Not using their supplied cables.... Could that make a difference?

I've added a Wiim pro plus to my aged Marantz cdp but I'm having no joy connecting via the optical out. It works fine connecting via rca (but I'm guessing that's a pointless thing to do?). Is this likely to be the age of the cdp (Marantz 63se) or does anyone have any suggestions. Obviously I've...

Glad we have a consensus then!!

Just wondering if we've reached an agreed view on the above? Does any transport do the job, it's just 1's and 0's, or are there improvements to be had? I ask because I find myself preferring Spotify to my Marantz CD 63 Se, both playing through the same Wiim Pro Plus..... Thoughts?

I was recently given a large CD collection and an old Marantz CD63 player. Lots of albums I owned back in the day, first on vinyl and then on CD. Two things have struck me Listening to CD's again means I'm listening to a whole album, and reading the notes lyrics etc as well. I'm finding this...

I live in a flat with no sound insulation so tend to listen at lower volumes (no idea what that might be in decibels, but the knob on my Arcam Alpha 7 rarely gets past 9 o'clock). Is it possible to still create a sound stage and separation and placement of instruments at these low volumes (for...

Brilliant!! I thought I'd put the itch behind me, but now you've set me off again..... I would normally buy second hand anyway, so these look like great value, especially if I then trade in the Wharfdales. Very tempting

I think that's possibly the best 'upgrade' advice I've ever seen 👌

Mmm, I did wonder if that might be the case.

Recently stopped working and have time to actually listen to some great music again. I've put together a cheap set up based on what I had back in the day; Arcam Alpha 7 and Wharfdale 9.1's with good quality stands and cables, and a Wiim mini streaming Spotify and Qubuz. It's not perfect, but the...
