Peterbean Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 questions... I see you can plug an aux in, so does that mean you can connect a computer (through the aux or usb?) can you plug in a portable device? Can it bluetooth to an audio device?

CT-7567 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) I recently got one of these. Very versatile bit of gear! Yes, you can connect to a computer via the RCA aux in. The best way IMO is via optical/toslink. That way you can take advantage of the DAC in the WXC-50. The USB is only for music stored on thumbdrives. Not sure about plugging in an iphone etc. With bluetooth, you can: Play music from your phone/tablet to the WXC-50 Play streaming/networked music OUT to a bluetooth headphone/speaker Edited November 17, 2019 by CT-7567 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
