Yes, "no difference" that's the point of a digital interconnect in the first place - unlike an analogue interconnect where a distortion or loss cannot be detected/resolved by the interconnect. Also at even the higher rates a music stream is not exactly a "complex signal", its more "the slowest...
There is absolutely no difference between an optical and a coax transmission carrying the same SPDIF signal. Also generating an electrical digital data stream for coax is no different to generating an optical one by exciting an LED, the results are the identical digital data, no nuances...
NO. Neither can sound better than the other as they are transferring identical digital data. The only difference is if you are getting failures so experience actual audible drop outs etc. Either can suffer from these due to kinks in optical cable or poor electrical connection for coax...
Perhaps it could pulse gently for 44kHz but flash like a mentalist banshee for 192kHz 😎 ...this may not be the most practical suggestion, and would probably be REALLY annoying if it caught your eye
🤔
Another vote for direct Bandcamp support 👍 As the WiiM mini does NOT support Chromecast and apparently never will (unlike the Pro... which I don't have).
I'm just using Alexa echo speaker in same room as voice control for the WiiM, can't see me ever wanting a multiroom setup with SAME music playing in every room etc. ... makes no sense to me that the "Amazon Music HD/UHD" option seems to have been set to OFF by default :unsure: as wanting "UHD"...
Thanks Wiimer and Brantome, I was literally just looking at that very setting when your replies popped up. Wondering what it did and why it was set to OFF :rolleyes: Set it to ON now and playback of track initiated from Alexa now playing at the 96kHz :cool:
Set up my WiiM mini yesterday and all is ok but I noticed when I ask Alexa to play a track from Amazon Music that is actually 96 kHz (their UHD) it only plays at CD quality 44 kHz on the WiiM. If I play the same Amazon Music track from within WiiM app it plays on the WiiM at 96 kHz. I have...
