How far is not near?Hi,
Recently bought the Wiim amp which is connected to my TV and speakers.
I have a turntable in the same room but not near the Wiim and was wondering how I can get the TT to connect to the Wiim and play music to the speakers.
Appreciate the help!
Hey,How far is not near?
A little unusual not to have a source fairly close to an amp for just this reason!
Assuming the TT has a line out (or you have a separate phono stage) then I assume a long set of leads...
Or... get a pro plus
TT into pro plus (still need line out from TT or phono stage), and group the pro and the amp.
Yes. When you pair two WiiM devices they are sharing the audio lossless over network (WiFi or Ethernet) connection. It is like the difference between AirPlay vs BT.In terms of sound quality, is hooking the TT up to a pro plus better than getting a BT transmitter and doing it this way?
I have roughly 3 metres of cable carrying line out from turntable to amp. After reading people talking about shielding and so on I bought some good quality thick RCA audio cable to replace the rather thin headphone style cable I had been using. Roped my son in with his younger ears to help judge but neither of us could detect any difference.If so, you might get away with a long set of leads, indeed. If long means 3 meters or more of unbalanced (and usually rather poorly shielded) cable this is unfavorable, to say the least.
Glad to hear it's working fine for you (and I have absolutely no intention to question that).I have roughly 3 metres of cable carrying line out from turntable to amp.

Streaming via LMSI have a similar issue, I've not solved it but I'm getting there.
My Linn LP12 is on a different wall to the rest of my gear. I rarely use it nowadays but occasionally get the urge to spin some vinyl
My amp is a Cambridge Audio CXA610 which has onboard aptXHD bluetooth. It sounds great from my phone! So I thought I'd try that. Bought a cheap aptX transceiver and cheap phono preamp. It sounds crap
Curious to discover the weak link in the chain, I tried a RCA cable (3m long) between my TT and amp. It sounds great! I can live with this but it's very 'last century' so:
I have a few Wiim minis so I relocated one to my TT preamp & linked it to my 'main' Wiim. It sounds great! Problem solved I guess but I'm reluctant to spend £90 to replace a £5 cable!
I'm still playing with this. I think it can be done in (too) many ways. Streaming via LMS is my next play thing
AFAIK the Wiim amp doesn't support aptXHD so Bluetooth is a poor choice for you.

SBC/AAC have often been quoted - indeed on checking, the manuals for the Pro, Pro Plus and Amp all state thatTo the best of my knowledge WiiM/Linkplay don't explicitly mention which codecs are supported
I stand corrected.SBC/AAC have often been quoted - indeed on checking, the manuals for the Pro, Pro Plus and Amp all state that
