Mr Google says that the DAC in Pro Plus is better than than your Yamaha's and the Pro's DAC is about the same. The plus comes with a remote that the Pro doesn't. I find the remote worthwhile for its presets. Get the Pro Plus. It's not that much more expensive.
I was able to program my Apple TV remote to control the volume of my Naim preamp. If I could do that with this new WiiM remote I would likely get one. Is that possible and if not is it something a future firmware update might provide? That would make this remote a lot more appealing to a lot...
I don't have the amp. I have the Pro (streamer). So a USB hub is useless. But my real point was to remain competitive with Bluesound a rethink on the ProPlus streamer might be in order.
A USB in on the next Pro Plus would get me to upgrade my Pro and be a good answer to the new Bluesound Node Nano. I'd like the ability to hang a SSD drive off it.
It seems a lot of us would like a higher spec, metal cased unit without a screen that had some different options for configuration. I know I would. Along the lines of how a MacBook can be configured. I'd like BNC, AES/EBU, HDMI ARC & I2S inputs / outputs. I prefer AKM chips, others ESS and still...
I wonder why WiiM moved from an AKM to a ESS chip. I'm not getting an Ultra (happy with my Pro into a Naim DAC) but I am happy to see WiiM doing well and introducing new products. Hope Munich is good to them!
Look for a used ifi iPower2, you should be able to find one for $35. If you don't think it makes any improvement flog it on US Audio Mart for what you paid. You'll be out very little and the issue will be settled. But keep in mind that a budget system that is not very revealing won't show any...
I run a WiiM Pro into a Naim nDAC too. I'm very happy with it. I'm using a silver Audioquest coax cable at the moment. I also have an Oyaide silver BNC cable which is also great (I moved it to a better source). Coax is a better connection on the nDAC than Toslink. I played with the Toslink when...
