    Blueooth receiver with optical out for Google Play Music

    How about getting an cheap AirPort and using some of the Android apps that emulate AirPlay - You'll get better quality audio over the wireless too, if that suits your requirements.

    Basic DAC Question

    So I took the plunge the other weekend and excuse the pun, richer sounds became a little bit richer. I got: Monitor Audio BX6's Monitor Audio BX Centre Monitor Audio BXW10 And some four core cables for when I bi-wire the BX6's - I'm running them of my rather poor Onkyo HT R990 at the...

    Basic DAC Question

    Actually, I think I may have been a bit misleading - I'm not willing to give up the surroundsound part of the amp as it'd be a combined HiFi/Home Theatre system for me. The Monitor Audio Airstream looks good but it's a lot of money for something that doesn't tick all the box's...

    Basic DAC Question

    I've come full circle again - after doing some more digging I think if I'm looking at spending that kind of money on just a network player (I wouldn't use the integrated amplifier) then I'm probably better off buying a new A/V receiver with all the features I want in that. I've been looking at...

    Basic DAC Question

    Just want to say thank you everyone for taking the time to help me. Let's take a step back and say what I'd like to achieve, then work out a technology path from that. I've got a QNAP TS469 Pro (which I love) and serves things up via DLNA/FireFly (DAAP Server) I'm pretty flexible as to how I...

    Basic DAC Question

    Hi everyone :) Firstly, I'm new to this and I'm about to make my first purchase on my way to a descent system (Monitor Audio BX5's). I've currently got a relatively poor setup - an out of the box Onkyo HTR990 and some of those THX Speakers they come with (crap) so I'm slowly upgrading and...
