Doing an AI search one of the chatbots had a nice summary for WiiM bit-perfect settings: _______________________________________ WiiM Ultra Bit-Perfect Settings To achieve bit-perfect playback on the WiiM Ultra, you need to adjust several settings in the WiiM Home app. Here’s a detailed...

Let's ask @RyanWithWiiM the favor to look into this and suggest to the development team adding editing/sorting/moving for the Open Network Stream app.

It could be and that was under test when I spent weeks escalating the issue with them (this was 6 months ago). In my case it was not a bandwidth/quality-of-service problem. I did not have a sample rate change midstream. I discovered the problem when my DAC displayed the wrong sampling rate for...

Filed a ticket. Will report what I hear.

Thank you! And on topic… Apple Music has tech issues and I do not see bit perfect with that, instead transcoding is often taking place. Still a great music collection with great curation. Qobuz is technically very good and now with Connect made a great leap forward.

And you are right! My setup had a glitch favoring one pipeline over the other. Once resolved the issue, the Ultra volume matched to Mac/Audirvana, they sound the same playing Qobuz. I apologize for raising a doubt, unaware of a system issue. I should have checked more carefully. 😭

OK it has been measured as bit perfect. So it is in fact bit perfect.

You must realize some of us have been around here a long while. I am very familiar with onlyoneme’s measurements (good man and good work). I know of him perhaps more so than most 😊. Sure the stream is bit perfect. But there’s more to it re SQ. Let’s agree to stop here, OK! If you are interested...

Yeah true, but lacking that some of us have long known what settings to set or defeat to achieve WiiM ‘bit perfect’. My Pro and Ultra have those settings correctly applied since day one.

Here they come and you are the first! Good for you!

They may be ‘bit perfect’ but I am pretty sure the stream passes through mixers and some processing happens. Processing adds noise. Anyone can make a test. Take a Qobuz track played through the same external DAC. 1 - play it from Ultra via the WHA Qobuz app 2 - Play it via the Qobuz app on an...

Qobuz maintains the advertised sampling rate. Apple Music may issue a HiRes album (say 96kHz) - some tracks are at the correct sampling rate and others are transcoded to 44.1kHz. I spent weeks with 4 levels of support on this; they know it but are not fixing it. I have been researching bit...

I gave up on Apple Music. They transcode many recordings. They know it as I spoke to high levels in the Apple Music department.
