@jc4659 If you go with the Peachtree Nova 150 you would use an iPhone LIGHTNING connector to the USBA input on the back of the Nova integrated. This unit is a class D amp + preamp + dac = integrated. For the non-iPhone stuff you have a USB2 input to pass in stuff from a streamer (dedicated audio streamer or computer). Those inputs are on the DAC part of the unit. There are other analog inputs to connect analog device such as an FM tuner. I have these 3 hooked up in my bedroom system. The streamer (bit perfect CD stream) comers from the other side of the house via the house copper wires. I use the Sonnare microRendu to coordinate this last part.
A lot of places on the web describe this type of setup.
https://darko.audio/2016/09/a-new-generation-calling-the-utterly-marvellous-peachtree-nova150/" That brings us to (for me) the nova150’s killer feature: Peachtree’s Dy-NEC USB A input is for digitally siphoning ones and zeroes from suitably equipped smartphones and tablets – that means current iOS devices hooked up via Lightning-to-USB cable or selected Androids + intervening OTG cable. They’ll recharge as they play. "
BTW - if you want an Audioengine A2 speaker I can sell you mine which is now relegated to the garage when I work out. It cannot hold a candle to my other mini speakers, KEF LS50 and Audience 1+1 V2.
