Turntable and Citation airplay amps

[kfer]

I have a basement with nine Harman Kardon Citation amps doing the whole home audio using an iphone as the source and it works great. Here's the problem, I want to add a turntable. Are there any Wiim devices that I can connect to the turntable line out which will then connect via airplay to the Citation amps?

WiiM devices are not Airplay transmitters (indeed, there aren’t many such devices) so you can’t achieve what you want in the manner you wish.

You can however use the phono input on say the Ultra then group that with other WiiM devices like the Pro or Pro Plus each of which would be directly connected to your amps, but I appreciate that may be overkill.

Thanks for the reply. Could I bin the Citation amps and replace them with wiim amps and then connect the CD player to the line in of one of the amps. Then use the Wiim app grouping and volume controls to play the CD around the house?

Also does the Wiim amp have a pre amp built in to the line in?

Yes, to both your questions.

CD could also be connected to the optical input. If you group (link) that WiiM device with other devices, they will all play the same synchronously.

The WiiM Amp is also a complete streamer and pre-amp with (almost ) same functions as the other WiiMs.
