I currently have a Squeezebox connected to a Rotel RX-1052 Receiver in my living room. And yes, I have it connected via some Audioquest analog cables to the Video 1 input. It sounds very good. But of course, you have to have good quality rips of your CDs. 320 kbps - good, Lossless FLAC even better. I must admit though, the squeezebox I have connected to my Rotel RSP-1068 via digital in the basement lounge/HT sounds even better! But the RX-1052 combo is no slouch. But you must have good quality rips. I say go for it. You won't be dissapointed. -- Club1820 ---- Club1820's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45615 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] audioengine5 - how far?
If I can chime in and ask a question while speaking about bass. I too am considering these speakers but was worried about the bass. So everyone who owns these can attest to good bass response and not what one would think from such little and not very powerful (wattage-wise) speakers?

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Modifying the Squeezebox 3
Bob, thanks for the quick reply. So is the item I posted a link to what I need and what the original poster of this thread stated as Mod #1?. Replace the wallwart. I have my squeezebox connected to my Rotel 1068 Pre/Pro which then feeds to a Rotel 1095 amp. Its connected via coaxial. So, correct me if I am wrong - but through this connection, isnt the DAC in the Rotel Pre/Pro being utilized instead of the Squeezebox's? Thus no need for an external DAC? ??? Thanks for your help and responses. -- Club1820 Club1820's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19822 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Modifying the Squeezebox 3
Ok. I hope that you guys dont mind me posting this question. As I am a new owner of a squeezebox and love it so far. But also one who is always looking for a better sound. Just like you guys. As I am not tech savvy and won't be spending major bucks for an upgrade or the transporter - the only upgrade for me would be to replace the wallwart. Does this really improve the sound? - even if its minimal compared to all the other mods mentioned here and in comparison to the supplied wallwart? Is this what I should use? http://www.electronicpartsforless.com/storefrontprofiles/processfeed.aspx?sfid=100806&i=51622665&mpid=36&dfid=1 Its a 5 volt regulated 1 amp power adapter. Is this what I should get? I saw on another page, someone suggested a 5 volt regulated 1.5 amp - but I can't find one of those anywhere. Would 1 amp suffice? Do they have these at Radio Shack - checked their webpage and can't find it there. OK - Thanks for all your help and hope you dont mind the simple questions from a fellow squeezebox lover! -- Club1820 ---- Club1820's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19822 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
