In my experience the best BBC Sounds app is the plugin for Logitech Media Server (LMS) for Squeezebox players which I have installed on a Raspberry Pi using the piCorePlayer software. You can also install LMS on a Windows machine, Apple Mac/ Macbook or Linux. The WiiM Pro can act as a player so...

Thanks, reading this and other posts I realised it was likely to be the cable. I am using the cable that came with the WiiM which seems to have a good track record so tried checking the connections first Plugged in firmly at both ends so that wasn't it. Cleaned the ends with a lens cleaning...

WiiM Pro into Chord Qutest DAC using optical out. I have previously been playing Amazon music at 24/192 without a problem, but since the last update there is no sound when setting it to either 24/192 or 16/192. All other settings work fine, including 24/96. I have tried a factory reset to no...

Passion for Sound has just released a grovelling apology for suggesting that there is no point in buying anything more expensive than a WiiM Pro, and now says that much costlier streamers are better if the rest of your system is high end enough. I think he will have got push back from some high...

Agree, all the mainstream services support Chromecast. I held off buying the mini and waited for the Pro for that reason. Question: is Chromecast ever gapless? Is this something WiiM could implement, or is it inherent in the Chromecast system?

I have just watched the Passion for Sound video, a reviewer I usually respect. He is absolutely convinced that the digital output from the WiiM mini is much poorer than from the Pro, which is a bit of a mystery and surprises me. If it actually is the case, then the output from the mini...

If the Mini can output at the maximum bit rate of the service you are using, then there will be no difference in sound quality between it and even a £2,000+ device if you are just using it as a streamer. If the processor struggled to keep up, then that would manifest itself in glitchy playback...

It all sounds awesome! I've had the Naim amps forever and love their energy. There was a huge improvement with the Fyne speakers which I bought last year. Together they sounded fun, but not that subtle. I was using a Raspberry Pi based Squeezebox / LMS streamer and simple PCB DAC. Music from...

Out of interest, what was wrong or worse about the Bluesound node? My system: WiiM Pro (fixed volume, no eq) Chord Qutest Dac Naim NAC72 - NAP140 pre-power amps Fyne F501 SP floorstanding speakers Apps: Amazon Music Unlimited, Spotify, Idagio

Idagio please! Your main rivals, Sonos and Bluesound, have it. Currently my only option is casting from my phone which annoyingly resamples everything.
