hi again, following a thread last night i was given a couple of options for accessing my laptop music via my cyrus set up.

A google search has popped up "logitech sqeezebox", will this work with spotify or do the music files have to be in a set location rather than streamed.

 

Sean.

Yeah,you could use an Airport Express with Airfoil running on your pc/mac.

For Bluetooth you could consider the Chord electronics Chordette Gem dac, a pricey option though, or cheaper option would be a bluetooth receiver. There's plenty of them on the market,google's your friend for those though, and not sure what the SQ would be like.

Re: Squeezebox and spotify

what sort of sound quality is achieved using the airport? As it is streamed does this bypass the Laptop sound card?

 

thanks  sean

Yes it by-passes the soundcard, and SQ is good by all accounts
