Stack my DAC on top of my Pro

[FerengiROA]

Waiting for my SMSL C200 DAC/HP amp to arrive and I have a question about stacking. For those who do, is there any interference or reasons not to do this? Does the proximity result in noise, hum or interfere with the Wifi signal on the Pro?

I'm probably over-thinking this but that's what I do

Thanks for any help on this topic.

NVM. Was able to relocate a Roku box and Wiim Pro so no longer need to stack.

Another thing that I like about the Wiim app is you don't need line-of-sight, like IR. That made relocation a non-issue. And, wifi signal is still excellent.

I have, bottom up, a dac, a HP amp and then the pro.
The pro is sitting on a Duplo block, more 'cos the HP gets quite warm than for any proximity issues!

In another setup I had a mini sitting directly on top of a dac/hp unit, didn't have any wifi or noise issues.
'Had', 'cos it's been replaced with a pro.

Thank you. That's great to hear in case I want to reconfigure my area.

Man, I really enjoy the Pro.

Maybe not as high as a duplo brick, but my Pro looks better with a set of these feet…

You just HAD to link those, didn't you?

I must have them

Only $8 in the US.

For small items like the WiiM I use since a long while such antivibration mats for washing machines or so.
Easy to cut and in my eyes it looks better than feet under such tiny items. Of course a case of personal taste!
To avoid leaving traces on a surface a simple piece of paper in the fitting size will help.
This 60 x 60 cms will last long

Anyway you can stack at your like with no probs. One small thing, i put in the upper position the warmest unit

Just got my DAC/HP amp. This is a small shoe bench I repurposed as my equipment rack for a spare bedroom. You can barely see the Wiim under the AVR but it is not complaining about being evicted from its previous home.

Now comes the fun part.

If it wasn't for the little glowing dot I'd never have found it!

That's funny, I actually put a set of those on my dac. But, it weighs in at 8kg, so stacking it on a wiim pro probably not the best idea

I can't find it now but somewhere I have a photo of my Living Room audio "stack".
