    Putting a slightly different spin on this but where is the best place to sell hi-fi from the 1990's? I have Marantz PM30SE, Denon 250SE amplifiers surplus to requirements; also Marantz CD67SE, Marantz CD52 II and Sony ES 333 CD players; and x2 Denon TU 260 L tuners. They are no just cluttering...

    Chromecast audio - equaliser applied before Toslink connection?

    Interesting. This thread made me release why my new set-up was so quiet - I had Google Home at 19% volume. However the same issue arises - should the volume on the Google app change the output of the Chromecast Audio when using the Toslink output of the Chromecast Audio? However in my very...

    Been and gone I believe unfortunately. Packaging long discarded.

    An update. My office set-up is currently Android Phone (VLC and Flac files), to Google Chromecast Audio, MiniToslink to Toslink in SMSL SU 1, then a Fosi V3. Unfortunately I pressed the wrong button when buying the Fosi and have the 32V power supply. I can't find the 48V power supply for less...

    What have I done wrong?

    I meant to respond ages ago regarding this (sorry) but all fixed - but no idea what was wrong to start with!

    Small and lightweight office set up

    Quick update. I have finished digitising all the CDs to FLAC, bought the Fosi V3 but I have also bought both a SMSL SU1 DAC and a Topping E30 DAC. One of the DACs will replace a Bereford Bushmaster II in my main system, the other will go into the Office set-up. Looking forward to firing up the...

    What have I done wrong?

    Hello All, Like many of us of a certain age I had a lot of CDs. Over a number of years (due to a couple of moves when the CDs were in storage) I have digitised them, using EAC. I have saved them to my OneDrive (cloud) as like many people my PC has a small SSD and my phone does not accept SD...

    £99 to get into HiFi?

    The fun is in the chase!

    Yes, budget for the amp really needs to be £150 or less, preferably the right side of £100. The FiiO R7 mentioned earlier is definitely out. Does anyone have any direct comparision with SMSL kit with the Fosi kit (V3 seems best fit for my needs).

    Small and lightweight office set up

    I have only made up my mind in as much as I can't make the room bigger or move the furniture! I would love to keep using the old 90's equipment (which are large!) but I can't. I am having to adapt but size is key. So if there are other small amplifier/renderer/DAC options, that are cheap, great...

    It needs to be as small as possible. There is not room for the old 90's standard form. It is a small office.

    Struggling to find audio cable with 3x 3.5mm jacks on each end

    Cable tie together 3 separate leads if needs be.

    Small and lightweight office set up

    I do still have the amps (and CD players) but they are seriously bigger than either the proposed amplifier and the DAC (both 1/10th volume or less than the old amps)
