Sorry! I was all over the map! Testing out devices on multiple sources and multiple routes to achieve end results.

Yeah Amazon music you can’t change the source. But if you host your own music file or going through bubbleupnp app (which in that case would be Qobuz) then you can use chromecast to 24/192 as you wish.

That might as well be it 😥

iOS, usb dongle dac on to go iOS, usb wired to desktop dac at my computer Or… stream through wireless to my stereo through wiim optical out to a dac

Btw bridging though bubbleupnp, chromecast can support up to 16/192. Otherwise it will go as far as 16/92 max normally.

I use wiim. I am just saying I aware of UHD settings! That’s normally first thing I check

It’s still UHD. Just songs over 96khz but sometimes alexacast decided to go down to 24/96 only. I haven’t found the exact pattern yet!

Yep! I checked everywhere! Keep in mind when I use my iOS device to listen to Amazon music directly I use an usb dac! So yes! I am sure I turned on anything UHD as possible. And no! I didn’t switch between ultra hd vs atoms. As atoms only limited to cd quality

That’s first thing I checked! The weird thing is downsampling. Not sure due to alexacast or amazon music automatically selected lower quality of source for me when I playback through alecacast vs straight from wiim?

I use Alexa cast but for some reason it downsamples…. I haven’t fully tested all scenarios yet! Yes! Its true native app normally has better features! This is like the argument of if you would like multiple remote controls for your devices at home or just use one universal one. For the...

I guessed upnp is a wild Wild West. Even manufacturers who are supporting it has partially their own customizations. Although bubbleupnp does solve many problems but it really lacks of iOS app support. Almost no controller app works 100% out of box now. Android has native bubbleupnp app...

For wiim’s case I only used upnp feature to compare to others. I am writing software on music services that’s why I tested volumio, LMS and chromecast as well.

I meant upnp from a DLNA server

Pro has advantage of using as roon endpoint to replace LMS. But if you don’t want to pay for roon, then LMS is your next best choice if you want to stream your own content at home since wiim (none pro) does not have usb to plugin the hard drive. So naturally BLNA UPNP is the only option here...

Maybe so. But keep in mind my tests were only using wiim’s DLNA server as music source. No other wiim features were involved.
