    Test WIIM pro+ with different power supplies

    I just discovered a new device, and there are many, a capacitor filter for DC voltage. I bought this unit on AliExpress, "5V-25V 8A Suitable for Switching Power Supply and Linear Power Supply Sound Card DAC Raspberry Pi Amplifier". Just go to AliExpress, copy and paste, and it will take you to...

    Sub idea for the Wiim Ultra

    REL TZero x 2. Look for them on the used market to save a few hundred $. Don’t let the small size fool you.

    Loving the Ultra!

    I installed the Roon upgrade and have the Ultra running it with the Roon Nucleus One, just incredible what this little $329 streamer is doing. It is darn close to matching my Volumio Rivo network bridge streamer. The Rivo still sounds a bit better, but not enough to send the Ultra back, it is...

    Roon Certified! And working!

    All I can say is WOW! I installed the Roon update a couple of hours ago. I have the Roon Nucleus One and the Ultra was already in the Roon ecosystem, and everything is working just fine. What an overall boost to sound quality. It is around 85 -90% of equaling my Volumio Rivo network bridge...

    I WANT a Network Bridge STREAMER!

    Not really, measurements only tell a tiny bit of the story. Go over to ASR and read the comments over there, I am tame in comparison. But at least I take the time to purchase the gear and actually listen to it.

    Loving the Ultra!

    The Ultra is probably the best bang for the buck in audio gear right now, just waiting for the Roon certification... Very happy with mine!

    I WANT a Network Bridge STREAMER!

    You guys and your silly measurements, grow up. This is audio gear, not some sensor on a nuclear sub. Some of my most favorite audio gear would never pass the smell test over at ASR, and hasn't, yet you guys bash it. You guys run around like a cult, I have heard some of that gear that everyone...

    I WANT a Network Bridge STREAMER!

    I'm listening to my Ultra right now, it is sitting atop the Rivo. It is a fine streamer, nothing wrong with it, and I never said there was. But, I want more, and I believe WiiM can deliver. I think we can all agree, WiiM is the Gold Standard in operating software, and the reason the Ultra and...

    I WANT a Network Bridge STREAMER!

    It is not even a contest. I have the Ultra here too, it is a better streamer than the Pro+ in regards to sound quality, but still cannot touch the Rivo.

    What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

    I want a network bridge streamer like the Volumio Rivo! And I want it now! C'mon WiiM! I know you can build one, no bells and whistles, just high quality internal parts, power filtering, galvanic isolation and a quality clock with stabilizer. Just like the Rivo... Keep the power supply external...

    I WANT a Network Bridge STREAMER!

    Dear WiiM development team, how about a stand alone WiiM network bridge streamer? Say like the Volumio Rivo streamer? 1. No internal DAC 2. High quality internal power supply filtering boards, shielded and separate from the streamer board, with an external 5v power supply. 3. Galvanic...

    Change your power supply

    That I have not a clue. That is why I tend to not take measurements that seriously when it comes to audio gear. I have had a few pieces of gear that have been trashed by the measurement crowd, and they sound fine or better to my ear then pieces that the same folks say are the greatest, best...

    Hans YouTube review from Friday

    My buddy had the EverSolo unit, the first one. He sold it after purchasing the WiiM Pro +. He put a good power supply on the WiiM and has not looked back. He is using the GD Audio R8 DAC/Preamp, PS Audio DAC/Preamp and a variety of amplifiers, Fosi ZA3 Mono Blocks, (He loves these stupid little...

    My recommendations for using a WiiM Pro

    The LHY and Jay's audio are the same units. At least the lone Jay unit I have, internally it is identical to my LHY units.

    Change your power supply

    The network switch deal is easy, a simple google search in regards to electrical noise over networks, it is a very real thing. The more resolving your gear, the more improvements you could potentially experience. That is why Netgear developed this particular switch, for troublesome networks with...
