I want to use a non B&O Power Amp with my Playmaker. I tried to use a 5v to 12v DV converter to trigger the mains relay I have but this didn't work. I've looked everywhere but can find a Powerlink trigger for using non B&O power amplifier with powerlink. My aim is to use a Quad or Valve power amp with the Playmaker instead of a Beolink Passive. Is all i need is for the trigger to switch the amp on.

This is a bit pricey but I like the look of it: Keene AC Powerswitch Relay Or Trigger Control for Iot Arduino Raspberry Pi ESP32 KPS1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0765WBGK6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WBMC7Z5CASDSQ1Q8Z6VG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
