    WiiM and TIDAL connect

    I forgot to say that WiiM mini it's now toslink connected to Nad 3050LE amp and works gapless. Up to a couple of months ago, it was hooked to a SMSL DO100 dac and it worked well also. As far I remember, I didn't checked in between so I can't say if the recent bunch of updates of Tidal (iOS and...

    WiiM and TIDAL connect

    What exactly mean with "fail"? No connection at all or no gapless? My WiiM mini works perfectly with both Tidal connect and WiiM app, in gapless way at full resolution, disregard I'm using android 14 or iOS to control.

    Bluetooth Receiver FiiO BTR3K: Codec SBC instead of AAC

    I think so, I just connected my S22 to WiiM, using Bluetooth and it gone with AAC, without my choice. On android developer options i can then change to SBC. Anyway no protocol options on wiim side. Perhaps this can be consolatory, some time ago I saw some lab tests that also compared the...

    Bluetooth Receiver FiiO BTR3K: Codec SBC instead of AAC

    I guess SBC is the only option when transmitting. I did some check with SMSL dac with Bluetooth capable of any flavor up to LDAC but no option to choice which protocol on WiiM so the connection goes only SBC.

    Hans YouTube review from Friday

    In the overall consideration, even blood pressure, air temperature and humidity, stress from changing connections and moving gears, weather micro variations, earth's magnetic field and solar wind are parameters to take in count and very hard to measure in a given time. Whilst it's possible to...

    Since position could vary with operating system, the red circle is where touch on android and ios, when tidal app is playing something. Then you can choice the required streamer, WiiM or whatever...

    Tidal Connect volume stopped working; Spotify Connect works

    In the last week I saw at least two or more updates on android and ios side of Tidal app. Time ago I started have some volume control qirks even using Bluos app but now, after last update, all seems working back well.

    Qobuz Connect

    I think MQA suffered from bad press. It is/was a good way to reduce bandwidth and space, without affect quality. Nowadays these aspects are became lesser important but I don't think Tidal's residual MQA should be the reason to choice or not. What most don't realize is that MQA in not lossy...

    Tidal Master e Wiim pro plus

    They are generally residual MQA files, not coming from hi-res masters. They are delivered on 44.1KHz 16bit flac, that after MQA first unfold, done by wiim, became 24bit 88.2KHz. The majority of original hi-res files, are now delivered with hi-res flac. I think MQA it's not so bad,it was just...

    Tidal plan changes

    That's true. I recently got a Nad C3050LE that digitizes even anything analog it receives and does volume and room correction in digital domain. Nevertheless its results are exceptional and definitely convinced me that obsessively keeping signal path untouched, it's just a state of mind or an...

    Tidal plan changes

    Yes any streaming service, has its API and therefore interfaces from external apps look different. Also how those external app are developed, can lead to visual and functional differences. For exemple, WiiM app use of Tidal, is similar but looks slightly different from the same done from bluos...

    Tidal plan changes

    I confirm this but very rare on wiim and always lesser than 30 sec. It happens a little bit more frequently using bluos, that among others little quirks, updates playback time on Tidal connect every 5 seconds only, letting lyrics scroll out of sync...

    Tidal plan changes

    Sometimes it has and sometimes no. I mean sometimes I can start two streams, one on connect wiim or bluos and one on Tidal app itself, without any warning and sometimes Tidal awake itself and say me that another stream is already on and I must choice which one continue to use. I didn't do...

    Tidal plan changes

    Spotify connect reaches about anything in the world... Tidal connect only those someone decided to make compatible... Said this, when Tidal connect is supported, it works wery well. The main difference is that with Spotify, you can do cross control of different devices. Don't know if is still...

    Tidal plan changes

    Remember that if you're student, at any age, you could already pay half price. Haven't received any mail yet... Am I wrong or looking at the announcement, it seems that hifi tier will rise and the hifi plus, quite half the fee. I don't know what are the percentages, so has it to be overall...

    App language

    Again, the Italian word "Palcoscenico" instead of "Fase", for "Stage" during update, reappeared. I'm sure that the previous update was correctly reporting "Fase"...

    Stereoreview X review compared with a Bluesound

    It's some months that a Nad C3050LE arrived in my home. It has a pcm5242 and digitizes everything came to the (few) analog inputs. I was worried about such oldies chips but Dirac (and depth dimension) was the absolute reason to get it. I already tested it on a showroom and it was stunning, so I...

    Qobuz versus Tidal for WiiM Pro Plus

    I would remind that Tidal has a half priced student plan. Likely a student is present on any home... Regarding better sound quality, always from the same given streaming supplier, it's quite an urban legend, especially from when Tidal's switched to hi-res Flac, there is high probability that...

    What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

    I would like to see something like Flex minidsp with Dirac but running at 96KHz and a half the price.. 😎
