| Just discovering i/o. Hmmmm. Just looked up the dynamic range measurements on the CD and they are dismal. Among the lowest I've ever seen. They are a little better on the hi-res download but not much. The DR is excellent on the Blu-Ray Atmos TrueHD recording but I hav... | |
| London Grammar? Thanks for the thoughts guys. I'm still sorting out what I think about this band. For the record I don't mind 'mood' type music. I don't even mind some techno and electronic music. I don't go as far as 'ambient' type music though. I like bands l... | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. Question: When I use Qobuz within the Wiim app is it still using AirPlay with its limit of 16/44? | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. I consider myself fortunate in that I hear no difference whatsoever between CD quality and hi-res so that won't be an issue for me. | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. Got the Wiim Mini about 30 minutes ago. Easy set up. Works great. So far no glitches or dropouts. Time will tell. | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. I have ordered the WiiM Mini. We'll see. In the mean time I should probably try running this old Sonos Connect with the S1 app but I'm just too lazy to fool with it anymore. | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. Thanks guys. To answer a few questions: @jbuhl I do not have any other Sonos Ports or Sonos Connects. I have a Sonos Amp and a bunch of speakers. They all work well now except for this old Connect. @dougsat I had an older Apple TV which was glit... | |
| Alternative to Sonos. Update: I have continued to have problems with the Sonos Connect. I have tried (daisy chain) wiring it to the Sonos Amp in the other room. No difference whatsoever. Long intermittent pauses in the music. Very frustrating. I was ready to chalk it... | |
| Amp hum. Update on right channel amp hum. Was changing the hookups on my Sonos Connect into my Oppo (which I use for DAC and CD) and I noticed a little Oppo USB device which I think is a sort of Bluetooth or digital signal receiver that I had plugged in a... | |
| Alternative to Sonos. Thanks @sunshdw . For @bjesien ’s benefit: My wireless network had no wi-fi extenders of plug-in units. Just a modem/router from the local ISP. I don’t know if that is an actual proper wireless system but it met Sonos’ stated requirements. I c... | |
| Alternative to Sonos. Thanks Tim. I more or less did all this when the Boost was installed and it never helped the situation at all. It always showed up in the Sonos app as connected and functioning properly. Having said that, there is a real probability that I did som... | |
| Alternative to Sonos. Well, I might have got it all sorted. As it was configured when I posted this thread, the only thing hard wired was the Boost. And as mentioned, it did nothing to solve issues but I left it in the system anyway. So I decided to go ahead and wire ... | |
| Speaker cable length. @pmiller115 The cable runs under the house in the crawl space right along the sill plate. So it won't be exposed to wet or sunlight or even extreme temps. I checked and the cable is 12 awg with good quality insulation around the outside of the 2 ... | |
| BTO Not Fragile I was surprised how good the sound quality was on Qobuz. | |
| BTO Not Fragile Sadly I do not have that first album although I suspect it was pretty worn out. It spent a lot of time on the record changer. Remember those? Probably nothing worse for a piece of vinyl. The box and gears on the album cover where pressed in relie... |
