That is exactly why i have suggested a power amp. Do not get hung-up on the iFi I recommended. You need something that has preouts and a DAC built in to get the best performance. There are loads of other options available, but I have not heard most so cannot recommend. Even Chromecast audio has a decent DAC and analog out, (which I use). The trouble with Fire stick is it an HDMI device and does not output analog. So if you want to use gaana and YouTube, Chromecast is a better option. If you get the original Chromecast, with HDMI input, you will need a DAC to do digital to analog conversion.
Aux output from TV not coaxial.Guys planning to take a step at a time.. will buy a power amp first.. crown as suggested.. will take coaxial from tv feed it to power amp.. tv wud act as pre amp+dac and see how much of an improvement i feel in terms of music listening experience.. i am hoping itsba foot in the right direction.. thinking of buying it from amazon initially.. if i feel that not much has changed will return it back
Do not even think of doing that. One small mistake with the volume can prove very costly. That crown is a very good and very powerful power amp. It's capable of blowing stuff up.Guys planning to take a step at a time.. will buy a power amp first.. crown as suggested.. will take coaxial from tv feed it to power amp.. tv wud act as pre amp+dac and see how much of an improvement i feel in terms of music listening experience.. i am hoping itsba foot in the right direction.. thinking of buying it from amazon initially.. if i feel that not much has changed will return it back
You cannot directly connect RCA Audio out to your power amp.Basically u need volume control.Guys planning to take a step at a time.. will buy a power amp first.. crown as suggested.. will take coaxial from tv feed it to power amp.. tv wud act as pre amp+dac and see how much of an improvement i feel in terms of music listening experience.. i am hoping itsba foot in the right direction.. thinking of buying it from amazon initially.. if i feel that not much has changed will return it back
Give us a budget you are comfy with and I am sure members can recommend options that might be suitable.I am sorry guys things have gotten quite confusing and scary. since i am not a pro in all this i may end up destroying everything.. initially i was of the idea of getting an integrated amplifier and calling it a day but then studying the power outputs on those things and looking and their price i thought i terms of power i am basically taking a step back.. not feeding polks something that they deserve... 300 watts and what wud i be givinng them 50 odd or so in my budget.. ill share with u what exactly is going wrong with me.. ever since i got my hts i have been comparing the same with the system in my car.. like the system there has always been the reference for me.. it has got all traditional components like tss20 dv6 woofer and all that bells and whistles.. some may call that entry level too but that kind of sound if i get at home ill be celebrating 10 year anniversary without the need of any sort of upgradation.. m not an audiophile by any means i just happen to like sweet bassy music.. people have been talking about feeding better music to be honest ill feed what i find practical.. so now if i go the integrated route can you guys suggest some really good options and explain to me like they would sound better than my AVR.. cambridge audio, NAD, parasound..please help me narrow down some stuff here things have gone here there and everywhere.
Thanks
With which speakers? Few of us own the crown amp.
I was asking the question to @flute .
Ohh okI was asking the question to @flute .
I have suggested the amplifier only after checking your earlier threads.
