Hi, I'm new to this forum and am looking for some advice / recommendation. I've have just purchased a Zeppelin Wireless. For the past twenty odd years I had an old Rotel analogue amp and mission speakers. Over the years I bought different separates to hook up to it. Technology started to overtake me two years ago when my sons bought me a blueray player with only digital outputs. I overcame this by purchasing a digital to analogue converter, problem solved. I'm now in 'old man' down size mode and would like to play all my music and cds through the Zeppelin and dump the amp and speakers as they are knackered. I hooked up phonos from the converter to the 3.5 input on the Zeppelin but the sound was distorted. My zeppelin sounds great via Spotify and Bluetooth. Is the converter too powerful? Could the lead be poor quality? I've also just started thinking about getting a Bluetooth transmitter from the Blueray to the Zeppelin as an alternative , thoughts and advice please.

Thanks for your reply Lucid. Yeah, all worked fine with the adapter and the rotel, was a different lead though, phono to phono. I do appreciate that the quality with Bluetooth will not be as good. I stream 95% of my music via highest quality Spotify nowadays, so a low cost solution similar to that would be sufficient.
Lucid, checked settings in the Blueray player, they were correct. Reversed the leads, tried new leads all played perfectly through the amp, and phone directly to amp and Zeppelin. Accept as my previous issue, poor quality from converter to zeppelin.
Thanks Lucid, I was thinking same. That's why I'm thinking of going down the Bluetooth route from the Blueray to the Zeppelin. I don't know anything about Bluetooth transmitters or their compatibility with a Blueray player as most people seem to use them with headphones.
