I’ve not heard that about using ONS for Idagio - did they give you any details on how to do this?

Like Burnside said you can use Chromecast on an Android device. This should give you CD quality (Idagio’s maximum) though I’m pretty sure you don’t get gapless playback. I own an iPad so use Airplay 2 which gives CD quality and gapless playback, and is mostly reliable. Hopefully though Idagio...

Thanks for the replies, good to know Idagio is still on the roadmap. I guess the main advantage of having Idagio integrated into the WHA is taking the streaming load off the iPad. Maybe added reliability as well as I do get occasional glitches with AirPlay.

I’ve just taken up Idagio’s Black Friday offer of six months for around half price as I’ve always liked the service. I’m hoping that it will be integrated into WiiM Home before too long, but in the meantime I’m using AirPlay 2 and have been pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds. Comparing...

I tend to agree with the OP. On my system (WiiM Pro digital out into Naim SuperUniti), with my ears, music stored locally - a mix of high res music downloads and CD rips - is mostly more enjoyable to listen to. I can listen to local music via the WiiM streamer or the built in streamer on the...

Less than 3 months of 2025 to go, is Idagio likely to appear soon? Or Presto?

Many thanks 😊

I just wanted to remove the ? from the post title as suggested by Mr Ee. The more I listen, the more I like Spotify Lossless in direct comparisons with Amazon Music HD.

Can you edit posts? I’ve not found a way.

I’ve been listening to Spotify Lossless with a variety of classical music and comparing it to Amazon Music HD and Apple Music Lossless High Res. To me it sounds perfectly fine and I much prefer using Spotify to both Amazon and Apple Music (which is a pain to try to play high res music on my...

Thanks, this was puzzling me but all working well now

Using the app with Qobuz Connect, I had one slight hiccup when it changed to the next track on a gapless piece of music. I couldn’t repeat this though, so maybe just a glitch.

Thanks for the feedback. I tend to use album booklets as I listen mostly to classical music, so being able to cast directly from the Qobuz app is a real bonus. I’ve just signed up to the Roon 3 months for $10 deal though, so will see how things are at the end of that. Roon plays very nicely...

I spent all yesterday evening steaming high resolution music from the Qobuz app on my iPad Pro via Qobuz Connect to the WiiM Pro. Not a glitch and it sounded excellent. One thing I’m not clear about is the relative pros and cons of using the Qobuz app vs the WiiM app, can anyone help?

Black Friday prices are showing now on Amazon and Peter Tysons - I’ve ordered a Wiim Pro from the latter.
