The bit rate for WiiM Mini on the output is 24/192kHz for aux-out and SPDIF.

Agree. I’ve been thinking about picking up a Schiit Modi+.

I know it’s overboard to have multiple streaming subscriptions but our family is little fanatical about music. :). I mainly use Apple Music for the convenience but since picking up the WiiM Mini I’d love to know which streaming platform is best optimized for hi res streaming since my receiver...

I subscribe to Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon, and occasionally stream Spotify (free). For whatever reason, Apple Music via Airplay to the WiiM mini sounds consistently better to my ears which is surprising given the limitations of Airplay 2.

I understand if my Wiim mini is connected via Aux out I’m limited to 16/44.1, so then which streaming service (i.e. Amazon Music HD, Apple Music (ALAC/Airplay 2), Tidal (Master), and Spotify) will provide the highest stream quality to the Wiim mini? Since Apple is limited to Airplay 2 am I...

Yes, 24/96 seems to be the max my TX-8220 will support which is still a big improvement over streaming via my receivers built in Bluetooth connection. Overall, I much prefer the sound quality I’m hearing with DAC in the receiver over the Wiim Mini. I’m liking the Wiim Mini so much I decided to...

So I’ve been experimenting with Optical vs. aux output on the Wiim mini connected via optical to my receiver (Onkyo TX-8220). Interestingly I don’t think my receiver support 24/192 because when I attempt to play the sample sound in the WiiM app there is no audio. If I switch my input from...

But I assume the bitrate is reduced anyways if I’m streaming ALAC via Airplay 2, correct?

Thank you! I’ll give optical a try. I’m connecting to an Onkyo TX8220 receiver.

what Is the difference between optical out vs 3.5 mm aux out on the Wiim mini? im connecting my Wiim mini to a stereo receiver. Is the sound quality better with optical?
