    Metal Dome vs Soft Dome Tweeters.

    I have now had the experiance of two metal dome speakers (Mission sx 1's & MA Bronze 2's) and i'm just not convinced by metal dome tweeters at least in budget designs.

    Moving on from an all in one?

    How about the Yamaha R-N301. Has everything you need and only £220! I have one in my bedroom set up and it's brilliant! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yamaha-R-N301-Network-Receiver-Black/dp/B00OBM43I8/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1486144706&sr=1-3&keywords=yamaha+receiver

    I have the A-S201 in my bedroom setup and it doesn't have loudness controls either just a pure direct button. Sounds very lush and smooth, just the way i like it!

    I'm not looking for super loud but comfortable loudness at around 7 on the dial (on a scale of 1-10).

    can i drive headphones loud with the chromecast audio?

    I want to get the AKG K701's which are 62 ohms. Will the chromecast audio drive them sufficiently? Currently using AKG K512 mk ii's and at full volume it blows my head off! There 32 ohms though.

    Optical cable question

    Yes dave i only get 24/96 with my other cables (0.6m and 1m). The cable that worked perfectly wasn't even expensive, only £5 i think. The other ones are £20 and £30 so you would expect them to perform better.
