Anyone can help with a question in use of Boulder 866....


 

I have just got a Boulder 866 in my hands, a really nice equipment.

I have tested and learned on it about almost all of its different functions.

Now I have a question ...

Have anyone ever made the sound of YouTube from your personal computer with USB output connected to the USB input of 866 ?

I understand signals from PC are basically low-end sound signals but l just have the interest in knowing.

I think the basic question should be Whether 866 can be connected in this type.

I have done but NO SOUND. It appeared at that time seemingly the personal computer and 866 didn't know each other.

Anyone can help?

Thank you!

Digital version.

So great information too from audphile1, thank you so much.

 

To go through Airplay to have YouTube get on is an especially great clue. Thank you for reminding me of this!

 

 

You should get aserver ar some point a pc is not a high quality device for music output

We don’t have to worry about pc as a source with the 866 as it’s impossible to connect with USB. But the digital version of the 866 is a Roon end point so using it that way makes sense.
