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...
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...
