| 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... | |

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... | |

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... | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. I’m more confused now then when I started this thread | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. I thought there were Bluetooth transmitters which take a receiver signal and translate and forward a digital signal to wireless speakers? Sort of a reverse DAC - an ADC if you will. Or did I just make that up? | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. nmolnar If I go with Sonos, I will need to use their amplifier/receiver and Speakers, correct? From what I hear, the Sonos sound is rather boomy. Can you confirm that? | |
| Adding wireless speakers to my current, vintage analog system. mahler123 Are you saying that, when I use wireless speakers, the sound quality is mainly defined (and/or even bottlenecked) by the speaker’s built-in amplifier? If so, is there no way around that? Do audiophiles avoid wireless speakers altogethe... |
