GA Russell Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 I receive catalogues from Audio Advisor. Recently I have seen stereo components with USB and ethernet ports. Is there any purpose for these other than plugging them into your computer or the internet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Garrett Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Depending on the specific component, USB ports can also be used to connect to external storage devices (portable hard drives or flash drives). I have 2TB and 1TB portable drives that I have connected to my Blu-ray player via the USB port. I mainly use them to stream locally-stored video files to the player, but have also used them to stream music files as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted December 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Thanks, Dave. That hadn't occurred to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggery peccary Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 My Rotel has a USB-A port that allows me to connect and Apple device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bresna Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 I have a Raspberry Pi music player that I output to my Marantz integrated amp using USB. It sounds really good too. It's extremely easy to playback my digitized music library now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
