I cannot speak for the Pro Plus but the Mini connected to a Mojo 2 is miles better than through the Mini’s DAC. It really is the overused ‘night and day’.

There are so many different versions/remasters of Dreams on Amazon Music it means you may not be comparing apples with apples. In my AM setup the default Rumours album also inexplicably plays a live version instead of any album studio version forcing a hunt for another album remaster.

I had been considering upgrading my WiiM Mini to a WPP because the Squeezelite client is not available on the Mini but since I would be no better off than now (I already use the UPnP Bridge and my music is currently encoded as ALAC) then it gives me cause to reconsider. As mentioned, I could...

Thanks Agon123. Just to clarify, you have found the only way to play ALAC on a WPP is not to use the Squeezelite client built into the WiiM but use the UPnP Bridge plugin instead? Or have I misinterpreted?

I accepted the WiiM Mini would never have a native Squeezelite client available after being told there was not enough space left for it (at least without removing existing functions) but I find this reason difficult to reconcile with the new Mini roadmap which seems to be intending to add a...

Thanks both. I had not realised the syncing referred to multi-room. I can certainly vouch for the fact that it works with Airplay.

I have used both uPNP and Airplay with LMS to my Mini, the latter only when multi-room play is needed. Can I ask what advantage there is to syncing?

Am I correct in thinking this is only an android solution? Anything decent for iOS? Mind you, I too would still prefer for it to be incorporated into the WHA if possible.

So I presume this setting would best be set to 16/44.1 if all the music played via LMS is from lossless rips of CDs?

Some contributors here question why someone might want to have USB out in a product which already has a DAC and amplifier. I can foresee a significant proportion of buyers subsequently wishing to upgrade from the WiiM Amp at some point with a better DAC and/or amp. As things stand it means (at...

Just checking in to say @Brantome and @castalla ’s advice was spot on (thanks). There were only one or two places where it was not immediately obvious (to me at least) what to do from the piCorePlayer‘s website documentation, but not enough to completely derail setting up LMS on the RPi. So I am...

Thanks both for the sage advice. I will give this a good go.

Thank you for the rapid reply. So piCorePlayer needs to be installed on an SD card instead of Raspberry OS? Sorry for the newbie questions.

I would appreciate some advice please. I managed to get a Raspberry Pi 4B with the intention of experimenting with LMS by connecting it to my WiiM Mini (I did not like the idea of having to continuously run a fan with the Raspberry Pi 5). I have been able to put it together and have the latest...

Have a listen to see if there is any difference. I have a feeling that it will be a close call.
