    RCA interconnect over 12 meters for Pro-Ject T2 Super Phono deck to AV amp?

    If the WiiM support the DLNA "play to" function, it can send the audio to a UPnP/DLNA enabled receiver. Likewise a UPnP enable device might see the WiiM as a server and can play from it. If none of these work, you need a second WiiM connected to your existing amp either analog or digital...

    RCA interconnect over 12 meters for Pro-Ject T2 Super Phono deck to AV amp?

    As you are using signals at line level, I expect 10 m of well shielded coax will do the job. If it fails, you can turn any analog gear into a WiFi source by using a WiiM Pro. It simply comes with an ADC. https://www.wiimhome.com/wiimpro/overview

    Looking for a Bluetooth plugin for my reciever

    If it is about a Bluetooth sender at the PC, get a USB one if the PC doesn't have Bluetooth If it is about a Bluetooth receiver, I don't expect the Denon to act as a USB host so I don't think a Bluetooth USB receiver to work. But do check the manual. Wonder why you don't use the networking...

    Question Transmit phono to wireless speakers

    Bluetooth is lossy compression. Better use the WiFi. If the WiFi input supports UPnP, have a look at WiiM. Some of their products do have an analog input and convert it to digital. Really? Has it ever occurred to you that all todays recordings are done "digital". If you have a good ADC, you...

    Do I need an headphone amplifier?

    Wonder if the impedance really matters. What is relevant is the sensitivity. The only thing Beyer says is 96 dB without any further spec for all models (32/250/600). If this is true, you better go for the 600 https://www.kenrockwell.com/audio/beyer/dt-880.htm Simply try. If not happy, look...

    Bluetooth from Marantz PM5005 amp?

    Get a Bluetooth transmitter. Connect it to the recorder out. Because of this it will function independent of the volume control of the 5050. Pair with a BT speaker and use its own volume control.

    Turntable design oddity

    Specs say 0.4 x 0.7 mil elliptical diamond stylus. Don't think anything optical is involved.

    How to play Hi-Res Apple Music on Hi-Fi

    I think it is possible to install UPnP on iPhone or Mac. Don't know if you can use UPnP in combination with Apple Music. If you can, you have a lossless streaming protocol able to do 24/192 max.

    How to play Hi-Res Apple Music on Hi-Fi

    Care to explain what the relationship is between the question (Airplay2 downsampling to lossy AAC) and your answer, buying boxes from Denafrips?

    Streaming AM Hi-Res via Line In

    You don't unless you run a pre-2017 version. In 2017 Microsoft bought the UAC2 driver from Thesycon. From that time on Win is both UAC1 and UAC2 compatible just like OSX and Linux.

    mp3 player v iphone plus dac

    Depends. The Cobalt isn't such a great performer https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/audioquest-dragonfly-cobalt-review-portable-headphone-adapter.23015/ You can improve on it be it with a DAP or with a better dongle.

    Headphone Bass

    They do have a 5 dB hump at 100 but roll of pretty early. So sub-bass light is probably the best description.
