Sony WH-100XM3 to amplifier?

[Greenwich_Man]

Hi

Can any of tell me how can I connect a pair of Sony WH-100XM3s to my amp. The amp is an Arcam SA20.

Thanks so much

Your Arcam should have a headphone socket to connect your headphones to. If you want to connect via Bluetooth, you'll need Arcam rBlink.

 

[Greenwich_Man]

Thanks. Does that mean that in order to use them wirelessly I have spend more money?

 

[bigboss]

Yes. Arcam SA20 does not have Bluetooth built-in.

Thanks so very much for your help. Bigboss

Just using them to listen to - Mark Knopler - Sailing to Philadelpha. They sound incredable. Thanks for your help. I'll look into buying the Arcam rBlink.

And thanks Simonali.

Just Got this from Arcam

'Good afternoon

Thank you for your email. We do not make any bluetooth transmitters. If you use wireless headphones, then you will be using the DAC and amplifier built into the headphones, rather than anything that we have manufactured. If you want to listen to the CDS50 using the headphones, I would suggest a reputable Optical or SPDIF to bluetooth transmitter, although as we do not manufacture such products I cannot recommend any specific one.'

Anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks. I bought a TaoTronics adaptor (2020 version), and I'll install it in a couple of days time. Then I'll let you know how it is.

Thanks for you help bigboss.

 

[Greenwich_Man]

I'm having problems connecting the headphones. So I've sent an email to TaoTronics. Hope they reply soon.

 

[simonali]

Are you putting them into pairing mode? Apologies if I'm being obvious!

 

[Greenwich_Man]

Did that. Thanks for that suggestion. However it didn't help. Waiting for a response from TaoTronics.

 

[Greenwich_Man]

I've been following TaoTronics instructions, and they are now saying my Sony headphones must be faulty. They cannot accept that there may be a problem with there device. So I'm sending it back to Amazon.

I'll have to think again about how to connect my Sony headphones.

Oh, that's annoying! Only if the devices worked as advertised....
