WiiM + Marantz NR1200 + Zone 2 OSD Amp

[ka07056]

Just got a Marantz NR-1200. I want to connect my WiiM pro to the Marantz *and* a secondary amp to power patio speakers. Should I use a SPIDF splitter from the WiiM to both amps or the Zone out RCA from the Marantz to send music to the patio amp?

Just buy another one / a mini (But seriously, a mini is a fairly cheap solution, and can be grouped with the pro.)

How far is it from the pro/marantz to the other amp?
Do you want to have to turn on the marantz for the patio to work?
If you currently have long enough rca cables, maybe just try living with it for a while.
Then buy a mini

The WiiM Pro, the Marantz and the OSD patio amp are all in the same location.

Doesn't the marantz have two sets of speaker terminals, and the ability to enable either / both?
(Set impedance to 4ohm if using both together.)
