal eindrucksvoll beweist. Eine komplette HiFi-Anlage inklusive hochwertigen Lautsprechern und sogar mit iPod-Dock im Micro-Format - was will man mehr für faire 460 Euro?
