Hi all, Bauer Radio, having removed all their direct web feeds, have given me the dilemma of not being able to listen to Planet Rock through my main system unless using a blue tooth feed off a phone or tablet.
Does anyone have a solution for linking a Mac mini using usb or another solution so I can have an alternative? Yes, I know the feed is very low quality but I’d just prefer to make the best of it.
I’ve tried just connecting the Mac using a usb to the front usb port on the NDX2 but it’s not seeing it as an audio out.
The Mac mini isn’t old enough to have the old audio Jack that doubled as an optic out.
Hi Chris, Yes because if you happen to open an app on the phone that sometimes uses video/sound it automatically pauses the sound for the planet rock app.
No idea if it will allow you to access radio, but Audirvana on a Mac Mini with USB output is very good. I’ve described my setup in a number of tgreads, this the most recent:
As for USB into a Naim DAC or other device if it doesn’t have USB Gustard U12 is a very good isolator/converter (outputs optical, S/PDIF and AES/EBU), yet onlybabout £120 last I looked. Richard Dane was playing with one once…
Thought I’d close this down with what I found as a solution. Picked this up for £25. Considering the quality of the Bauer Media feeds it does all that is required!
