If you are just watching streaming services like Netflix or Amazon video, I would just buy the cheapest 5.1 receiver, because you don't need any of the extra features. https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/pionvsx534-rb/pioneer-vsx-534-5.2-ch-x-80-watts-a/v-receiver/1.html This would be a good start.

Do people still buy dedicated mp3 players? I have an ipod shuffle 2GB, but its lack of Bluetooth and only 2gb is really a drag. Should I just buy whatever amazon recommends or is there a name brand that's above and beyond the others? I see the first result on amazon is a no-name $25 16GB with bluetooth, which is plenty for me.

My AVR only has ARC (not eARC), but it supports things like TrueHD and DTS-HD MA. The AVR also only has 1080p output. How do I use something like a Roku device and play 4k HDR video, while also outputting advanced audio to my receiver?

Internet Explorer posted:I have a large stereo setup with an equally large subwoofer located behind a listening couch. How bad of an idea would it be to put a 2-3 inch solid wood table over it? There would be a maybe... 6 inch gap or so above the subwoofer before the table. I mostly care about the listening at the couch, less so with the rest of the room. My sub is under this table I made using 2x4s, there is about 2-3 inches of clearance from the top of the sub to the underside of the table. Crazy amounts of bass, from both sitting next to it, and sitting on a couch 10 feet back.

Ham Equity posted:One of the offices that I support has a Factor V-460 mixer amp wired into a house sound system in their lobby. They want to play royalty-free music off of basically an iPod. What would be a good .mp3 player to use these days? My usual go-to of Wirecutter doesn't seem to keep a list of well-regarded .mp3 players; it would be best if it didn't have a battery so we wouldn't have to worry about it swelling or exploding or anything, and we can just plug it into wall power. Their budget for this is pretty minimal, I doubt they'd be willing to spend more than a couple hundred dollars; is my best bet going to be just a surplus iPhone?

Many cheap MP3 players on amazon have bluetooth and FM radio. I don't have any device to recommend, but you might want to look.

Tad Naff posted:Oh I've looked. Basically all of them say they have FM and Bluetooth, but the fine print will say it's either/or. Closest thing is the dummy-earphone-antenna deal, and I've actually got an antenna that plugs into a headphone jack for such purposes, but it's still awkward. Oh I just remembered headphones I used to have in the 90's that had the FM radio built in: https://www.headphonesty.com/2021/05/best-radio-headphones/ Would this fit what you need?
