The issue is whether you can connect Wiim devices like my PROs at 24/192 with the native Wiim system. I want to play high-resolution files from my computer to my Wiim devices all at high-resolution using the link function which also keeps them in sync. I do not want Chromecast or Google Cast or...

It also says "across Roon Ready and Google Cast endpoints". It does not appear to say anything about high-resolution across all Wiim devices. So, it is not clear how "Universal" that is. Hopefully it includes all Wiim devices, although that is not clear to me. Universal Hi-Res Multi-Room...

Agreed. I think the original discussion was that you cannot do DSPs or volume control on a DSD file or stream. I think that is the case. During it during a D to A conversion is a different thing. Just wanted to clarify.

Does that actually do a digital conversion of the original data to a new stream of digital DSD data or is it part of the D to A process?

I believe volume control can only be done on the analog output of the D to A chip. Volume control cannot be applied to the digital data directly. At least that is what I understand. What chip(s) do you think does volume control on the digital data?

I note that this is an Ultra update but there are not similar updates for other devices like Mini, Pro, Pro Plus, Amp and Amp Pro. The roadmaps for them are still Oct. 2024. I hope this does not mean that only the Ultra will get these new features but that there is simply a delay in updating the...

Actually, peak to peak is just that - twice peak. It was sometimes used in the old days by unscrupulous companies. I know what you are referring to. I am an old college physics professor.

My guess is you are not as old as I am. Back in the day all sorts of deceptive practices were used to report watts. And you still see it today although with class D amps it is less of a problem. You used to see peak to peak watts on less quality equipment. There was a time when 100 watts was...

Thanks for the reference. I still think Wiim should report their power as RMS. It is the standard in the industry. Peak to peak power was reported by some manufacturers for years in order to make it look like their amps were more powerful than they were. So, it is definitely a term that has...

RMW watts have been reported for audio equipment for decades. If the manufacturer does not report it, it is assumed that they are hiding something. That is why I asked.

Is it 100 watts RMS, or peak or peak to peak? I don't seem to be able find that spec. Thanks.

You might want to read under his Inside tab. It talks about some reasons those clicks are there - like the bad block lengths as I said. If his tool does not fix the click problem, he suggests converting to dff and then back to dsf to fix the problem. You might loose some tags in doing that, but...

The is a free program called Deffy that does various conversions of dsf and dff files. One of the options is to "Fix plops or clicks at the end of playback of DSF files (if caused by one of the correctable issues)". You might try that on one of your files. There is also an option to remove gaps...

What is the source of the files? Did they get created using SACD_Extract. If so, the click may be in the files and hard to get rid of. Did you try one of the free downloads to confirm if the problem is only with your files? EDIT: Here is one download that is reliable...

Guys - give it a rest. This disagreement is as old as audio and will not result in any productive discussion. Let's get back to Wiim issues - please.
