This is a critical point that gets lost with too many specs and features focused individuals. The non-fussy app and its constant software development is worth the price of admission compared to so many others. Agreed, I don't see the value there at all. They will be forced to up their game...

Yes, Moode, Volumio, piCorePlayer, possibly others too. Ooops, off-topic for the pricing thread. Derailed again (by me).

It does mean they are DLNA/UPnP endpoints, and that has always been a feature.

In stating that here, I was repeating what had already been mentioned prior. Peace out to this forum.

Thats also how you can set aggressive price targets and actually hit them as a manufacturer. Feature creep inevitably means a higher price, so if you plan to stick to the target then the features have to be locked/frozen at some point fairly early in the design process.

It has been stated previously in this very thread, it is both a USB input and output. You can use it either way, and if you require both simultaneously (i.e. output to a DAC and input from a storage device) then you can connect a USB hub to expand the number of ports.

Are there any additional details available, for example is this going to be AKM or ESS-based in terms of the onboard DAC?

Exactly, we've all lost track of the number of different straw man arguments being constructed there.

Good point, I should have said:

No thats not what I meant at all, your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired. You've once again chosen to disregard the thread title's tongue in cheek aspect, and ignore the OP's stated disclaimer, while parroting your measurements or bust lecture/dogma. As I said, that goes over...

The truly astonishing part is just how many members choose to completely ignore the stated disclaimer in the OP, instead getting up on a soapbox and once again waxing poetic about measurements, and stipulating what is the so-called "required" spend vs. the delusional. Get over it, or if you...

You skipped right past the disclaimer in the OP, didn't you?

You are supposed to setup via the browser address pCP.local, just use an Ethernet connection temporarily to do the initial setup including WiFi, then once thats done you can disconnect the Ethernet cable. To the best of my knowledge, there is no GUI via a monitor and keyboard as you are...

Which software do you have running on the RPi? I use exactly the setup you describe, currently my instance of LMS runs on piCorePlayer. In the past I'd also had an instance of Ubuntu hosting LMS running on a Raspberry Pi 4B, and that too just worked.

I'm just gonna stay right on the edge of my seat, worried sick, bottle of whisky at my side to ease the pain.

I'm going to be worried sick about this, probably have to resort to whisky.

Yes, there have been at least 3 generations of that speaker. To the best of my knowledge the Stanmore II did not have an optical input, but it would appear from your post that other versions do. There is such a thing, but I believe it is analog only on the Stanmore, actually a 16/48 ADC.

The Marshall Stanmore speaker does not have an optical input. Your options for connecting the WiiM Mini to that speaker are analog (3.5mm or RCA), or Bluetooth.

I would consider that only when every last trace of MQA has been vanquished, which might be soon.

I'm curious if WiiM will have any official stance for why they have entirely removed Qobuz Connect from the product road map? How do we go from a Qobuz live stream event one year ago in which it was stated that WiiM would be the first integration partner to offer the Qobuz Connect feature, to a...
