Yeah I guess if you already invested in the 5v power supply, you may as well use it.

Better go for a E70 or D70 Pro Sabre, if you want a real upgrade.

I second the Samsung a7, and it will support bluetooth LDAC if you ever want to try that.

Maybe you should ask this in the Digital Sources section.

They need a downsized preamp, who needs 16 inputs, especially 7 analog.

$900 was certainly a good price, I have mostly seen them go for between 1500-2000. So you could still come out on top.

Well, maybe these are the reasons why the price was so great. It seems to be in need of a bit of servicing. You should call Audio Classics and see what they recommend to bring it up to spec. I owned one for a few years and it's certainly worth doing.

Get one of these, plug a power strip into it for more outlets, and turn everything on and off with the remote. I use one on a second system and it works well. Amazon has it. Fosmon WavePoint Wireless Remote Control Outdoor Electrical Outlet Switch Weatherproof Heavy Duty 3-Prong Plug-in ETL...

That Emotiva ET3 only works with equipment that has 12v triggers, which neither the Wiim or your vintage receiver has. You may just have to turn them on individually.

I think to get the best quality using the Amazon app to cast to the Wiim, you have to enable Alexa in the Wiim app.

I hate that new truck look, I don't know what they were thinking.

Right Cpt, I know we can always depend on you for a more detailed explanation.

Not sure which wired connection you mean, but I have compared my bluetooth LDAC to my Wiim Pro ethernet wired , and I would say it 95%. Switching back and forth between them, sometimes I forget which ones playing.

I can highly recommend two, take your pick, both support LDAC. So if you use a Android phone or tablet you can get CD quality. Lavaudio DS220, for less than a hundred. Ifi Zen Blue V2 for less than two hundred. Lavaudio only has optical digital out, the ifi has both optical and coax. They...

With that configuration, just as a dac feeding the McIntosh pre/pro, there are lots less expensive dacs available that will provide a noticeable improvement over the dacs in either of your CD players.

Anyone knows of a tech in south Florida that does alignment. I have had three or four 717s over the years, starting with the first one the seventies. The one I have now is in mint condition and I have done all I can do to upgrade a few things ,like the inputs and a IEC plug. I think it needs an...

With so much in the chain it might be hard to hear. You might just be hearing the JVC . I bought the one I had used, so any burn in was already done. I used it as a preamp, straight into my 7270, and it performed well. Compare it that way and see. Both CD player analog and coax into the MDA...

No I did not. The Marantz MMM has its own SQ flavor. So you will just have to give it a try. I have not seen any negative reviews of the sound quality.

Yes I am using a separate dac, was using a McIntosh , but now using a Emotiva XDA-3. More feature, more inputs and outputs, same sound quality at a fraction of the price.

Yeah, those were my early days of streaming, so was still in the learn curve, so it’s possible. It is a beautiful machine, well built and smooth operating. I have a Marantz nr1510 receiver setup in the garage that I still play HEOS on mostly for background music, I think I will try the Amazon...

I only used the HEOS app. Maybe some of it was in HD , but it was hard to tell as it didn’t show any resolution on the display. That was one of my reasons for not keeping it longer. I had a N6006 before the N30, it didn’t show any either, you would think that for the price of the N30 it would.

I just used HEOS to stream and it only came through in 16/44 resolution no matter which service. I had Amazon HD also. Its been a couple years now so maybe they have improved the HEOS software.

Are you using a good outside or attic antenna? If not a good one may help you lock in the FM stereo. I have also found that Tunein stream is of low quality.

Good to hear, enjoy.

Or if you can stretch the funds, go for a nice used C49. The dac should be a improvement over the C47.
