and is streaming Lossless FLAC to my main system via its dedicated 'mesh' network using the SONOS Bridge. Not that I understand exactly how THAT works. Rat Shack optical cable to the Marantz NA-7004 plus RCA out to the same preamp as the NA-7004. Streaming decent stuff (Classical, in my case), it seems to work well. Ssdly, not that much difference switching from optical/NA-7004 to RCA out using its internal DAC, which may mean that the DAC in the NA-7004 is less than outstanding or that the Wyred4Sound mods would change that? Who knows? We'll soon find out, as it's going to cook here for a week just to make sure everything works well, no drop outs or gapless playback issues with the streaming services I use, then off to Wyred4sound for the $550 upgrade. Anyone suggest a decent 1 meter 75 Ohm RCA digital cable in the $25-$50 range? Wyred4sound recommends the Kimber Kable for about $70 and I certainly don't mind giving Ray my money as he's a great guy who has given back to the audiophile community as few manufacturers. First they came for the dumb-asses And I did not speak out Because I was not a dumb-ass |
