Amazon abilities but with digital output... Sonos?
Interesting!  Just found this on Google:   No, you don't need an Alexa skill to use a WiiM Pro with Alexa. The WiiM Amazon Music interface is built using the Alexa Multi Room Music (MRM) API, which means it appears as a regular Alexa device. You... 
Amazon abilities but with digital output... Sonos?
Thanks Jeff, ok yeah I've been wanting to try the WiiM Pro hoping it acts like an Alexa, not having to go through the awful Alexa "skills" section.   This is for a small gym I own where clients come and go and are often by themselves. I want them... 
Amazon abilities but with digital output... Sonos?
Thanks for the input.  I do not want to use the 1/8th output jack on the alexa as that uses its internal DAC and is essentially double preamped / double volumed when you connect it to the main system.. "Main system" just means my main audio syste... 
JL Audio SA-600w subwoofer amp for non-JL audio subs?
I pulled the trigger on the JL SA-600w amp and I'm very glad I did. It just works well and is surprisingly "louder" and feels like it has more power than my Crown XPS. The DARO system works so well and easy/quick to use. I really like using the DA... 
Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer
Thanks @mattw73.  I do think one difference is those tracks on YT are cherry picked to be the best sounding/recorded versions of each song. I've had a really hard time finding those exact recordings in Tidal (and I tried some other platforms too)....

Ok Soix thanks for looking. I'll try to do the same when I get home.  I do need more cross referencing obviously.  I've never heard a notable sound quality difference in Tidal vs Qobuz.  Also, i'm not sure how much difference this makes but I do ...

Those are just a few.  If nothing else, the playlists are better than anything I've found on Tidal.  I just play them in the background and discover alot of new music, but when I go to Tidal to play it, it's disappointing.

Here's another one.

Find me any percussion on Tidal or Qobuz or anywhere that sounds this good.

It has to be something other than simple bitrate. If you're a photographer, the difference is like taking a raw straight out of camera image and applying HDR to it but in a good controlled way.   I found this as I was demo'ing my speakers and di...

No it's from my Sony tv's Youtube app.  I have it going through an Anthem AVM70 via HDMI ARC into the Parasound JC5 amp and to speakers.  I use HT bypass so my 2ch is similar except it uses the Anthem STR preamp..   So, from my tv youtube app, w... 
Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer
Well yes, I guess. I just played the album version. But I've never heard such a vast difference.  It's like every recording on Youtube is extremely high res or something.  Go search Audiophile audio system test or something like that. You'll find ... 
Passive subwoofer amps help!
I just ran across a Behringer NX6000 locally I can grab for $400.  Doesn't have DSP but my Anthem has all that. I think I'll try this and see what happens. FYI, the subs do already have dayton audio SPA250DSP amps built in but they're literally b... 
Passive subwoofer amps help!
What if i don't want an amp with DSP?  What would you choose? Opinions? I'll just use the DSP in my Anthem.. Probably better to keep things simple.
