3e Audio have recently teased their new range of multi channel amps, starting with a 2 channel configuration. They have built-in PSU and proper 12v trigger. There's a few renders to give you an idea...

Yes I feel like the whole lineup is very competitively priced actually. First of all: look at them 😍 and the actual speaker design for the M and X version is quite complex - with the extra downfiring woofer. Reminds me a bit of Buchardt and Ascilab. Paired with a powerful DSP, I'm sure they'll...

That's the price for a pair ;)

Ahhh yes wrong thread 🙂

Not sure what has been fixed? The issue persists on my daily phone (Google Pixel 6 with official Android 16). I'm only seeing the Google Cast option. On my OnePlus 7 Pro (LineageOS 23 - Android 16 based, 2nd screenshot), I get the Spotify Connect option 😅 The Spotify app version is the same.

Ok, Cambridge Audio has my attention! These look fabulous and might just be replacing my entire WiiM Ultra - amp - speaker setup someday. https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/eur/en/products/lr There's still some room left in WiiM's product lineup for a serious active bookshelf/tower speaker! ;)

0 issues here. I'm using the WiiM Ultra with a Bravia 8. Volume changes on the tv will be directly reflected on the WiiM's display. Not sure if this is the case with all TV's, but mine shows the volume in values from 0 to 100 so it perfectly matches those values shown by the WiiM.

I think it used to be under the local devices list first for me. I do have the same "issue" with it being shown under "other" networks as soon as I've used Spotify connect once - until manually logging out. I don't think this is a WiiM issue per se, but rather a feature implemented by Spotify...

Yes we can already set up multi-room audio between WiiM devices and other Google cast enabled speakers from inside the Google Home app, but only when streaming audio from a Chromecast compatible app. However, if we're able to set up groups with Google cast endpoints inside the WiiM home app...

Input-Specific Screen: Remember and automatically switch to a preferred display layout based on the active input source. Whoooo!! I've been wishing for this for a while now! Native Plex Integration: Full support for the native Plex control protocol. - still actively being worked on, nice to...

Just keep in mind that the Audiolab 6000A (mk2) and Rotel A11 MK2 probably have a very competitive DAC built-in and the 6000A MK2 even has HDMI ARC so it would probably make more sense to pair them with a WiiM Mini or WiiM Pro (connected digitally) While you can perfectly connect the WiiM Ultra...

The documentation about the AVR and the pure direct mode is pretty vague so I looked for a service manual. Indeed, the RCA inputs are not going through AD, but the running straight into a R2A15218FP audio controller IC which can definitely affect sound quality as well. It controls volume, can...

No "solution" will be available for the current lineup of devices.

But wouldn't all of those be DSP based? And I don't think the $500 Denon of 2012 would have an analog preamp section and the means to (mechanically) switch the inputs from digital to purely analog.

Yes, then you'll be using the Denon's DAC again, but you seem to forget the important fact that your Denon is also digitising the analog RCA inputs. Seems to me that the best connection method to such AVR's is digital through optical, coaxial and HDMI. The RCA inputs are there for convenience in...
