Ah yes indeed thank you for this clarification which calls into question my entire future installation.

If I understand correctly, currently it is my Beosound 3200 which wakes up my Beolabs 5.

So what device could replace my Beosound 3200 so that I can connect a vinyl turntable to it, and at the same time use music (Spotify, Qobuz, Deezer etc…) in Airplay.

Good morning Matador!

Thank you for your response, I didn’t see it, sorry!

And thank you for all these options. The only thing that bothers me is going back to second-hand equipment with the Playmaker.

Can you tell me if this configuration could be suitable for my installation? I don’t necessarily have a set budget limit but I still wouldn’t like to spend too much!

 

 

I’m deleting my Beosound 3200 (currently hanging on the wall by the way!)

I delete my Airport Express from Apple

I replace all of that with this Wiim network player (or another model if you can advise me): https://amzn.eu/d/fE7HBPh
From what I understand it will also allow me to stream music via Airplay

I connect my vinyl turntable to it with classic RCA cables

I also connect my Beolabs 5 speakers. So I have to buy a DIN/RCA adapter (also maybe with you you can recommend products that I will buy)

I’m simply wondering how the switch between the Airplay part and the Vinyl turntable function will work.

 

 

Thank you again for your answers, that’s nice!

Thank you for your answer !

Thank you very much Matador for your response.

I’m French, and you too?

I haven’t really looked at the connections behind my Beolab 5 but it seems to me that the DIN cable goes directly to my BEOSOUND 3200 without going through an amp or preamp, is this normal?

You advise me to replace my Beosound 3200 with a Playmaker or a Beosound Essence MK1, right??

Or I can actually buy a new network streaming player like a Sonos Amp, a Wiim Pro player… etc… to replace my Beosound 3200 so that we don’t talk about it anymore??

 

 

On the other hand, on my pair of Beolab 5 speakers, they are currently connected with a DIN connector cable on my Beosound 3200.
Do I need to buy a DIN/ADN converter to connect to the new network player, or can I directly put RCA cables between the Beolab 5 and the network player (or playmaker or Beosound Essence Mk1)?

 

 

Excuse me, I may be speaking poorly and I don’t know much about it!!!

 

 

THANK YOU AGAIN!!
