The Munich M1 does. They likely have 1 app to control all different streamers.

Of course not. That is exactly the reason why they don't do it. If you read the screen a bit more carefully, you will see it says Setting for Internal DAC This controls the RCA and the wired headphone out (that is analog, has nothing to do with streaming). Do you really want a headphone out...

Excellent idea. If I was in need of a streamer (instead of using mobile or PC) I would settle for a $89 device like the WiiM mini. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/wiim-mini-review-streamer.33099/ The DAC is average but any decent external DAC with Toslink input can get...

That is my feeling as well, streaming audio services comes and go, revamp their interface so pretty soon you have a nice brick. Have a look at the WiiM product range, it covers all your needs at a decent price tag. If you use a streamer, you might as well decide not to use a USB stick but pull...

XLR is the standard in the pro-world for decades. Most important is that it is balanced. You have the signal (hot), the inverse of the signal (cold) and the signal ground. Most of the time the source itself is single ended (of course) so a balun is used to create the balanced signal. At the...

I often read postings like "I have read all the reviews on the internet and all reviewers agree, this is a neutral headphone. I bought it. Why is it so horribly boring?" Indeed, if you are 20-30 year old, you are raised with todays consumer gear. You are used to a V shaped frequency response...

My piece of armchair enginering.... In case of hybrid protocols like S/PDIF it might make sense to re-clock. The send rate of this bus is used to generate the sample rate. If the clock of the sender is jittery, you will have a ton of input jitter at the DAC. They took countermeasures. PLL was...

Pitch? No. Red Book ( CD audio standard) requires the clocks frequency be within +/-100ppm (parts per million). A deviation of 100 ppm means that a 440Hz tone deviates +/- 0.044Hz. This is way below the threshold of our hearing even if you have absolute pitch. A better clock means lower jitter...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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.
