What is a “WHA device”?

I'd prefer an HDMI output so that ripped files of multichannel Blu-ray Audio, DVD-A and SACD discs can be played from an attached USB hard drive. As mentioned like the Eversolo DMP-A6.

OK... a smiley face would have helped me a bit on that one. I'll edit my post to remove my remarks on your post.

I've been on AVS, the Steve Hoffman and a few other audio forums for many years. So yes I've been on internet forums for years. I'm well aware of how many people can't resist to post smart a$$ remarks. That doesn't mean one can't respond to those posts and call out that person for it.

I have two Eversolo DMP-A6 streamers in two different systems. They do in fact play DSF files of ripped SACDs without conversion to PCM. That's a good question on whether playing DSD/DSF files without conversion to PCM is a WiiM hardware limitation. My first streamer was a BluseSound Node and...

Great suggestion to rip the SACDs. I have a 2TB USB hard drive connected to my Ultra to play DSF files of ripped SACDs. I'd prefer that the DSF files were not converted to PCM but that's fine for now. Hopefully WiiM will make changes in the future so DSD/DSF files can be played without...

Really? Why the smart a$$ remark on a legitimate request for a future upgrade? DSD is not a dead format like Betamax. I also have hundreds of DSF files of ripped SACDs. It would be great if WiiM streamers especially the Ultra could play DSD/DSF files without conversion to PCM. But for now I'm...

Having an HDMI output would enable one to play multichannel Blu-ray Audio, DVD-A and SACD files from an attached USB hard drive. I have an Eversolo DMP-A6 which has an HDMI output. I have the HDMI output connected to an Emotiva XMC-1 prepro. It's great to be able to play all my ripped...

I would also like WiiM to make a streamer similar to the Eversolo T8 possibly with an HDMI output like the DMP-A6. Although I doubt it will happen which is fine with me. I have a WiiM Mini, Pro and Ultra as well as two DMP-A6s. I'm glad that there are two companies like WiiM and Eversolo out...

Not really as Lenbrook the parent company of BlueSound is still pushing MQA. That's all I needed to know about BlueSound. The other fact is BS streamers are far more expensive that WiiM streamers.

The point of having an HDMI output is to be able to play multichannel files (Blu-ray, DVD-A and SACD) from a hard drive connected to the WiiM. One would connect the HDMI output of the WiiM to an HDMI input of the AVR. Connecting a USB hard drive to an AVR means one has to use whatever app (if...

Having an HDMI output so multichannel files can be played would be an excellent feature. I have an Eversolo DMP-A6 and the HDMI output is great for playing all my multichannel Blu-ray, DVD-A and SACD rips. Not sure about the need for an HDMI input though. Having an additional USB-A port would...

Just ordered the Lightening to USB-3 camera adapter from the Apple Store on Amazon. It was $29 which is a $10 discount over buying one direct from the Apple Store. Sometimes trying to go the “cheap” route is just not worth the effort.

Well I've realized that my iPhone 13 will not power the UMIK-1 unless I use the Apple Lightening to USB camera adapter linked below that was also posted earlier in the thread. The USB-A female to USB-A female adapters work fine when plugged into my Windows 10 laptop but the iPhone 13 will not...

Yes this would work but I’m being cheap. In the end I might end up spending the money.
