Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Rotel RX-1052 SBD
Though I have no experience with the airport express, I did sell the RX for a couple of years. Considering the Rotel has no digital inputs, your only option is to connect the SB into a free input (Video 1, 2, 3) with a decent pair of interconnects. If your material is good, there should be a noticeable difference in sound quality from your Airport Express. As for interface, the duet will absolutely blow the airport out of the water. I've only used an SB3, but even the interface on that is amazingly simple and effective. I listened to way more music once I got my SB, even though before I had a pc connected that could stream via itunes (in much the same way the airport does). The remote control capability of the SB alone is incredible; the duet takes that to whole new levels. I wholeheartedly recommend it. It'll work well with your machine, and the awesomeness of the interface will surely change the way you listen to music. -- LikeButtah *2-Channel:* SB3 Rothwell Attenuators + AudioQuest Diamondback Cables Quad 303 Dynaudio Audience 52 *Home Theatre:* Yamaha DVD-S657 Yamaha RXV-557 Tannoy Fusion F3s/F1s/FC You gotta start somewhere I suppose...

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Rotel RX-1052 SBD
Hi, I'm thinking about getting a Duet to add into my system. I currently have a Rotel RX-1052 and I use an airport express to stream audio. Looking for any folks that have experience with the Rotel RX-1052 and SBD in comparison to Airport Express. Also looking for any recommendations on connecting the SBD into the Rotel - cabling and input to use. Thanks in advance!
