    Tidal Connect connection dropping

    As I already wrote somewhere, I get this same problem with Bluos and WiiM, playing continues and whilst Bluos and WiiM apps continue to show the correct song and keep control, Tidal app after a while doesn't update the screen, unless it's forced termination and restart. This behavior started...

    WiiM Pro Plus — Going DAC-less

    Haven't you thought of a very simple resistive divider? The signal at that point is at line level, therefore quite robust. Even a single resistor in series is enough, soldered onto the plug, with a value to be evaluated according to the input resistance of the WiiM. Or there are very trivial...

    Wiim pro Plus Tidal Connect Android 14, lose control.

    I tried normal and beta Tidal, the problem happens with both... Anyway, it seems related to Tidal connect use only. Android 14 after its appearance gave some problems with Bluos and Tidal connect. Both support services claimed that the others were guilty. Finally, a Bluos update solved. It was a...

    Wiim pro Plus Tidal Connect Android 14, lose control.

    This problem started some Tidal update ago. It does the same thing, even with Bluos, so it's definitely a Tidal's problem. Yesterday there was a further Tidal update but still didn't checked if it solved something. I also didn't test with iOS but if I remind well, there wasn't such problem. I'm...

    Spotify Normalization

    Even Tidal normalization doesn't work when tidal connect is in use.

    Playback Bitrate or Recorded Bitrate preferred?

    Since the final playing bitrate, will be always the same for any given sample rate and bit depth (bit x samples x 2), the original bit rate of the file, makes more sense, it will permit reasonably to know if there is lossy compression

    What will wiim send to DAC

    The Android audio device connected to any dac with usb, goes 48KHz for anything up to 48KHz and goes 192khz for anything over 48KHz. My S22 does the same, my old Huawei s10 did the same but up to 96KHz. If you want to use Tidal connected by USB at the right sampling rate of song, you should use...

    Bluetooth has horrific latency.

    If that's any consolation, even Bluetooth of iPad pro has so much latency, that makes impossible playing guitar with any modeling app. Any string pick arrive at least half a second late. It's a common behavior of most Bluetooth systems. With the removal of headphones jack, they made me...

    Wiim Mini and External DAC Vs Pro Plus

    At the moment, the WiiM mini toslink connected to a dac, sounds as well as the pro. Limitations are just from the versatility point of view but in the near future who knows if some good features will be missing due to processing power?

    Tidal showing 24bit 96khz and higher but DAC always shows 16bit 44.1khz

    Maybe are you using the mini from ipad through Airplay2? This could explain the 44.1KHz 16bit. You should choice directly WiiM mini, not with Airplay2

    Tidal showing 24bit 96khz and higher but DAC always shows 16bit 44.1khz

    What resolution does Tidal and WiiM apps saying? Did you set correctly Tidal audio stream preferences?

    Hum through speakers when Mini is on

    Maybe this could help, if I power my iPhone doing guitar modeling, connected to a powered speaker, if I use an Huawei power supply, I get some hum noise, especially when string are not touched. If I use the original iPhone power supply, no hum at all... You could try another power or change the...

    Optical in from CD player or RCA direct to amp?

    There are standardized voltage levels vs dB(x), for professional and consumers both but in the years of cd players, such 2Vrms for 0 dBu has emerged as standard de facto. That's the reason why all those tested equipment show the same line level (even WiiM let choice for 2Vrms). This means that...

    Optical in from CD player or RCA direct to amp?

    Yes, it should be. If you look at ASR test for example, near all dac's, even those of mine (one with volume, the other fixed), at 1Khz 0dB, generally shows around 2Vrms unbalanced output.
