Okay, thanks for these inputs, I will sit back and consider options now... One note, for what it's worth, I am familiar with Audacity, having used it for a variety of audio-manipulation tasks... I've also used it in the past to "rip" vinyl to disk; in that case, we plugged turntable into an...

Well, that *is* a dilemma... but reality is, these cassettes have been sitting in that storage box in the living room for all the 26 years that we've lived here - so we aren't talking master quality here... Also, we will never again be recording any more cassettes after this set (there are...

I just came across a box of old music cassettes, that have been in storage for years now... many of them are obscure artists who never ended up on more modern media. I would like to get a cassette player which will play to usb, so I can record them on computer. I've been looking around...

Okay, here's a followup on this topic... I contacted Denon about this issue, and they had me ship the receiver to one of their authorized service centers, at their expense (still under warranty). I sent it to Adam's Electronics, Huntington Beach, CA. I also sent them a USB stick with music on...

Yeah, I've been pondering that as well... My TP-Link router *does* have a USB slot on it, though I don't have any idea how to interface between the router and the receiver; is that what HEOS is for ?? The latter is something else that I've heard of, but don't know anything about... With my...

Hah!! and I just noticed that your link points to Apple store! I was looking on Amazon... I'm just a creature of habit!!

Oh, that's interesting; I'll take another look; all the 128GB devices that I found, were all older gens, which is why I posted this question... I'll look again. Thanks!!

Hi @JohnRice ; do you mind if I ask an iPad question here?? I'm looking at iPad Air devices with 128GB, and I see 4th, 5th, 6th Generation devices available... do I care about generation, if my main concern is reliable AirPlay performance??

Oh!! Yes, I didn't respond to you, sorry... I'm actually going to look into that as well, once we get the receiver back... I just realized that I can run AirPlay on my Windows machine, by installing iTunes 10 or later; I might try that, rather than buying a more-expensive Apple device... if...

hmmm... okay, I'll try that once we get the receiver back... thank you *and* @John Dirk for your suggestions... I'll check and see if either of our BluRay units have a USB input; they're both a few years old, so might need to look into a new unit.

Ahhh... okay, agreed... My original post drifted off topic itself... I wish I had split this into two separate messages; I *am* interested in other options for getting mp3 into the receiver (i.e., question 3), but I also specifically wanted feedback on any experience with the USB interface on...

Okay, all, please stay on topic... my question is about reliability of USB interface on various HT receivers; does anyone actually have experience with this option???

hmmm... well, sorta... we have iPad devices, which we use for monitoring our Ring devices and managing our Shark robot vacuum, but they don't have enough storage for milady's mp3 library... all of our main computers are Windows...

Okay, we had previously purchased the Denon AVR-X1600H, and it has generally been working well for us. Listening through bluetooth headphones is disappointing, since the Denon does not actually provide any volume control, and max volume output via bluetooth is pretty pathetic, but milady was...

well... you are correct, I was not aware of these details... so no, a repeater won't solve the problem that we actually have... What it comes down to, apparently, is that the bluetooth-headphone support on the Denon receiver is utterly useless, given that the range of volumes that the...

Does anyone hear know anything about bluetooth repeaters?? That should be a fairly trivial item to develop; repeaters in RF have existed for almost 100 years, and I know wifi has them... I just need something that will pair with the AVR as a receiver, then pair with headphones as a transmitter...

Okay, went and checked these just now... the entire Audio menu is disabled when bluetooth headphones are connected, so we disconnected and checked, and both limits and Dynamic EQ are disabled...

So, answer me this... are there other brands of AV receivers which have more mature bluetooth capability incorporated in them?? The Galaxy Tab A tablet that milady is using for audio testing, is a *years*-old device, so this is not a recent secret...

I also just paired the Marshall headphones up with bluetooth on my desktop computer!! First time I've done that, because usually I use 5.1 headphones on my desktop. However, these headphones sound *fantastic* with audio on this machine!! I have *full* range of volume-setting capability with...

Wow!! She paired the Marshall headphones with her Galaxy Tab A, and they have a *TON* of volume!!!!!!! You could *easily* blow out your hearing with them!!! Also, headphone volume can be adjusted with either the headphone volume control or the tablet volume control... we set the tablet volume...

huh... good question... we don't actually listen to anything else via bluetooth!! I'll try to get milady to look into this...

Well, it's odd though, that all three headphones, including one which is specifically marketed as having high volume, all perform at identical max volume with this receiver...

We just purchased this receiver, and mostly are quite happy with it... but there is one very disappointing aspect to this; although it is extremely easy to get bluetooth headphones to pair with the receiver, there seems to be a maximum volume with bluetooth, which is frankly quite inadequate...

*** bump ?? ***

We have an SL-PD8 CD changer, which we got off eBay a couple of years ago... it's been working just fine, up until a week or so back, and milady loves it... Recently, though, it's started doing some odd things; basically, it doesn't seem to actually know which slots actually have disk in them...

ummm... well... yeah, there may be some learning curve here... Actually, we *got* the external bluetooth adapter working this morning!! It was actually surprising, because I thought I had thrown that thing out long ago, but I found it yesterday while digging for USB cables... I was going to...

Hi all! Just for completeness, I want to share the response that I got from Denon customer support, on the bluetooth headphone issue: And their link indeed took me to the page that they said it would. So I think our receiver is now chosen!!

Aye, I agree... at the time that I posted on the other thread, this had already been left, but got no responses for several hours, so I posted there - but that causes confusion. I should have been patient and waited on this thread. Y'all have been *very* helpful and supportive here. And yes, I...

Hi John... You know what?? We have tried about 5 different versions of these over the past couple of years, and not one single one actually was useful. The problem was, once we turned off the transmitter, *or* the headphones, they just went stupid and forgot that they had ever known each...

Wow... why would they *not* design a stereo component which is designed to process and output music, including to headphones, to output to bluetooth headphones ?? Especially when I am spending hundreds of dollars on the device?? That bluetooth transmitter is about a $5 chip in my cell phone...
