    How to control Cocktail Audio streamer with MusicX App

    I went to the router, and on the LAN connections, the N25 server is not displayed. So it seems that this is the issue. However, it shows on the N25 display, on the network info, an IP Address that was given by the router to the server. I can listen to Internet Radio. However, the N25 server is...

    Question Budget/Midrange DAC to revamp old Pioneer Amplifier

    Thank you for your advice. It really makes more sense a streamer already with a DAC. However, I am wondering? What about storage and CD ripping?

    Question Budget/Midrange DAC to revamp old Pioneer Amplifier

    Question Budget/Midrange DAC to revamp old Pioneer Amplifier

    Hi. I have an old Pioneer Amplifier, from the 90's, the Pioneer DC-Z94 and also a pair of speakers. Since it still works, I would like to use it for listening to digital audio. So at least I have to buy a DAC. I wonder if any of these, the Pro-Ject Pre-Box S2 Digital or the Cambridge Audio...
