I have my main system in the living room along with my 55" TV. I'm not going to use my main system for TV sound. So I bought a Bose Soundbar 900 on sale at Best Buy for TV and Movie duty. I was NOT expecting the Bose soundbar to sound good with music. How it beams sound to make such a wide...

I’m looking for a DAC wit 2 toslink optical and at least one coax input. Anything out there?

Looking for an ASR approved integrated amp or preamp + poweramp combo and DAC. Currently using a Denon PMA-900HNE. Let's say budget is $1800 or less. Maybe Schitt? Topping? Other? Inputs: Turntable with low output MC cartridge CD player TV (either optical or hdmi) Blu-Ray (analog rca...

Interesting video on improvements to the 900 series

Picked up this bad boy a bit ago. Has had the power supply caps replaced. Sounds incredible. Was like $3000 new back in 1990. http://www.mcintoshcompendium.com/Compendium%20Docs/Receivers/PDFs/MAC4300V.pdf

I dug out the echo input i had bought for a bedroom system and am using it with my vintage main system. I wonder how good the dac and analog out is. Next step up would be an Echo Link but it's also getting old. Wish there was a good Amazon Music streamer. Maybe the WIIM mini is worth trying

http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm I think Roger would have been fond of ASR based on reading his thoughts on speaker wire. I'm coming off the unicorns and rainbows cable journey and just going back to basics that work

Found this kit on Amazon. Adding a Rpi 4 to it made an affordable streamer I can use for Spotify Connect, Airplay and my local FLAC files on a USB hard drive. To get Volumio working I set the I2S DAC option to ST400 Dac (PCM5122) - Amp. By default they don't tell you what setting to use in...

I've tried both and like both services. The only thing drawing me to Spotify is Spotify Connect on my RPi using Volumio. Spotify Connect is much better than Airplay for streaming to my stereo. Though Apple does have lossless which can Airplay 1 or USB into my DAC. But is lossless or 256K...

Looking for an older phone that can output 192khz over USB to my DAC. I can get 96khz out of my old Honor View 10. I’m using it as USB C out to USB in on my DAC. Works good for Amazon and Apple Music streaming.

Picked up an Echo Show 8 on sale to use my other Echos around the house. The stereo speakers are not bad for casual listening. I tried the 1/8" stereo out to my stereo system and I like how the display shows what's playing when I stream from Amazon or Apple music. I wonder if it's streaming...

I'm not sure what version of Airport I need so I can stream lossless Apple music from my iPhone to the Airpot and then use optical out to my Rotel A14 integrated amp. I only want to use if for Airplay of music to my amp.

Based on the reviews here, these two are my top picks to replace my Boston Acoustics A26. Any thoughts? I have a Rotel RA12 integrated, Rotel CD14, Denon DP2500. The Focals are $300 more and look fantastic.
