| Integrating a wifi turntable into my existing Chromecast Audio system I talked to Pro-Ject and they said their Optical Box Phone E mod will provide a 24/96 digital signal that would carry a full audio stream. I could then choose any turntable. They think I can connect that to my wifi network using an optical to ... | |
| Integrating a wifi turntable into my existing Chromecast Audio system If I do a phono preamp would I be limited to the Puffin or are there others that would work the same? | |
| Integrating a wifi turntable into my existing Chromecast Audio system My setting doesn't allow me to hook up a turntable to my amp. I currently cast all my music via CCA to the amp. I can hook the turntable up to my WIFI network via ethernet but I need a signal I can pick up on the CCA. I use Music Streamer for my F... | |
| Chromecast Audio iOS media player I see there actually is an album launch button now that I'm using the MusicStreamer app- I'd scrape that last question from the above post but I'm past the 30 minute editing window. I'll just have to accept looking like a dumba$$! | |
| Chromecast Audio iOS media player It's only 8 or 9 feet. I'd hard wire it but it's across a concrete floor/high ceiling and I don't have any way to conceal it. I have a glass optical cable on order to replace the plastic cheapy I originally bought. I'll post the results as soon as... | |
| Chromecast Audio iOS media player I hadn’t even considered the optical cable. I bought a cheap FosPower cable on Amazon- time for an upgrade on that! | |
| Recommendations for music network player I’m currently converting my CD collection to FLAC files and storing them to a NAS Drive that will be attached to my wifi router. I have a Yamaha A-S501 integrated amp and I’ll be adding a Google Chromecast Audio via the Optical input. I plan to us... | |
| Amplifier for home stereo dedicated to lossless quality music The Chromecast Audio is 24Bit/96kHz whereas the Yamaha DAC is 24Bit/192kHz. There is also some setting apparently with the Chromecast for high resolution audio. | |
| Amplifier for home stereo dedicated to lossless quality music I bought it as a refurb from Accessories4Less who if I understand it correctly is a licensed Yamaha repair facility. Since there's nothing mechanical I have no problem with a refurb. Hopefully I'm right on this one! | |
| Amplifier for home stereo dedicated to lossless quality music Thanks a lot everyone-I ended up ordering the Yamaha S501. It fits the bill well and I got it for $400. I presume if I convert all my CDs to 24Bit/96kHz FLAC files I'll be well above the original CD standard which I think is just 16 bits? | |
| Amplifier for home stereo dedicated to lossless quality music The Yamaha Integrated amps seem to be a good fit for low HD and frequency range. I hadn't even though about the internal DAC since the Chromecast is transmitting the NAS files to the amp but that would of course still require the amp DAC to play t... | |
| Amplifier for home stereo dedicated to lossless quality music I have CL60s outdoors and an older Monitor model indoors but still with the excellent woofer/mid speaker in them. I'm planning on attaching my NAS drive to my Wifi router which is will be in the same room and nearby the amp, which I should be able... |
