Best Cheap DAC Streamer
I use a WiiM Pro Plus with an Amazon Echo dot to control it with voice commands. I went with the Pro Plus because my Micromega intergrated has a decent Dac built in. If your amp has a decent DAC you can go with the Pro Plus , if not go with the Ul... 
Vinyl Care
Vevor makes an Ultrasonic record cleaner you can get a little over $100 that works well. It cleans 4 to 8 albums at a time depending on which model is used. I purchased to clean about 150 albums and it worked well. I'll use it to re-clean the albu... 
anyone familiar with the Aune S10N Network Streamer Multi Player
  lanx0003, I just ended up getting a WiiM Pro due to the fact I can voice control it with my echo dot. And I've recently found out it has a 12V trigger which I now use to turn amp on/off ( sleep timer )with Alexa commands.  
How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room?
I have aprox. the same size room 12 1/2 x 12 1/2, I’m running AE 509’s, they’re not overpowering at all and I only have them 4 inches from the rear wall. The longer I play them, the more I enjoy them. If you have a chance to audition the AE 509’s ... 
Thoughts on using a smart plug on intergrated amp.
jeffbij, I'm using the WiiM pro ( 12V trigger ) which I control by Amazon Echo, do not need to use the smart plug for this. This combo works great together. I tell Alexa to shut off in 20 minutes and now the music stops and the amp shuts off. I no... 
any decent 12Vdc power supplies that can be used as a 12V trigger?
Got the cord for the WiiM pro from Amazon and it works great. I believe a switched mode 12V power supply would work with the smart plug too, the power supply I got probably would work but it takes a while to discharge so the voltage drops enough t...

any decent 12Vdc power supplies that can be used as a 12V trigger?
I also discovered by e-mailing Micromega, Thier triggers are labeled backward due to a manufacturing issue, so I was plugged in to the output instead of the input. Waiting on my 2.5mm to 3.5mm trigger cable to come in tomorrow so I can try it with...

Thoughts on using a smart plug on intergrated amp.
jeffbij, I just discovered my WiiM pro has a 12V trigger, all I need to get is a 2.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable. As far as the power supply I tried, I was told that with no load it’ll show the higher voltage. I hooked it up , but it did not turn the am...
