Maybe not just in your head, It should sound better than Airplay, airplay has limitations (16-bit/44.1kHz) vs RAAT https://help.roonlabs.com/portal/en/kb/articles/roon-ready#Overview,,, up to 32-bit/768khz PCM playback if your devices support that (and your source files, streaming service).Updated here and it's working great.
Maybe it's all in my head but it sounds better than airplay (and groups nicely with my already roon ready B&W formation Flexes in the other room)
For me it's completely about the GUI - and that it lets me run multiple streams at the same time from a single Tidal account. I've got multiple streaming services, a local library etc but not having to worry about any of that / interrupting playback somewhere else in the house wins it for me.Maybe not just in your head, It should sound better than Airplay, airplay has limitations (16-bit/44.1kHz) vs RAAT https://help.roonlabs.com/portal/en/kb/articles/roon-ready#Overview,,, up to 32-bit/768khz PCM playback if your devices support that (and your source files, streaming service).
Honestly, for me it's more the GUI, Roon is fun to browse and integrates streaming and home collections really well. I wish they update the version I have as part of my Elac discovery server, but oh well.
You either had to sign up for the beta a few days back or wait for a week or so till its released to everyone‘s Pro.I have Roon but it’s not working. What steps do I need to take to have it on WiiM!? I have the Roon ready app but it keeps trying search for the core. Isn‘t WiiM Pro the Core. I had it on my laptop.
So the core would not be WiiM pro? I did sign up for the beta version.You either had to sign up for the beta a few days back or wait for a week or so till its released to everyone‘s Pro.
Also, from my understanding of Roon, the Core is the server where the main Roon database resides, not the device music is played on.
No. From the Roon website: “The Roon Core is the brain of your system. It manages your music files, streaming services, and your audio devices. The simplest, most powerful Core is a Nucleus. You can also download and install the Roon Core for free on Mac, Windows, Linux, select QNAP and Synology NAS devices, and Intel NUC running ROCK.”So the core would not be WiiM pro? I did sign up for the beta version.
So o have my laptop up and running with Roon. How do I connect the WiiM Pro to get it to play Roon from this point. I’m confused.No. From the Roon website: “The Roon Core is the brain of your system.

The WiiM Pro is, as I understand the terminology, a Roon endpoint I.e. the device that plays your music.
Roon will see the WIIM as a Roon endpoint in your network. You can tell it to play to the endpoint.So o have my laptop up and running with Roon. How do I connect the WiiM Pro to get it to play Roon from this point. I’m confused.
Yes but you may have to first go into setting, audio, and enable the endpoint, then it will show up. If not enabled, I don't think it will show upRoon will see the WIIM as a Roon endpoint in your network. You can tell it to play to the endpoint.
Haha, thanks I just added that to my post as well
So, WiiM pro to my amp via output cables. Then WiiM Pro to DAC via SPDIF or just WiiM Pro output via cables to amp then DAC to laptop and enable the WiiM Pro on my Laptop?but you may have to first go into setting, audio, and enable the endpoint, then it will show up. If not enabled, I don't think it will show up
if you are using Roon on a laptop as core, and you want to play out to Wiim as an endpoint, then its Wiim>(via Spdif)DAC>amp. or WIIM>amp (via analog outSo, WiiM pro to my amp via output cables.
