I see, so it wouldn't really differ from the existing Qobuz app, except for different, hopefully broader, device support ? The Cast protocol is just inadequate for me due to lack of gapless support primarily. Just can't believe Google designed it without that in mind. Apple did it correctly...

Thanks. That is really poor marketing to use those 2 names . Would have saved me a lot of typing to know that ! Seems like the one you are referring to is about adding E2E encryption, as a substitute for DRM. I'm not seeing how it solves or even intersects with the problem of storing...

The Qobuz app certainly doesn't require it. The streaming device isn't "owned" by anybody. It's simply available if you are on the network, just like a CD player is available if you are physically present inside the home, and are just a guest. You can have 2 phones with 2 separate Qobuz...

I'm no youngster anymore, sadly. I had to Google what Q connect is. https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/magazine/story/2023/06/01/stream-qobuz-directly-to-your-hifi-system/ It's hard to convery how upsetting reading that page was. It starts from invalid assumptions, identifying problems that don't...

The facts remain that the Qobuz app only requires a single login per phone, and can cast to all 12 WiiMs, using the Chromecast protocol. The WiiM app cannot do that. It is a deficiency, IMO. With the WiiM app and multiple devices, you have to login not just for every WiiM device, or for every...

I have 12 WiiM Pro Plus, and am a Qobuz subscriber. In order to listen to it on all 12 individually, I have to login to Qobuz 12 times - once for each WiiM device. To make matters worse, periodically I need to login again. I don't know why. It happens in the native Qobuz Android app as well...

It seems to work on my S22 Ultra smartphone. I haven't tried on the Tab S9 Ultra tablet yet, need to charge it first.

I have 12 WiiM Pro Plus. Whenever there is a firmware update, and I open the WiiM Android app, I'm prompted to install the update. There is no indication of which device is being upgraded. Then, once it's finished, I have to not just close, but forcibly kill the app, and then re-open it. And I...

They advertise 768 kHz sampling rate . They should support it.

Not only that, but the original Chromecast audio only supports 96 kHz - not sure if the protocol supports 192 kHz. Also, there is no provision for gapless playback with Chromecast audio playback (except with Roon, I don't know how they got this to work). Best to use the WiiM app and enjoy 192...

With a whole house audio system it is unfortunately not practical to insert the disc into the player. The player is physically much too far away from the listening position A disc player is also not made to handle multiple zones, either, so you have to be really creative with the distribution...

Thank you for your efforts reproducing this. FYI , my support ticket for this issue is 492512 .

Seems some people got triggered, sigh. I won't pretend that I can hear the difference between an SACD/DSD and 24/192 kHz. And I'm not here to debate DSD/SACD merits vs PCM. However, I do have a sizeable collection of SACDs, started in 1999 when the format came out. For a long time, SACD was the...

Check Check your conversations.

Thanks ! This looks good. I just tried it, and it worked for me on the Tab S9 Ultra also.
