Toslink receivers are all fragile. They often break, even on more expensive equipment.

I had the same issue today. I noticed that the same tracks on Qobuz playing through the WiiM app were louder than playing through LMS's Qobuz app, even though I had the fixed volume setting activated in LMS. I set the volume control to variable in LMS (at 100%) and no longer heard a difference...

This is not new, unfortunately. The word "connect" has always been used (at least on the android app) to display AirPlay & Chromecast players.

I read that Qobuz connect is being beta-tested with partners now. Is WiiM involved?

Have you tested this recently, and if so, how?

That sounds like a very plausible explanation, and somewhat reassuring. But it would be good if they could fix this, and "guarantee" what they advertise.

My DAC does not display sample rates. As mentioned previously, it has a build-in bit-perfect test that displays a character ("P") when the test is successful. So with a Qobuz playlist I can only see the change of sample rate on the WiiM app, and it displays it correctly.

When I play a Qobuz playlist with songs of different sample rates the correct sample rates are displayed on the WiiM app, that's not a problem.

I copied the files on my phone and now none of them pass the test, even when played individually. I also tried playing them from my phone through USB Audio Player Pro (through UPNP, with bit-perfect setting), and that fails as well. In my previous tests, these two configurations were...

So this confirms what I found? Will check with files played from my phone as suggested above.

I just did

No. Maybe WiiM can give us some feedback on all this.

How many seconds are your test tracks? The test tracks provided by my DAC's manufacturer are between 3 and 5 seconds long. The check is performed on the whole track.

My DAC does not display the sample rates. It just displays an indicator (P) when the test succeeds.

That's odd. Maybe WiiM can give us some feedback on their test protocol.
