    Resolving 24/192 not working via SPDIF

    Devices that do not support 192kHz via SPDIF optical are common, least wise their warnings of questionable dependability are. Further, it could also be the optical front end of your DAC that may be gagging on 192kHz. Have you tried troubleshooting with connecting via SPDIF coax, which typically...

    Adding better bluetooth transmission

    I’m subscribed to AM but more often that not I’m streaming from my Jriver library, for which much of it is 96kHz or better. Are saying the WiiM will downsample HDQ to CDQ if I fix the optical output to CDQ?

    Adding better bluetooth transmission

    Check During my i itial setup I had made sure the Bt on all other devices had been disabled. I checked the Bt connection by turning the Bt cans off and watching the transmitter Bt LED turn off. It’s either Bt or Ac, and the Bt LED was lit I believe I had been testing with 44.1kHz CDQ for...

    Adding better bluetooth transmission

    As long as we don’t dump shade on the transmitter (… when it’s probably the transmitteeme …), the Avantree mdl is the “AudiKast 4” Of possible import… I fired up the WiiM tonight expecting coax output, but it was still delivering output to optical. I then remembered I had been troubleshooting...

    Adding better bluetooth transmission

    I setup a Bt transmitter today, and even had it working. However, as soon as I was satisfied, and only wanted to shut down entirely, to again hopefully find that all I need do is run the “out from optical” preset and press play. Ot did not work, and I was not able to get it to work again, in...

    Adding better bluetooth transmission

    Thanks @Wiimer! I tried it out, and without haptic feedback or a beep it was difficult to tell is anything changed, but I did hear a slight click which did enable the optical out. Enabling a single preset should work well, but without any kind of feedback I imagine engaging one of many presets...

    Thanks, but no thanks … another remote is the last thing I want cluttering my bedside table…:rolleyes:

    Adding better bluetooth transmission

    Thanks Mr Ee… That had just occurred to me this morning, wondering if both optical and coax could be made live, or if I wanted to put up with the inconvenience of getting into the WiiM app to switch it over. Can you point me at an example of creating/using a “preset”? Thanks all for the USB...

    Adding better bluetooth transmission

    While considering adding better Bluetooth output to my WiiM Pro, I ran across the setting “enable automatic optical sensing”, and I wonder if this is the best output port while SPDIF coax is connected to my headphone DAC/amp(?). That is, if the external Bt xmitter pairs with TWS will the WiiM...

    Better Bluetooth output codec support…(?)

    When you say “sales are just around the corner”, did you have a specific Bt xmitter in mind? The WiiM’s coax is in use right now. I imagine the Bt xmitter would be connected to optical, and that I’d only need to switch between coax<>opt, or are both SPDIF outs live? The reasonI asked initially...

    Better Bluetooth output codec support…(?)

    I just tried my WiiM Pro’s output Bt connection with my new Sennheiser HDB630 headphones. It worked well but left a bit disappointed. With the better Bt headphones hitting the market I wonder if WiiM is considering upgrading the Bt codec support for outputting better quality Bt to headphones...

    New playback issue using WiiM Pro with Jriver server

    I may have fixed this by deleting some rules associated with players associated with playing audio and video local to the server (i.e., the family room). These players should have been associated with playback on the computer only, but maybe the rule for playing audio only with the “audio”...

    New playback issue using WiiM Pro with Jriver server

    Found it, but “beta testing” was never enabled… I had been using MC33 flawlessly with the WiiM, and while I’ve had a license for MC34 I had been waiting for it to mature, as well as wanting to make major changes until remedying this problem. I’ve gone ahead and installed the most recent...

    New playback issue using WiiM Pro with Jriver server

    I don’t see this option… The WiiM zone shows no activity. If the WiiM zone had been selected for output the list of what was selected to play should’ve shown up. Neither does the selection show up in the WiiM app…

    New playback issue using WiiM Pro with Jriver server

    Case 1… If I select & play via Media Center, on the computer itself, it plays from the library as it should. Case 2… If I instead select and then drag an album into WiiM zone and tell it to play, it will instead switch immediately to MC’s player and play the album as if I chosen select & play...
