Turntable wireless to avr

[Wookson]

Hi

I want to connect my turntable to my avr without cables.

I own a project evo2 turntable and a cambridge phono preamp, and i want them to conect with my Marazntz cinema 60.

In the naar future i am going to buy a streamer also if that migth help.

I know for the best audio quality, i need to use wires, but thats not possible in my case unfortunately...

Am i obligated to use Bluetooth? Or are there better solutions?


Thnx for your help

There are probably cheaper options, but WiiM products offer easy multi-room (wireless connectivity and choice of source).

Turntable/Phono preamp => WiiM Pro Plus (you need the Plus for the better analogue input) ~£200 GBP
WiFi
WiiM Mini => Marantz (Optical, digital connection) ~ £90 GBP

The Marantz is already a HEOS streamer though. I'm not familiar with HEOS equipped amps like the Dennon HEOS Amp ~ £300 GBP but that should also work natively if you plug your phono stage into it.

A wired connection will not improve sound quality. If your WiFi is really poor (drop-outs) then it would help with stability but that's all.

I like WiiM (bias) - it just works. They are also brilliant streamers in their own right.

So if i understatement correctly: connect a Wiim mini to my marantz, and a Wiim pro plus to my turntable. (I need 2 Wiim products).

Can i also use a Wiim ultra instead of a pro plus?

You can get a phono preamp and a inexpensive Bluetooth transmitter.

I allready have a phono preamp, but i would like to avoid Bluetooth because of the loss in quality.

But if i understand correctly and follow Jeremyfife's suggestion with the 2 Wiim's i would get no qualty loss in comparison to a wired connection ? For both the streamer as the turntable?

If i connect my turntable (and preamp) with a marantz m-cr612 or a Denon Heos link hs2, would i be able to send the music (wireless) from my turntable to the Marantz Avr? Because they both have Heos. Heos is 24 bit so quality should be good i think . Please correct me if i am wrong...

That should work. Try it and let us know.

Seems that i will allways need to use the heos app when i want my turntable to play through my avr, i dont want that so Heos is no option for me i guess

If i use a Wiim pro plus (or ultra) at the turntable, and a Wiim Mini connected to my avr, do i get 24 bit music at my avr? Or do i need 2 Wiim pro plus for that to happen?

A WiiM Mini will supply 24 bit music to your AVR. 2 WiiM pro plus models are not necessary.

The only reason you would want a more expensive WiiM as a receiver (feeding the AVR) is if you want analogue signals. Digitally, the mini is as good as anything.

The limitation - which will not be audible - is in digitising the TT output. The WiiM Pro Plus does that to a standard that is better than vinyl can manage

Don't stress about 24bit / hi-res. The WiiM pair (probably HEOS too) will stream your TT signal transparently.

To be perfectly honest, a cheaper Bluetooth solution using a good codex will probably also be audibly transparent. Good enough. If you want to experiment, you could try a wee BT transmitter and see what you think!

I still like WiiM though

As long as your bluetooth can do the better bluetooth audio protocols (Aptx or LDAC) - you won't notice any loss in quality.

I used bluetooth when I had this issue - I certainly couldn't.

Hi,

So what are these people talking about ? Don't they say that there is indeed qualtiy loss? :

Today I received a WiiM Pro to do multi room with my preexisting Ultra. I noticed that when I sync play I’m constantly getting lower quality play back. 24 bit is reduced to 16 bit etc.. Any ideas...

They are saying there is reduced bit rate when playing high res files - EG 24/96 reduced to 24/48.

This won't make any audible difference.
