Sorry Bill...that's seriously naive. How many times have you experienced software based volume suddenly jumping up to maximum? It's easily done!

If your 'audio interface' is a physical one (with volume pots or sliders) then fine....if it's a software interface then you seriously risk blowing up your speakers! 😖

According to their website the standard firmware doesn't do DLNA..... 🤔 but you can request a 'beta' firmware to try out......😖 hard pass then.....

Agreed. Or even worse...they just use DTS Play-Fi.......😖

Agreed. Plus I've seen the Bluesound Edge for £495! This M1 is way over priced.

"...buying vinyl and never listening to it is much better than buying no vinyl at all" This is one of the most ridiculous articles WHF has ever printed..... 😖

My understanding is that the Zen blue indicators change colour based on the Bluetooth protocol used and the sample rate of the source file. It will not indicate anything if the connection bandwidth alters whilst playing a file.......

If only that were true...sadly it isn't. LDAC is a variable codec designed by Sony to avoid dropouts when connection quality drops.....

Hi. Well basic CD quality is 1411 kbps....so even if you get 990kbps it has still been through lossy compression...just like mp3. 🙂

The trouble is you do not know that you are getting 990kbps... That is the 'maximum' but it usually drops back to 660kbps (or less...) for stability and you won't know because there is no way to know what the ACTUAL transmission rate is. Bluetooth is definitely a convenience connection...and...

Well that's a strange comment...because actually the opposite is true. Yamaha are known for their strong bass..... 🙄

Just reported this on two other posts too....😖

Ignore the few (usually newbies) who don't read your post and just recommend their favourite kit ad nauseum.... The logical upgrade for you would be the R-N800A...so start saving 🙂

Exactly! 😖

He is certainly correct. An old iphone or iPad serves as a fine streamer at minimum expense... Airplay would not give him Hi-res if that's what he wants.
