I’d make the same point - why talk of lossy compressed formats these days when we have lossless formats like FLAC, particularly in the context of WiiM’s bit perfect playback? I wouldn’t consider any lossy codec as “modern” when we have relatively unlimited storage and bandwidth.May be I am living on a different planet...but today bandwidth as an important factor while we are talking about HiRes, bit perfect and so on? "Modern" in my eyes is to have NO bandwidth limitations.
What comes instantly to my mind first is that they need timePeople that have more than 30000 songs in their media library need OPUS.
You may /need/ OPUS as is your prerogative, but people in general don’t necessarily need it for audiophile domestic use. Many of us are more than happy using FLAC which doesn’t rely on any psycho-acoustic lossy compression (or whatever it uses to achieve its small file sizes) given that the cost of storage and network bandwidth are comparatively more available and at a lesser cost than when these lossy, space saving codecs were invented.People that have more than 30000 songs in their media library need OPUS.
My WiiM Amp plays AAC encoded MP4 files just fine, either from my NAS (Synology DLNA) or from my USB thumb drive (WiiM's DLNA, apparently based on miniDLNA).I don't think Wiim Amp plays AAC either.
AAC file is listed but no sound when played.
OPUS, mp4 is not listed at all.
This is using Wiim Amp desktop app connected to NAS via DLNA.
