Re: stereo amplifier
Okay, I'm going down the route you're talking about and its quite simple, a "Back To Basics" amp is what I bought and I've added a DAC - Digital To Analogue Converter to take advantages of latest technologies, the DAC is the bridge between the Amp and the PC, the Amp and the CD player, the Amp and the iPhone and so on. I have written about the various components I'm using on list over the last few weeks but can summaries again if interested. Here's the basics, I'm using a 40 watt channel Rotel integrated amplifier which costs around $300.00, its got no thrills or gymics, no particular bells or whistles, its just a basic 40 watt RMS per channel continuous power with 4 line inputs and a fono stage if I want to make use of it. I have a pair of Polk Audio bookshelf speakers connected to this in tern which provide extremely good sound, better than you'll get from the majority of computer speakers. The DAC is connected to 1 of the line-in sets of the amp and provides 6 digital inputs plus USB, Bluetooth and Airplay facilities, the USB can be used to connect to your computer so the DAC - if you like - acts as a computer Sound Device, a very serious piece of Hi-fi equipment allowing you to hear files recorded in studio quality to be heard as they were meant to be heard. Anyway enough of me right now, writing is boring and listening to music is much more fun so please excuse me .

Re: stereo amplifier
Hi! You could buy an amp with airplay support. Then you have to hook it up to your wifi and after that you could listen to music on your Iphone via wifi on your amp. I am not sure though if you need an airport express first. I guess so but not sure. /A 24 jul 2013 kl. 17:29 skrev "Walter" : > Hi Elizabeth.

RE: stereo amplifier
Bought a brand new NAD amp about 4 to 5 years ago and they are still good value for money. Simple no nonsense amps with excellent sound quality and completely accessible. And thank heavens still an analog volume control!

I think you are going to have to provide a bit more info. What is available depends on so many factors, not least your location.

quick one for soundtaxi users
Hi, when doing a conversion in soundtaxi, it seems that if the conversion is interrupted, and started again, it doesn't take up from where it broke off, but starts again. is this right. brian. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
