![]() AudioMate M5 Review: Using ItĬonnecting the AudioCast M5 is as simple as plugging in a micro USB cable for power and plug in speakers via the 3.5mm audio output.Ĭonnecting the unit up to your network and playing music is handled entirely via the Audiocast app (available on both iOS and Android). Having the micro USB port and 3.5mm audio output on opposite sides keeps things neat, though I can’t help but feel everything would look neater if they were next to eachother but that’s just personal preference. Going around the unit counter-clockwise, you’ve got the 3.5mm audio output, a WPS button for connecting the device to your wireless network, a reset button and a microUSB port for power. There’s only a couple of ports and a single button on the unit. The unit feels solid and well made, much like Uyesee’s previous music streamer, the SoundMate WM201. The unit’s design takes inspiration from classic vinyl records, with concentric rings surrounding the AudioCast branding. It looks great and fits the product’s theme. I previously reviewed Uyesee’s SoundMate WM201 and that unit was compact but this is another level. With a diameter of just 55mm, the AudioCast M5 is barely bigger than a coin and can be easily hidden. I've got to get the TV up on the wall, run cables for the surround speakers as well, but I'm looking forward to being able to take pics of my setup and post.This thing is tiny. It's probably going to take a couple of weeks to sort it all out, so pics as and when. Power conditioning is currently Tacima mains block - but I've had two file server UPS/mains conditioning units in storage for the last few years, I plan on bringing them into the equation to make sure the power is as clean as possible. Since I'm mainly using non-moving-parts sources, ventilation is more important than vibration isolation. Vittsjo or billybob or whatever - got to make sure that the's plenty of room for the battleship monoblocks and A/V amp. ![]() I'm going to have to buy a new rack - but funds are limited, so it's probably going to be. Most of my CD's have now been ripped and stored on HD. Panasonic DVD Player (also pretty good as CD Transport)Ĭhromecast Audio for streaming from PC/mobiles (via opti to amp). ![]() Kef 1400i Egg as surround speakers for AV Snell Reference A5 towers as stereo speakers (although keeping my TJL 3W's in reserve) Onkyo TX-NR1009 AV amp as Pre-amp for stereo, amp for surroundsĪdcom GFA565 monoblock amps (factory customs) as stereo amps Just about to move and put my system back together - taking the chance to upgrade at the time, so. Sorry for the dusty pics, my camera gives everything off even after i wiped them. I'm currently thinking of upgrading my speakers to Dali Opticon 6 or opticon 8 if they sound better than my rogers Im just waiting for richer sounds to get he dali opticon 6 in so I can demo them, i really like my rogers they give off a lovely warm sound but I want something with a little more punch so Im hoping the dalis will give me something more that the rogers dont give me. 5 Power cableĬD Player: Ecko EV55DP vacumme tube/solid state hybrid CD PlayerĪmplifier: Ekco EV55DP Vacuum Tube Intergrated AMP with Gold Lion PlatinunTubesĬasette Deck: Tascam 130 3 head single casette deck Turntable POwer Supply: MCRU Linear power Supply with an upgraded PSu and MRCU No. QUOTE="JohnProton, post: 24601585, member: 775151"]Theres some very nice systems on here, heres mine
