That's one way.
But the Wiim amp takes up a lot less space. A cleaner look than having an amp, tuner, streamer and DAC. Also newer tech. Subwoofer management. A remote control. More power.
That amp is from 97. Was a What Hifi Award winner. I think it's time it retired.🤓
Dining room / kitchen setup. Love the sound. The Q Acoustics punch way above their weight, just lack the low end the old Cerwin's had, but they had 12" main drivers. The Q's are great but I'm tempted with a sub, but that means an amp upgrade. I might be talking myself into a Wiim amp haha!

I will sort out the FM aerial (eventually)....
The case for the Denon Tuner was really scratched so I bought a can of black acrylic non gloss, removed the metal case and gave it a once over. Looks a million times better.
Now I'm hunting a period placed CD player with coax out and I'll run that...
Just downsized speakers as the Cerwin's were a tad big for the dining room / second system.

Thanks! Listening now. Spotify has a 2014 remastered version. Lovely stuff. I really like threads like this as I get to listen to such a vast array of music I wouldn't have known about.
For some reason the desktop app link for Windows (for me) has no icon? It's just a plain white square. When I go into change icon it says "Windows can't find... ..... .... app.ico"
I've reinstalled it, but same, no icon.
Ah the good ol' license fee. Makes sense.
I'm just playing around with the app to see what it can and can't do. I never thought to check if there was a restriction on stream if you're not in the UK.
