| Recommendations for good WiFi speakers No intentions to play guessing or waste anyone’s anything, soix. Needed to get an idea what the range is, otherwise, well… I’m just guessing. But fair enough - here it is: max $600/paiir. | |
| Recommendations for good WiFi speakers Yep. Rialto by Cabasse. Great suggestion. Thank you. But with the 4 grand price tag, that will have to wait until I hit the jackpot. Meanwhile, something more affordable will have to do for the second set of speakers. | |
| Recommendations for good WiFi speakers I come across very mixed reviews for the KEF LSX and LS50: complaints about tears, dings and dents to the outer membrane; nearfield but not suited for large spaces; no controls on the actual speakers; but also: incredible clear and detailed sound;... | |
| Recommendations for good WiFi speakers Budget? It depends what’s out there. It’s the secondary set, kinda, so I don’t want to spend too much. WiFi probably limits the choices. The LS50 and LSX certainly peeked my interest. My experiences with KEF are mixed. Happy with the Q500s but... | |
| Using Wiim as a timer/alarm clock, triggering the whole system Thank you, Itmandella. There is a wake-up/sleep timer function in the Wiim app that turns the Wiim on and plays whatever music service and playlist you pick. What I was looking for was something that turns on my receiver, when the Wiim turns on... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. Yessir! | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. I was able to clarify one thing, with help from some nice folks over at AK. I think what I didn’t realize was that the 192/24 “limitation” only applies to some of the local/physical inputs, and not when music is streamed from the “cloud” via Ether... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. I seem to still be slightly confused about resolution and bit rates. What does it mean when Wiim claims that the DAC can handle digital audio files of up to 32-bit, 768kHz, and how would I ever take advantage of that? Is that just true for the... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. I ended up getting a Wiim Pro Plus, which I just connected to the receiver today, via Line Out. And I started sourcing Spotify via WiFi. Was easy to set up. I skipped the laptop. I control/play Spotify from my phone and/or via the Wiim remote. S... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. Thank you so much for all your advice and patience! I think I have enough information now. | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. Any recommendation for a good DAC that does both, WiFi as well as Bluetooth aptX? | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. Budget: it depends. Max $150. Streaming: so far mainly Spotify (I may add other services later, dunno yet).. Vinyl and CD: happy with using CD player and turntable as is for now. DAC: ideally both, Bluetooth and WiFi. Any recommendations as f... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. Thank you, mahler123, for laying it all out for me. It's not as bad as you seem to think. Some of the concepts I'm familiar with. But I did get confused, and it explains some things – and it may help me to decide how to approach this. What it co... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. After a bit more research I come to understand that there is Bluetooth and then there is WiFi. And WiFi seems to be the better choice when it comes to hi-res/losless sound quality. Ideally I get something with capabilities for both, WiFi and Bluet... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. Thank you all for taking your time and being patient wth me! mahler123: I guess my questions are confusing as I’m not yet familiar with terms and technology, or maybe I expect more than what’s currently possible. To clarify: I was wondering abou... |
