The Android audio device connected to any dac with usb, goes 48KHz for anything up to 48KHz and goes 192khz for anything over 48KHz. My S22 does the same, my old Huawei s10 did the same but up to 96KHz. If you want to use Tidal connected by USB at the right sampling rate of song, you should use...

If that's any consolation, even Bluetooth of iPad pro has so much latency, that makes impossible playing guitar with any modeling app. Any string pick arrive at least half a second late. It's a common behavior of most Bluetooth systems. With the removal of headphones jack, they made me...

At the moment, the WiiM mini toslink connected to a dac, sounds as well as the pro. Limitations are just from the versatility point of view but in the near future who knows if some good features will be missing due to processing power?

Maybe are you using the mini from ipad through Airplay2? This could explain the 44.1KHz 16bit. You should choice directly WiiM mini, not with Airplay2

What resolution does Tidal and WiiM apps saying? Did you set correctly Tidal audio stream preferences?

Maybe this could help, if I power my iPhone doing guitar modeling, connected to a powered speaker, if I use an Huawei power supply, I get some hum noise, especially when string are not touched. If I use the original iPhone power supply, no hum at all... You could try another power or change the...

There are standardized voltage levels vs dB(x), for professional and consumers both but in the years of cd players, such 2Vrms for 0 dBu has emerged as standard de facto. That's the reason why all those tested equipment show the same line level (even WiiM let choice for 2Vrms). This means that...

Yes, it should be. If you look at ASR test for example, near all dac's, even those of mine (one with volume, the other fixed), at 1Khz 0dB, generally shows around 2Vrms unbalanced output.

No, that time did not used the scope. Just jumped seamless from a source to another and no differences in volume were appreciable, differences were only in more decise attack of ride shots and more air on acoustic guitar strumming, on the modern dac. I think both devices, CD and DAC, were...

In all similar test I did with different dac's, volume was the same of a couple of players that were in use. Maybe I was lucky, anyway many dac's have volume control.

Did you set the max bit depth in WiiM app Tidal preferences? And what about playing with tidal connect?

I can only say that my room (L shape and 6.40 m long) has some acoustic drawbacks that I have no permission to manage. Before Dirac, I used the mini's PEQ to correct a couple of narrow holes around 50 and 70Hz and some over reflection around 1kHz. The results were encouraging but the missing...

I agree, after timing correction among subwoofer and speakers, room's resonance nodes are less invasive and the before wery tight "sweet point", it's now acceptable even for people sitting beside me and I got no more, excessive boomy points.

It's the easiest situation for comparison. Connect both digital and analog to same amp, start a CD then switch back and fort. Having no delay and synchronized sound, will be bias proof. As for me, I checked that a good 2004's player was slightly worst than a cheap new ESS dac. And about...

Yes but I completely trusted what can does Dirac, after witnesses how much it can improves even on a well known and well prepared showroom, in my town...
