I have a pair of decent speakers Solo7c (http://www.microlab.com/?r=Stereosystemen&st=full&id=225) from Microlab.
The idea is to buy a device to connect to my speakers which would be a standalone music player that either has an internal memory, upgradable by sd/microsd or has a usb port for external hddβs and flashdrives and very imporantly has the support for as many different lossless audio formats that circle the net at the moment (flac, alac, monkey, tta, wav etc)
Iβm looking for audio quality and clarity and interface/design simplicity if possible.
I was thinking of spending about 100euro/$130 maximum but perhaps I would be willing to spend more if the product deserves it.
I hope I havenβt over-complicated my post π , thanks for reading and please help!
Iβd sure like to see some similar products and compare though.
My follow up question would be if I need an amplifier of some kind when using line-out from that type of player before connecting to my speakers? These are the specs on the integrated speakers amp:
Output power, RMS βββ 110 Watt
Power distribution, Watt ββββ- 55 Watt x 2
Harmonic distortion ββββ < 0.3% 1 W 1 kHz
Frequency response βββββ55 Hz β 20 kHz
Signal/Noise ratio, dB βββ- > 85 dB
Separation, dB ββββ > 55 dB
Input sensitivity, mV ββββ 440 mV
Nominal impedance, ohm ββββ 4 ohm
