    Listening impressions with the WiiM Ultra compared to the WiiM pro+ and compared to other streamers

    The only limitation of the Pro is it has a run-of-the-mill DAC. If you like the WiiM software, perhaps the easiest fix for you is a better DAC. Plenty of DACs available for a reasonable price which you can run from the coax or optical out of the Pro. Just order one from Amazon, try it out...

    Tech Tuesday: Audio Codecs Demystified 🔊

    Just a general observation to add to the excellent commentary above (which I trimmed significantly to avoid reposting what others can read for themselves) -- once you have your stereo system set up to your liking, the biggest factor in sound quality isn't the technical details of the digital...

    Listening impressions with the WiiM Ultra compared to the WiiM pro+ and compared to other streamers

    I have both (and also a Pro+ and Mini) and don't hear any audible difference between them, though the Ultra has a technically better DAC. I'd say which you choose depends more on what features you want. The Ultra costs more but has a screen, phono input, sub out and other things the Pro...

I picked up a pair of HD569 wired closed back headphones for $70, and the pair I got was perfect. They are $180 on Amazon right now. Only drawback is you may...

    What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

    I have the Dayton mike (bought a year ago for $40 on Amazon in the US) and downloaded the calibration file. It was within +/- 1 dB from bass through about 10Khz so I wasn't worried about trying adjust my readings any further using the file. You're going to get far more variation than that from...

    What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

    The solution for my wife is WiiM's voice remote with an Amazon subscription. She simply tells it to play [Artist or Album] and it does.

    What newly released music in 2025 can you recommend?

    Another amazing voice I've recently stumbled across is Presley Haile. She's been around a couple of years but her 2025 album is "Off To Find A Sunny Day". Check out the " Someday Soon" track.

    Very Weird!

    Maybe a leftover ghost from Tidal's MQA days.... ;)
