Small Wonder
on April 28, 2018
Posted by: gyroscopics

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for optical cable for Chromecast Audio. Best Buy doesn't sell one with one side compatible with Chromecast Audio and other side compatible with receivers and integrated amps. However the rep pointed me to this small optical cable adapter displayed at Magnolia section. It's perfect for that purpose which allows me to use my existing optical cable as well. It made Chromecast Audio sound better by delegating the digital to analog conversion to the receiver as Chromecast has inferior DAC compared to most late model receiver DACs. Big improvement compared to using analog output from Chromecast Audio - making it a true Sonos contender from sound quality perspective.

High quality interconnects are good investments because that’s the part of your system where analog signals pass through. Thats why I bought this Audioquest RCA cable.

Great Height Speaker

Posted by: gyroscopics
from TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use a pair of OWM 5 as front heights to supplement my B&W 700 series based 7.2.4 Auro 3D system. It sounds great crossovered at 80 Hz. Designed for use as center speaker it delivers dispersed sound making it a great non-localized height speakers. Its low profile shape and off-white color makes it non-obtrusive for living room applications.

Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

I have had several security systems indoor and outdoor. Indoor placement had always been an issue. Not anymore with completely wireless Arlo. Long lasting battery packs make it plug, play and forget. The geofencing feature makes this system fully autonomous and smart.

Experience immersive entertainment options with this Sony 4K Blu-ray player. Its Ultra HD resolution provides exceptionally detailed screen images with increased brightness and more realistic color, and its support of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X provides cinema-quality sound. This Sony 4K Blu-ray player supports high-resolution audio formats for more accurate music reproduction and optimized for custom installation.
 

How can this dvd player--UPP-X1000ES--be made to run in Europe on 220 V network? Is there a Sony, or any other, fail-proof voltage convertor? Which one would you recommend?

Just use a 220v to 110v step down voltage converter. This bluray player is only rated 10 watts or less. Any commercially available 50 watt rated converter is sufficient. Best Buy sells one.

Create room-filling stereo sound with this 9.2-channel Denon A/V receiver. It supports DTS:X and Dolby Atmos technology for surround sound capability, and the built-in AirPlay, Bluetooth and internet radio capabilities let you stream digital media from compatible devices. This Denon A/V receiver has three-zone capability so everyone can enjoy their favorite music in separate rooms.
 

Will this push too much power for the Klipsch R-15m bookshelf speakers?

No. You control how much power to send to your speakers with the volume control.

I want to have 3 front speakers, 2 side speakers, 2 rear speakers, and 2 atmos speakers on the ceiling. I'm assuming I need to get a 9.2 or 9.1 receiver instead of a 7.1 or 7.2. Is that correct?

You need a receiver which can decode dolby atmos or auro-3d such as denon x4400h or higher model. The X4400h has 9 assignable amps for 9.2 setup and 11.2 preouts which would satisfy your needs.

The sonos connect is what I would start with to able to hear my XM radio throughout my house?

The Connect would send the audio to the my Uverse router? The Uverse router would wirelessly connect to Sonos speakers I would place throughout the house?
Yes the Sonos Connect and any other Sonos device (Sonos Play 1, 2, or 3) connected to your home network can simultaenously play the same audio content.

IF YOU HAVE YOUR SYSTEM CONNECTED TO CONNECT IN 1 ROOM HOW CAN YOU UTILIZE IT IN OTHER AREAS ?

Yes by connecting a free output port (optical, coax, or L/R out) to another device in the second room. I suggest running coax or optical cable to the 2nd room for better signal quality.

Sonos Connect: Add new features to your old stereo or home theater equipment; use this Sonos Connect component to integrate your external amplifier, receiver or powered speaker into a wireless audio system.
 

Can both outputs (digital and analog) function simultaneously?

I'd like to hook this up to an FM transmitter (because my property is too big for WiFi or the Sonos network to reach my garage) and also to a receiver/speaker system in my house. This requires two outputs. Can the Connect provide output to both digital and analog connections (using the same stream) simultaneously? Thanks!
Yes the Sonos Connect can provide simultaeneous output to all output ports at the same time. My living room Connect's optical output is connected to a NAD 375's DAC, the coax out is connected to a Denon HT receiver, the analog L/R out is connected to a bose pc speaker. All devices can play the same signal at the same time if needed. On top of that, my Sonos Connect's input L/R ports are connected to a set-top box. This allows for the set top box to trigger and send TV audio content to my remote Sonos play 1 without affecting the signal on the Sonos Connect itself.
