Sony Strdg820 and Wiim

[jez15]

Hi there
I am just finishing building my barn and I have pre- wired in my 5.1 speakers ie cables in walls and ready to connect my old but very good Sony Strdg820 amp.

I want to connect a record player but also I want to be able to stream Spotify etc

Can I and if I can how would I connect it too a Wiim product ?

Sony strdg820 specs are here

Thanks for any assistance

Connect a WiiM to the Digital Media Port, or using the WiiM internal DAC, connect that to an analog line input.

Ok thanks for that , which wiim product would you recommend for my setup?

Streamer only - WiiM Pro Plus.

Streamer/preamp - WiiM Ultra.

Dobrý deň
Práve dokončujem stavbu svojej stodoly a mám predpojené reproduktory 5.1, tj káble v stenách a pripravené na pripojenie môjho starého, ale veľmi dobrého zosilňovača Sony Strdg820.

Chcem pripojiť gramofón, ale tiež chcem mať možnosť streamovať Spotify atď

Môžem a ak môžem, ako by som ho pripojil aj k produktu Wiim?

Špecifikácie Sony strdg820 sú tu

Ďakujeme za akúkoľvek pomoc

Tiež mám Sony STR-DG820 a Wiim Pro.

Be aware that if you connect the WiiM by analog to the AVR it will be converted to digital for DSP and then back to analog. This isn’t necessarily a problem but is perhaps considered sub optimal.

That said the DAC in the WiiM is likely to be better than that in the older Sony so connecting digitally isn’t a good idea.

Edit
If you have a phone preamp then the WiiM Pro or Pro+. If you don’t then definitely Ultra
