ML/MCL as Roon Endpoint

3 replies

Hello, I have a bit of a tinkering question.

 

I have an old MC/MCL laying around, and would like to turn it into a Roon Endpoint. To do this, I would like to use the RCA out of a Bluesound into the ML/MCL. Additionnaly, I would like to use an IR eye for volume control.

 

To do this, I have some questions.

 

First of all, is it possible to connect the RCA Out to the ML/MCL Powerlink socket? How should the wiring be? Is there a way to have the Bluesound trigger the ML/MCL on/off? 

 

Can I connect a B&O IR Eye to the ML/MCL so that I can do volume control and also switch it on and off?

 

A lot of questions for a very old device, but I simply got triggered whether this would be possilbe. It would be nice tinkering project, and I would be able to use the ML/MCL with some passive speakers as a Roon endpoint.

Hello MM,

 

I was out of this Forum for quite a while. Nice to see that you are still driving this forum forward with your deep knowledge and ability to help others!

Steve’s website is down for maintenance, so I will have a look later this week!
