Your amp's handling of DIGITAL input (e.g., S/PDIF over Optical TOSLINK or the RCA Coax) is going to be very different from input coming in over the ANALOG lines (RCA line-level). In the digital case, your amp will be engineered to take care of the gain matching between its internal DAC stage...

Edit: to @cooky560's point, there is no need for 4V from a sound quality improvement perspective for home audio. My note below is about why 4V would even be mentioned in the context balanced outputs. Something called line level standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_level Do not plug...

Even though I am one of the people requesting a WiiM Pro Plus Balanced, your experience is exactly what I would expect. And that everyone else (@dangermouse, @Smartplug, etc.) is saying as well. In a home audio setting with reasonable cable management, it is *extremely unlikely* that you will be...

True; the Touch was introduced in 2010, and a few other different form factor devices (Duet, Boom, Radio) as well. But at the same time, the culture had shifted from innovating network streaming devices towards a mass-market growth market. In one sense, Logitech was too early for the market and...

IMHO, your IMHO is not wrong at all. Unbalanced is perfectly fine for home audio. I've nowhere suggested pulling WiiM Pro Plus. But, some of us have semi-pro or even full-pro audio devices for a variety of reasons. So don't assume everyone is just sending their WiiM to a Sonus speaker or their...

I think they meant the opposite of what you mention. Their desire (as is mine) is that the WiiM Ultra would have balanced output because they can use it in their setup. With the current Ultra*, they will still be sending unbalanced (RCA) output from the WiiM into their balanced (XLR/TRS)...

For me, absolutely not. This would feed an analog audio chain that first routes into a professional-grade* stereo mixer (Ashly LX-308B), from which the mains out is to a professional grade converter (RME ADI-2 Pro), after which the audio is sent balanced to professional-grade active speakers...

If, by WiiM Micro, you mean a very simple network streamer (with ethernet) that only has S/PDIF (Optical, Coax) outputs without a DAC for analog output, I will buy several of them for use around the house.

Personally, I'd simply love to have a WiiM Pro Plus Balanced.

Some of us had been waiting since 2006 for a (worthy) vendor to final emerge after the dumpster fire of Logitech acquiring Slim Devices... if we could hold on for nearly two decades, I'm sure you can wait out another quarter :cool: (and if not, there are indeed other vendors out there to...

From a human factors perspective, the Coax RCA should have an orange color ring to indicate it is a digital out channel. Right now, the Subwoofer and Coax RCAs sit right next to each other—both with the same color—but have extremely different line out voltage and signal properties. Even more so...

This is of interest to me! I came to this thread for (almost) the exact same situation... I wanted to see if I could shift from my Squeezebox over the the WiiM Pro as my LMS target, but I need analog and digital to both be active for my home/office audio chain. The only difference... my active...

An option to provide static IP or FQDN if the WiiM Mini / Pro device is not found by auto discovery. Would be huge help for those who put their home media devices on separate VLAN from one for computers and smartphones.

+1 just registered to add a vote for WiiM as a native LMS endpoint. No doubt, I'll keep my Squeezebox v3 Classic sitting right next to the WiiM Pro for nostalgia (just as I still have all of my vinyl records). But I purchase more WiiM devices to distribute throughout the house as soon as...
