Hey guys wonder if someone could help me. Basically just purchased a pioneer DDJ SR and was setting it up tonight. I am using an Arcam A85 amp and B&W 685 speakers. The amp was connected to the decks with a twin 1/4 jack and twin RCA to the amp. The jacks plugged into the master out and the...

Will definately try this, and yeah the phone could be the problem, will try a different input

Need some advice guys, currently running a pair of 685s and an arcam a85. Also the input is an aux connected to my phone. (investing in a DAC soon) but the problem I'm facing is that the speakers just seem too quiet for max output. Balance, bass, treble etc are set to neutral and the internal...

Original OP here, thanks for the info guys, going with the chromecast and going to use a Y cable for the moment, will invest in a DAC in a while (need one anyway). My phone is the Xperia Z3, should I disable any of its settings or bypass anything to get better quality?

From the looks of it wifi is the way to go, I think I'll go with the chromecast, though as I stated earlier is there still the loss of quality from the chromecast jack as with the phone jack

Thanks! That's what I was looking for, though wouldn't that have the same problem? The output jack of the chromecast would face the same issue as the output jack of the phone or am I missing something?

Hmm is there any alternative to a physical connection? Such as a bluetooth connection? I know the a85 doesn't have a USB port so is that out of the question?

Currently my phone is my source of music, and with no Bluetooth/USB recieved on my amp (running arcam a85) and am forced to connect directly with a cheap aux cable. Is there a loss of quality? I'm running lossless flies due to hi res support on the Xperia z3 but I want to know if the cheap...

I've actually been also looking at musical fidelity m3i which seems a very good piece of kit except I can't find any info in how it would pair with the 685s. Should I stick with the arcam A85 or go with the m3i

Brilliant thanks for the help!

I'm probaly going to go for your suggestion of the arcam a80/85 thanks! I was just wondering if it's integrated or will I need a preamp with it

I was looking at rotel, seems to pair quite nicely with b&w, specifically the rotel RA-06/5 as the 685s seem to perform better with more power

Was it an old Arcam? I was looking to make sure the quality would still be there if I really cranked up the volume and if I added a sub

Hmm okay but now I need to decide what amp to go with, can anyone point me in some good directions I can go, willing to up my limit to 200 and looking at second hand
