Would be great to see some pictures of your setup with WiiM Mini and exact audio configuration to give others some ideas and recommendations:cool:.
Office setup is WiiM Pro from Philips CD R/RW Toslink. into Sansui RCA. Turntable into preamp to WiiM mini into Wiim Pro Toslink. Can then stream turntable and CDs from office upstairs, to Sony downstairs through WiiM mini into Sony STR DE825. Making old stuff new again.

Is the screen connected to the DAC via HDMI?
No, it’s driven via HDMI by a small computer, such as a Raspberry Pi or Inovato Quadra. The computer runs an app that gets its info to display from your WiiM via its UPnP interface over WiFi or Ethernet.

Hi @Griff can you describe your setup here with WiiM Mini? Would love to add some details when sharing it on our Instagram account.
Hi, I have moved things around but from memory, WIIM mini going to a Loxjie D10 DAC then to a couple of Schiit Sys, along with other audio sources, then the output of the 'sys' to a Schiit Loki+ and Vali2. Output from there to a Minirig 2.1 system.

Hi @Brava 210
What do you think of Topping E50? I bought it too and when I bought it it cost €260.
I saw that it has now "collapsed" to 190€. Well, after a week it ended up in its box and on a shelf. He had let me down.
The sound, speaking of the various frequencies and voices, was good, but for me it had one major flaw. The Soundstage.
The width may not have been very large, but sufficient.
The depth is a disaster. Absolute lack of depth.
Everything seemed to be stuck in just 1 layer. Much better, for the soundstage. the E30. That I have. The E30 lacked a bit on the high frequencies (cymbals), but otherwise it was fine.
I now own and use the D50s with satisfaction. A whole other planet.
For me the max.

To me via Tidal it sounds very detailed and wide. With MQA it's a bargain
Iv'e just added a better power supply. just to give a bit of helping hand

I find the EQ5 to be really nice so far. It does colour the sound slightly but not in a harsh way, I have found it a positive addition overall, the stand is a Topping stand with extra shelf installed.

I do use a constant voltage raspberry pi4 usb c power supply with it as well. I did see people report power issues, so decided on a dedicated supply

Hi to all
As i told i use Topping D50s and i would not change it for nothing in the world.
Very dynamic, detailed,defined,no sense of iced or electronic sound and….a huge soundstage. As in width as in depth. At the beginning anyway i had some problem. I fed it with classical charger 5 V 2 A. NOT GOOD AT ALL !!
It was always very hot, and the strange is that it was hottest in standby mode rather when it was in use. More i had intermittent audio at 24/192 via SPDIF.
Having read that D50s is very sensitive to jitter i decided to fed it via a linear power supply and i bought the Topping P50.
The miracle happened!! Now is always as cold as ice. Working or not working.
NO MORE intermittent audio. For me ii gained also more detail,more air between instruments, more width and depth in soundstage.
What can i say? Always for me…PERFECT
