    Clicks & pops playing 352.8 kHz files on WiiM Pro Plus

    They advertise 768 kHz sampling rate . They should support it.

    Casting with Chromecast versus Wiim app.

    Not only that, but the original Chromecast audio only supports 96 kHz - not sure if the protocol supports 192 kHz. Also, there is no provision for gapless playback with Chromecast audio playback (except with Roon, I don't know how they got this to work). Best to use the WiiM app and enjoy 192...

    Any DSD features on Pro Plus?

    With a whole house audio system it is unfortunately not practical to insert the disc into the player. The player is physically much too far away from the listening position A disc player is also not made to handle multiple zones, either, so you have to be really creative with the distribution...

    Any DSD features on Pro Plus?

    Seems some people got triggered, sigh. I won't pretend that I can hear the difference between an SACD/DSD and 24/192 kHz. And I'm not here to debate DSD/SACD merits vs PCM. However, I do have a sizeable collection of SACDs, started in 1999 when the format came out. For a long time, SACD was the...

    Android WiiM home app landscape mode support for tablets

    Thanks ! This looks good. I just tried it, and it worked for me on the Tab S9 Ultra also.

    Galaxy tab 8

    The Android OS itself does not support Airplay, but the WiiM app on Android sure does ! Airplay is just another network protocol based on TCP/IP. My Marantz SR7011 is a 2016 model that does not support AlexaCast or Chromecast. It supports DLNA and AirPlay. In the WiiM Android app, go to Device...

    What amp do you run with your Wiim Pro+?

    I'm using the 7.1 multi-channel input on old (one could say, very old, all pre-2010) non-HDMI AVRs - 3 from Denon, and one from Pioneer Elite. Couldn't tell you the exact model off the top of my head. Each of the 4 receivers drives 3 stereo zones, for a total of 12 zones. One streamer is...

    Test WIIM pro+ with different power supplies

    No, it doesn't prove more expensive PSUs could be better. There are usually diminishing returns, and the audio quality probably plateaus at some level. My experiment shows what can happen with a low-quality PSU though - it can definitely make the audio worse. I personally think the PSU that...

    Test WIIM pro+ with different power supplies

    I can attest that the PSU can make a huge difference. It did with my Chromecast audios, unexpectedly. But I wasn't buying audiophile PSUs. 4 years ago, wanting fewer wall warts and better cable organization, I tried connecting two sets of 6 CCAs each to a 6-port USB charging station made by...

    Any DSD features on Pro Plus?

    I filed a ticket for this, too. Everyone else who own a Pro Plus should.

    WiiM Pro vs Pro Plus

    Specs state the Pro Plus DAC goes up to 768 kHz. I didn't try it that high, but I did try FLAC files at 352.8 kHz (DSD conversions to PCM, since DSD support is actually not there on the + as advertised). The files played fine, except for the last 3 seconds of each track which had pops/clicks. I...

    WiiM Pro vs Pro Plus

    If you are talking about WiiM specs, the app allows me to select 24 bits / 192 kHz for both optical and coax SPDIF. I haven't tried them yet with my receiver's DAC. In the past, with other devices, my experience was that 24/96k over coax was the practical limît, but 24/192k over optical is...

    Clicks & pops playing 352.8 kHz files on WiiM Pro Plus

    Hi, I am playing a playlist of 32 352.8 kHz 24-bit PCM stereo files (converted from DSD, since the native DSD support is not there yet) onto my WiiM Pro Plus. I am streaming them from JRiver Media Center 31 for Windows over DLNA. For almost every file I play, in the last 3 seconds of the...

    Android WiiM home app landscape mode support for tablets

    My brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra sits in landscape mode 100% of the time, in its official keyboard case. I cannot rotate the tablet without losing the case protection, as well as keyboard input, which I want to use for complex searches - I hate touch screen virtual keyboards. Please fix...

    Landscape Android tablet

    It doesn't work for me either on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

    Galaxy tab 8

    I haven't tried enabling it, but the WiiM home Android app shows my two Marantz Airplay-compatible receivers (SR7011 and SR8015), so I believe AirPlay can work on Android too.

    DSD with JRiver MC31 / DLNA ?

    Thanks. I logged a ticket earlier today, it is #492511 . They told me they are working on addressing it. I tried evaluating the DAC yesterday vs my Marantz SR-7011 built-in DAC, but there were too many variables I didn't account for, in particular the volume. And I just discovered when using...
