Wave radio to Denon 3806 receiver

Hi,

I have a Denon 3806/Paradigm studio 60 setup and I'm looking to connect my Bose Wave radio to it (spare the laughs, I got it as a gift!). Anyways, so the Bo$e has a headphone output and a Bose link output which is some kind of proprietary interface. I think I could use a mini to RCA audio cable to connect the headphone output on the Bose to my receiver, but is there any way I can use the Bose link output to get better audio quality? I thought maybe there is some kind of hardware I can buy to go from the Bose link to my Denon, but maybe not.

Thanks!

This company may have an adapter that would convert the BoseLink 9-pin connector to RCA's, but I would just use the headphone out.

Both outputs should carry the same analog audio, so the sound quality would be the same. The headphone jack probably has variable output, so you will need to watch the volume level on the Wave radio...probably set it at 25-30% for best results.

I'm at a loss, could you explain why you would want to do this? The Denon has a tuner (duh!), so what possible benefit could you gain by doing this?

My thoughts exactly.

Maybe he wants to see if the alarm will play through his main system? That'd wake him up for sure, and the neighbors too probably.

Well what happens is that for now I'm using my DVD player to play my CDs, but one of my CDs won't play on the DVD player but does play on the Wave radio. I bought the CD in question but from my research it seems maybe it is recorded on a CD-R so it doesn't play in my DVD player but plays in my wave radio. Anyways, until I get the time to do my research and get a good CD player in my budget I want to use the wave radio to play that CD.

Thanks.
