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!

But the digital version of the 866 is a Roon end point so using it that way makes sense.

Now I have my question completely answered and the problem solved. I want to use 866 for Tidal. Can it directly do streaming from Tidal. Going through some steps in it, I went to " Tidal not logged in". What to do to stream down those tracks in Tidal to the 866? ( I have Tidal account). Thank you so much again!

You are trying to use an amplifier that has no preamp. Try plugging your PC into your preamp or something that has a preamp in it. Oh and be sure to not use any Phono inputs. All the best.
