Hello - I’m looking at adding the S50 Pro+ to my boat. Would this unit work connected to a marine amplifier with 4 ohm marine speakers? Would it be sufficient to use this devie? Please see specs below.

Your eardrums would probably be ringing anyway, if you thought that it was going to be an issue, add a voltage divider circuit on the Arylic outputs.
I’ll draw you a sketch if you are interested.
Thanks for the heads up. I did not realize the input sensitivity. Appreciate the feedback. Any thoughts on how this streamer may work with a car or marine AMP?
Thanks Steve - So, the S10 would work better? Sorry, the input sensitivity never registered with me. I guess i was looking at the Aptx streaming and better dac. If i connected via optical, wouldn’t that work. Ultimately trying to find the best way to connect a streamer into this amp(or any marine amp) to get hi res music.
I was just thinking that you were buying features that you might not need, however if you want ‘better’ sound then your initial choice would be a better option for you.
Thanks, so you could connect to the amp via optical and get good sound? Would the amp relay the hifi music to the speakers? Sorry, learning along the way
