Got the app. Messed with settings ...  and .... I dont have a usb in to my receiver for this. Of course. \n\nSo, I bought an adapter that carries a bit-perfect signal from the UAPP app to the coaxial input on my receiver.\n\nDid you know that you can use any rca cable on this digital input. Yup. Stability may improve with a legit coax cable, but  you might not need it at all.\n\nAnyway, I have not to say about all this hi-fi audio stuff. I'm an old analog buff at heart, but I can clearly see where my limitations are set if I refuse to adapt.\n\nnostr:nevent1qqsruvfmnh49ya2esfv0d0myvqxkhy63rtvth0w025ye9kz56ra7tzqpz4mhxue69uhkyctnwdcxjum5dakzummjvuhsygr83gcgukwzfmsmxs4sl6dtmahalfwuesc2avn455m7ral6qcylhspsgqqqqqqshfx7vk"}
