Cheapest endpoint

Audio Gear Talk

Pretty much as it says. If I want just a cheap endpoint to drive an existing pre amp input, and most likely via WiFi, what’s out there for minimal.money? It’s for a second system, so does not need to have an internal amp, HDD etc…and preferably quite small!
Thanks.

Your second Amazon link is for a 6.25mm to phono. That would require another adaptor for the CCA, which is 3.5mm jack.

Something like this would be Better.

I built a similar one, using a transparent case from Amazon. It was easy and worked perfectly the first time. Connected to my Yamaha receiver and sounds lovely.
