    Hi,
    I bought a Marantz SR5005 and a set of Q Acoustics a few years ago off Richersounds, and they are still going strong. 

    I want a way of listening to Spotify and Apple Music via the receiver and my Q Acoustics speakers. Currently, I just connect my phone to the receiver via an RCA cable 

    I looked at the Marantz MCR511 on your website as a way of playing streamed music, but from what I can see I'd have to connect this device separately to my speakers?? 

    I also looked at the Sonos Connect as I think I can connect it to my receiver, but it's a bit pricey.

    I'm confused about what I need.

    Can you help?

    HI silvine, if you are wanting to keep using your phone, but just not have to have it connected, you could look at simply a bluetooth adapater to wirelessly play from your phone. There is also the QED uPLay stream, which is a wifi version, but won't allow you to play spotify from your phone

    You could look at the Denon Heos Link - http://www.richersounds.ie/p-12836-heos-link.aspx at £199/€279 - This is the same idea as the Sonos connect, which basically plugs into your amp as a source. #

    Have a look at this and let me know what you think

    Cheers
    Brian

    Does the Heos Link work with Google Music or Apple Music?

    Hi silvine,

    Yes, if you're using the Spotify/Apple music from your phone/tablet it will play both.

    Cheers
