My wife is the real fan. I have seen it being made and frankly what’s not to like? The band, singers and SQ are absolutely astounding.

I’m remodelling my Living Room. I have moved the TV location from a corner onto a wall. Installed a new 75” TV with some new furniture for both the TV and my HiFi next to it. New Kef Q series speakers. In the TV cupboard I have a Pi plus Khadas tone board as my streamer into an Onkyo AVR. There...

FLAC needledrop from one of the earliest records I bought. ♪ Playing Crossroads by Cream from Best Of Cream (Vinyl) (1969) (Local • 2805kbps VBR, 24bit, 96kHz, -1.44dB, FLC) Didn’t notice the time!

The RP1 has no phono stage but the RP1+ does. Which is it?

What do you mean by Off? Many don’t have an on/off switch

I thought as much. Bit of a design flaw if you ask me. On a traditional amp it is usually possible to connect a headphone amp in such a way as to allow it to be utilised without having to switch between. You should be able to just turn the amp down and the headphone amp up. I am not talking...

Does either method work simultaneously with speaker output?

Largely depends on budget. There are some great active speakers from the likes of Kef but not cheap. Do you want a single stereo box or a pair of speakers?

WiiM output is not in the equation. It’s intended to be split before input with the Optical to USB on one output and the WiiM on the other. A branch line if you will,

I think they are generally dumb and have no electronics in them at all - presumably just a mirror or two. The ones on Amazon don’t specify any resolution. So my thinking was the same as yours. And yes you are right the splitter is going to be ahead of the WiiM input. The WiiM output will be analog.
