I can't vouch for the sound quality of the amp I linked to. If you have $300 to spend I would go for the Parasound Zamp. I think the Dr. Amp is a UK thing, so that may be more convenient if you're there.
Signal sensing is the feature you need to look for if you don't want to switch on/off. When music comes through the RCA's it turns on automatically... and hopefully doesn't shut off if there's a short pause in the music signal between songs. As for having it in a void, there are electrical codes that may not allow power connections outside junction boxes in the wall. That's why I said it may be easier to just run speaker cables through the wall. Here is one UL listed amp for in wall use: http://www.toaelectronics.com/spec_sheets/w-906_12a.pdf . If you have the amp outside the wall you may need a wall plate for your wires depending on your aesthetic obligations: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=261-352 I'm not sure of the RCA length answer. I have a 17' RCA connection in my car from a Mcintosh CD player to a Mcintosh amp, and at full volume with no signal there is no audible noise. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24563 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
