What's your setup/configuration look like?

[VladaJ]

As my setup consists of a DAC and pro studio monitor on either side of my desk, I listen to music while on my computer, always. The DAC auto-switches inputs from the PC (Chromebox) and the WiiM Pro.

Given that there are lots of small HDMI displays available on Amazon for as little as $25, I thought I’d try one as a secondary screen for my PC, and just drag a WiiM monitor app over to it.

Hello,
Could you please explain what is the "WiiM monitor app"?
Thank you

You know you can take the plastic film off your Mini, don’t you? I’m sure there’ll be someone out there who will claim it sounds better without it

I think @Brava210 is with me on this one... the film stays on!

 

[Mr Ee]

Just realised I forgot to say what the stack is!
A Mini, of course. $110
A Fiio K11. $240
Shure SHR840A. $200

It creates a deeper soundstage with the plastic film attached and flapping about

For maximum transparency and clarity you obviously have to take it off.

It also adds weight to the music if left on. + & -

Finally took the plunge for a Pro for my desktop system

Can I ask where you got the rack from? Thanks

 

[delage]

Do

Ok, I'm kidding But looks delicious, does it? And a WiiM is missing..I guess the owner has to save some money first..View attachment 3087

Confused. Do you look at it, listen to it, or pilot it?

If this system really would be mine I would reserve at least three times one hour a day to adore it! So I'd look at it, listen to it and most likely fly to one or another HiFi heaven

Hi @delage it's a couple, few, of these https://www.electromod.co.uk/topping-stand I have them around the house for different systems and this one has multiple tiers. I took the top tier from each of the other 3 and added them onto this one. Be careful if going this high to have a good base and low centre of gravity

Also, if put on a Nikola Tesla picture, harmonics and sound stage will widely spread..

Nothing to add except that I really enjoy looking at the myriad of set-ups here. So cool! I should contribute too but I am just a procrastinator prince.

Would be great to see some pictures of your setup with WiiM Mini and exact audio configuration to give others some ideas and recommendations.

Nice pair, SMSL & Wiim Pro

Following a "boomeristic" impulse, I just added this amp, a Nad 3050LE, mainly for Dirac and sub management, D class and depth measure less than 36cm...
I was thinking to keep using WiiM mini, since its software seems better than Bluos.
Just right now, Bluos finally added Tidal connect hi-res support, I will check how functional wiil be.
