I would like to add a streamer to my Krell Illusiion II
@yags1 - When you setup the WiiM, you did download the WiiM app, correct?  So to answer your question, if I understand it correctly, that app is what you use to control the streaming.  
Improve RFI
As @jea48 mentioned, the RFI could be coming from somewhere else in the house.  What is upstairs, directly above the MFR-260?  And by any chance are you using a cellular 5G internet access point in the house? Just a thought...  
Streaming recommendations
@jcipale -  I think you will be happy with the WiiM Pro, especially if you will be using will be using basic streaming service such as internet radio. ... and @cyackulic , why you are bringing up a $12,500 streamer for someone looking for a solid... 
Streaming recommendations
@jcipale  -  Based on what info you mentioned and what equipment you have in your profile, I would recommend one of these three families of streamers: WiiM Mini/Pro/ProPlus, Bluesound Node (2021) and Nano, and the Cambridge AXN-10 or MXN-10.... 
Ethernet Wiring
Just to add to the discussion, Below is something I posted in another tread that I think also applies here. To comment on a "Clean Network"... @sns - As you said, the WiFi signal is very noisy.  What everyone forgets is that WiFi is a radio sig... 
Ethernet Wiring
@jcipale  -   The maximum  cable runs for cat 5 or 6 is 328 meters. Slight correction... it is 100 meters or 328 feet. Also, I had a friend check on the residential building codes in Wisconson. Plenum rated cable is required by National Fire ... 
Ethernet Wiring
It is not recommended for a few reasons.  The sharp edges inside the ducts can damage the wiring over time due to vibrations or expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.  In addition, there maybe signal interference due to static charg... 
Help with possible left channel issue.
@shredsled  Not sure what you mean by “L/R swap the interconnects into the Rogue” I was just referring to flipping the interconnets (left channel from source to right input on Rogue, and visa versa for the right channel) to confirm that the le... 
Financial Limits of Tube and Op Amp Rolling
or spending that $500 for a linear power supply on a $300 DAC and then complaining and being all upset that you don't hear a difference... never considering that the weak spot wasn't the power supply, but the rest of the $300 DAC.  (Or that you ar... 
Help with possible left channel issue.
So, the speaker is ok.  Next L/R swap the interconnects into the Rogue to make sure the problem isn't with the source.  I'd then switch to a different "input" set on the Rogue as well.   If both interconnect swaps/changes still yield a problem wi... 
Voltage conversion of Accuphase A-300
I'd contact Accuphase directly.  They should be able to point you the proper licensed service center/tech who can do the change.  
Yamaha A4A Receiver or specific pre amp?
np.  Only thing I can suggest, if you haven't already done so, is work with the built in DSP to see if you can adjust out the harshness and sound balance. Good Luck, -Jeff  
Yamaha A4A Receiver or specific pre amp?
@rustyd02359  Sorry, I didn't make the proper connections in my brain last night.   As I mentioned, there are quite a few dedicated "preamp/processors" out there.  However, new, most are going to run you north of $3000.  They are going to have a... 
Yamaha A4A Receiver or specific pre amp?
You looking to maintain the home theater multichannel or shifting to just 2 channel stereo?  What are you trying to achive or make better? Quickly, if staying in the home theater market, yes, there are many.  Just Google "a/v processor" or "home ... 
Flatscreen between speakers
I agree that flat wood would not be any better.  But if you use (for say a 65" screen) either 4 standard 24x48x2 inch acoustic absorbation panels or similar size dispersion panels (like yours) just large enough to cover the opening of the "box" bu...
