Those would make nice targets at the gun range.

One thing I've been doing forever is, whenever I get a new piece of technology, whether smartphone, tablet, AVR, etc, is to find the Settings or Options sections and go over the settings and adjust to my needs. To me, it's like any other tool; you need to know its capabilities to use it to its...

Just re-read your post.(I should be sleeping now 🤣) If you hardwired your shop router then you should have no issues getting wifi there. So you can also stream from your smartphone, tablet, etc. Plus your networked server.

Seems fine as you described it. As you already know, use the Ethernet port on the Wiim and one of your Aux analog inputs on the Sansui integrated amp. I bet you're gonna spend more time in your shop, now, if you go this route. Which is always a good thing.

If your older receiver has a coax/optical input, I would use those outputs on the Wiim to the receivers' input. The receivers DAC will do the conversion. If not, just use the analog output on the Wiim to an analog "IN" on your receiver. The Wiim DAC will do the conversion. What model receiver...

Not sure where your location is but there are many great used tablets on eBay, FBMP, etc. Be prepared to possibly swap out a battery if going this route. As far as ripping my CDs, since audio quality was always my main criteria, I rip uncompressed as a WAV file. Storage is so cheap that mp3...

If you have an unused or even daily-use tablet, you can install a SD card and the Wiim Home amp. If Android, I think it needs to be at least Android 7, which my Tab S2 is stuck at. Works great and you get a much bigger display. And, in the US, my cost for a 256GB card was under $20.

Also use EAC to rip CDs. Hasn't let me down yet and there are many output quality options and other settings to tweak/edit file names. https://www.exactaudiocopy.de/

Yes, the PC needs to always be on. For me, the advantage of using my tablet is that, unlike my smartphone, I can add a SD card of up to 1TB or so while also using the Wiim home app on that tablet to control the Pro.

I noticed that, as well. Probably at least 3 or 4 remasters from various years. Many albums/artists seem to do this. The Doors, Pink Floyd, etc.

Happy to report that Wiim app plays nice with an SD card on my Tab S2. There is no doubt that files do sound better than streaming services in many cases. Comparing WAV and FLAC to hi-res streams from Amazon and I notice less noise/hiss in more than a few tracks. Music just sounds more "alive"...

Oh, didn't know that was an option for Android...much appreciated!

I use Plex mostly for streaming my Blu-Rays that I backed up to an external HDD. For music to the Wiim Pro, between the tablet and AMZ Unlimited, I have the best of both worlds, now. But, I've read good things about bubbleupnp; on here and AVS forums.

That's what I'm trying to avoid. It's just more convenient to have all my music on my control device (Wiim Home app on tablet). I've used Plex for years and, for the most part, it works OK. It's just less steps overall to cast from my tablets' storage.

Just loaded some tracks on my current phone. Wiim plays them perfectly from internal storage and at full resolution. WAV, FLAC, all formats. Up to 24/192. Wish I thought to do this sooner. I'm gonna order a 256 or 512GB card for my Tab S2. Confirmed already that a 512 card is supported by the...

Thx; not a problem at all.

Tried to upgrade my phone order but it's in shipping now status. Good thing is I have a Samsung Tab S2 that I can add up to a 128GB microSD card to. So, I'll save over $40 vs changing my phone to the bigger storage option. And the Tab S2 is just a big, beautiful display. My 57 year old...

Yes, I have the Wiim Pro. I am gonna load up a few tracks to try out but was wondering if there were any caveats.

Thanks for the fast reply; that's much more convenient.

Ordering a Pixel 8 and I am thinking of getting 256GB storage to add a bunch of WAV/FLAC files instead of using Plex or another server. Will the Wiim Home app stream these files directly from my phones' storage card?
