    Internet radio wifi to Beomaster 4000

    I am planning to add a Philips NP1100 Internet Radio receiver to my 32 years old Beomaster 4000. Can anybody tell me if there's much difference regarding sound quality between a 3.5-to-5 pin plug  and  a RCA-to-5 pin plug?

    Thanks a lot

    The connectors themselves cause no diffence whatsoever. However, on that product the 3.5mm socket seems to be for connecting headphones, so you should use the proper line out connection which has the RCAs.

    Take care that you get an adapter/cable that carries sound in the correct direction (from the DIN to the RCAs), or get an adapter with four RCA connectors so you can try which two are the right ones.

    No probs - just noticed though that I wrote incorrectly, you of course want the sound from the RCAs to the DIN Smile

    Hello,

    I just bought something similar for my dad's Beocenter 9000.

    I opted for the Terratec Noxon iRadio for iPod.

    http://www.terratec.net/en/products/NOXON_iRadio_for_iPod_16231.html

    manual can be found here: http://ftp.terratec.de/HomeEntertainment/NOXON_iRadio_for_iPod/Manual/NOXON_iRadio_for_iPod_Manual_GB.PDF

    Advantage: Also an Ipod dock included (= only one cable to connect "two things" an internet radio and the ipod), plus can stream music, has a timer set to go on simultanously as the B&O, can be used seperately, nice build quality and screen, remote control. can be used seperately as a stand alone radio

    Little strange: the "line-out" can be controlled by the volume button

    203euro  (at redcoon, sold out on Amazon)

    He's quite happy.
