This is mine as well (iOS). Older version of Material?

My understanding is they’re addressing an implementation issue of the AKM DAC in there for a relatively small issue (IMD, I think). But it will not be fixable by a firmware update to original Rev. 1 models of the Plus. The only thing I got even close to Deep Purple is that long ago I shared a...

No, it’s up to us to save @Hollywood!😁

I hear you. But, not everybody has the budget to keep buying a new device. Squeezelite is a fraction of the size of Roon. And there are ways to accomplish a “firmware” switch. Perhaps we should have little faith that they could do it without introducing endless bugs.😁 Maybe not, but a user like...

If you choose to get a Plus, I would wait for the Rev. 2 stock to become available with the fix for the AK4493SEQ implementation. Is it a better DAC chip than the ESS9018 in your Modi+, yes it is. Is it something you will notice - depends on your system and ears. Schiit makes excellent products...

Is this confirmed for sure? I’d hate to throw away my 3 mini’s only to find out they have implemented squeezelite in the mini.

If you’re using analog out from the WiiM it can be a different story if your output is running hot. Not a problem for those of us using external DACs exclusively.

If you’re new to LMS and squeezeboxes it’s super important to first go to the LMS Settings/Players/Audio page for each squeezebox player (that’s your WiiM now) to set fixed volume. That’s how it works in the LMS universe.

Oh for sure, I’m talking native squeezelite. It’s kinda like we don’t expect them to recreate anybody else’s full service app in their interface. Native squeezelite is so much more rock solid as would be expected from the UPnP dumpster fire.

https://forums.slimdevices.com/ is a very friendly, helpful forum like here. They can help with all things LMS. @d6jg is like StarLord there.

And what’s really cool is I can use my Pi touchscreen picoreplayer with the Jivelite UI to control any of my “squeezed” Wiims throughout the music mansion. Just no VU meters. That is if any of my Pros would update.😢

No one should expect the WHA to be a squeezebox controller. Use the LMS web interface. IPeng, or the current state of art web interface with the Material skin. It’s easiest to save a browser view of the YourIP:9000/material address as a Home Screen app (assuming android has something similar to...

No update here either… at least I’ve scored some Paulaner Festbier to cry into. Happy Oktoberfest everybody!

I’m anxiously waiting for squeezelite…

Oh, BTW I concur with stick with LMS (especially for the Radio Paradise plugin) and use the Amazon Music phone app with AlexaCast. I was a Logitech audio dealer. Held up for 20 years as my music server.

I’ll raise you with… my first gaming console was a Magnavox Odyssey.🙀 Good Lord, when did I get old?

I’m beginning to think the upgrade server is a 486 running OS/2 hooked up on a 1200 baud dial-up.

If you don’t mind wiping clean the Mac Mini - Daphile runs on older Macs just fine and will give you a pretty speedy LMS. Might run from a USB stick if I remember and you can test before installing to the internal storage. It’s Intel, I presume.

Still waiting…

The six filters are a feature of the AK4493SEQ DAC implemented in the Pro Plus. It’s optional to implement user switching of filters. This feature is not in the DAC used in the mini or Pro. The AK4493SEQ is a big step up in sound quality (on a good stereo system) from the mini/Pro. Definitely...
