XS, 122x where to plug
Posted by: NewMike on 02 May 2010
Finally decided to buy a exdemo xs (122x/150x also a possible for the same cost - but assume one box might be err best).
This will work with a Duet, squeeezbox and a lot of lossless files on my iMac and hhd.
If I have it right (will add a DAC) this should give some flexible (upgrade potential. I say 'if' as I assume this will sound better (I know but I'm a long way from a demoes and time poor)than a Uniti (the 5i didn't do it for me.
So questions are - where to plug in the squeezbox - AUX and with what? Is there a better way to stream - ie better sound?
How did I get here - have flirted with 122x and 150 and the Supernait but find the 5i too harsh (to my ear - love the 500 sound but off budget). Still have a decent CD player but so much more enjoyable to stream....
A good bank hol to all
