Sri.Theo posted:The just announced WiiM amp it says it has Spotify connect. Does anyone know if Spotify will let you cast to Sonos speakers at the same time as a Spotify connect device? Does the Spotify app let you select multiple outputs? If not the best way to do this is probably Airplay if you’ve got an iPhone or iPad. I solved my “mix Sonos with other stuff” problem in the most expensive possible way Roon so I can’t give more specific advice.

RCA splitters almost always do something stupid. Maybe try a cheap crossover from the world of car audio?

Fozzy The Bear posted: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. There are brands that make decent ones, Hiby, Fiio, Shanling, Aune, etc. a lot of them are pretty much cheap android phones with no cell radio and a headphone jack. There’s also a bunch that use roughly the iPod Nano form factor between $100 and 200. https://hifigo.com/collections/portable https://aoshida-audio.com/collections/portable-player https://www.linsoul.com/collections/digital-audio-players E: oh yeah there’s a dedicated thread for these as well

Bluetooth isn’t really for that, it’s more of a Wi-Fi thing. You could get two Wiim minis and Chromecast to them.

70V stuff is pretty specialized, it’s obviously not new technology but limited to commercial/professional installs so you might want to talk to an actual AV company about it.

The only audio streamers with native Apple music support are the expensive Sonos Port, the also expensive Fiio R7 [which is basically just an android phone glued to a DAC/amp] and the even more expensive Eversolo A6 and A8. Everything else is Airplay. There's kind of one exception which is the Apple TV which has the downside of needing the display to be on, which I assume would be kind of A Thing with a projector in the mix.

For $300 there's also the Wiim amp which has a remote available and could reduce the box count slightly.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Hey quick question - if one has a 2.1 speaker setup connected to an AV receiver, is it better to use a PCM 2.0 or PCM 5.1 (which the receiver will down mix to 2.1) signal? They should be roughly the same, difference is in surround content you’ll get the LFE channel instead of just the normal crossover point. Not sure if there’s much of a difference net net, I’d guess a lot of movie soundtracks can really lean on the LFE.
