Marantz NA7004 internet tuner with ethernet only input (no wifi), to accept Google 4k Chromecast HDMI

[georgehifi]

Help please I'm hopeless with networking etc.
I use my computer which I can play Radio Paradise (in HQ Flac mode) and it can recognize and cast to a 4k Google Chromecast that has hdmi output. I would like this hdmi to hook up to the Marantz ethernet input somehow. Any ideas???

Cheers George

From a quick look at the spec, this player does not have a wireless connection.
So you will need an Ethernet connection from your computer to the player. Ethernet cables are not expensive and are available in many lengths.
Then from the computer check that the network settings see everything.
From there "Stream to device" should work from many programs.

That's the way I have it now but it NA7004) can't find "Radio Paradise" "flac quality selection", only MP3, but Radio Paradise on my computer does, and can cast to the Chromecast.
I can't see how to send it (RP flac music) over the hard wired ethernet connection from the computer to the NA7004, how is that done?

No idea with your radio paradise.
To stream FLAC recordings stored on the PC I use Media player. (Yes I know, but it works for me!)
As an example Spotify will stream itself to the Marantz from my PC, but only MP3 quality files.
