If the track is 24/96 and the DAC is receiving 16/44.1 how is that not downsampling?

When I use Chromecast from the Amazon Music app to send music to the Wiim pro it down samples every to 16/44.1. Is there some way to get it to play the track in native quality? I know Chromecast is supposed to support higher bit depth and sample rates.

You can already if you enable DLNA server on your Plex box.

Anything I play through the Wiim home app doesn't count towards the frequent or recent lists. Where as playing something using the Amazon app does update those lists.

Realistically it should cost around what a Pi2AES costs.

I'm running Schiit Tyr Monoblocks.

I can but Alex had other problems. The queue is invisible, can't see the bit rate, it's super slow to respond to commands, and it doesn't like to play for long periods forcing me to go back into the app to resume.

Uh, all of them? Though I use Amazon exclusively so I don't know how the others work.

It would be very welcome to have the ability to add songs to a playlist or to favorites and create and delete playlists directly from the Wiim app.

EQ fundamentally is incapable of fixing most room issues. If you have a cancellation from room modes boosting to that freq. Will just make it cancel more. It does nothing to address decay times. You need an active correction system that's adding signal in the time domain to do that. EQ should...

A higher end streamer device. With features like: USB, AES & I2s output. Support fro Dirac, SoundID, or other room correction. A screen to display album art.

HoloAudio, makers of the May DAC, has their streamer the HoloAudio Red with a lot of these features already. It's only $800. Wiim could probably match it's feature set for half that price and it would have better software too.

The Hadal Zone by Opal Ocean: Acoustic instrumental rock/metal. Some of the better tracks are Time I Live, Point Of No Return, Micro Rave, Polycephaly, and Call to The Void.

Yep, the back is completely open.

I'd like something with more premium features than are on current devices, such as USB or I2s outputs, high resolution clocks or external clock input, display on device, support for Dirac or other digital room correction options.
