How to hook up a subwoofer with an integrated amp?
what if you have your speakers bi-wired to the plinius? i have tyler acoustics tops and bottoms. bi-wired.  or is it best to not have them bi-wired if you're adding a sub?  
is there an (AV receiver) type device that doesn't have amplifier/preamplifiers?
yep thanks. thanks. i picked one up. the pro plus. it has RCA line outs as well.   i have two optical inputs on the Cambridge DAC.    although i seem to be having an issue with many tracks being almost devoid of bass when playing music. i trie...

thanks I’ll check out the WIIM unit. right now the only way to stream from my phone to the DAC is over bluetooth,.   looks like with the WIIM your phone is just your controller and the audio is actually on the WIIM unit  itself and can be wired ...

btw, from your experience can the HDMI output and optical output of a cable box be used at the same time ?   on DACs, do you recommend one?   i found these two, do you think either of these would be fine for my purpose? https://www.amazon.ca/...

thanks a lot, man. you provided the info i was looking for. It’ll be great if it ends up being this simple. I'd much rather go that route than dropping a couple grand on a half-decent receiver. in my current receiver, Marantz  NR1403, i have it ...

thanks for you reply.   my new cable box doesn’t have any analog outputs. (although my older one does, lol) my new cable box does have an optical output, though.   my plinius obviously doesn’t have optical inputs. so maybe ill look into the DA...

terrible bass response / unevenness problem.
