Understanding that going without a DAC is not easy, another addition here would be an HDMI out that could carry the album art and possibly the song lyrics. For that model you could eliminate the need for a screen on the device using the same mold for the existing ultra too. Would be good to...

Have had both excellent solid state and tube amps. I'm all about performance. The best solid state amp I had was a SMC McCormack 225 DNA-2 Deluxe, Rev. A with upgraded carbon wiring. It's superb. I'm getting quite a performance bang from the Acrousound, its size is deceiving and I've had quite...

The WiiM Pro sits underneath the horse globe and with the Acrosound mono blocks sounds great producing outstanding clarity and dynamics in a full range system.

Just get BlueJean Cables Cat. 6 ethernet. They are outstanding and they are all tested before they get sent with a test result sheet to you. Category 6 tests out excellent. I have a high end system and run their reasonably priced ethernet cables between Cisco boxes and fiber from a fiber...

Got a fast reply and doing a rollback test. Thanks, folks.

I've been seeing dropouts with the WiiM Pro. This only began with the January OS release. When that happens, restarting the WiiM Pro brings back normal functioning. I hope a new OS release fixes it.

That's exactly what I did. After trying it in my tube amp monoblock system, I was very impressed. It crushed Roon, Bye-bye. It's no contest with Audirvana, and it's completely taken my system to its best performance ever. YMMV. Today, I altered those up time settings from 10 to 10,000. (I'm...

Mine is on 24-7, run by a 5v external power supply. As for WiiM's next stop, I think the path to Room Correction is simply outstanding and must continue with a I²S output being a necessity with any theoretical WiiM Ultra 2 release. Would like to see a design that allows for an external power...

Stopped going there a while maybe years back. Amir’s boys run amok attacking anyone who doesn’t bend the knee and then censor. I fought those tools on a minor issue on an RME firmware upgrade. RME made an appearance saying no sound impact which meant the improvement was solely due to using a...

Appreciate your reply here, Smartplug. I'm going to say some things and hopefully not offend anyone. First, I've tested my WiiM Pro against different scenarios many times. Using a direct Mac Mini running Qobuz or a M1 Macbook Air running Audirvana, Roon or Qobuz via Chromecast and direct. The...

At one time, I had NHT Xd subwoofers running. They generated a lot of bass in the room. More than I'd ever need. 🐴 Contemplated the speaker rating but after removing and replacing the crossovers and replacing all the electrolytics among others, I've convinced myself they can run at 20. From my...

After the bump, I ran the entire three series again today. Last night, I was listening to "Time" by Pink Floyd and it was like nothing I had ever heard before. I have special monoblock tube amps and they are not all that powerful but the output was smooth and better than ever. It just pumped...

So, I did the R & L RC to very good results and also the beta three tests in a row. Then tonight, I noted earlier in this thread about the "Equalize Freq." in Room Correction. First went down from 40 to 28Hz. Wow, that was really nice. Great improvement in the lower end. Then dropped it all...

You are correct. Under the BK-Harman-Flat options which are on the wheel when you launch Room Correction on the top right are a number of options. Multi-measurements (Beta). See EddnNog's photo above from inside the Room Correction wheel link. I turned this on and then ran the Room Correction...
