Palmer orbit cardioid design actually works >200hz therefore the most problematic frequency area in the room is not addressed. It will help with reflections of course, especially in a lively room from midrange and up. However active speakers are not so durable/reliable designs as passives if...

wiim ultra coax out to Roksan attessa non streaming integrated to Super Linton with their stands. Done.

omG 🥲

Sure

Is the wifi module super isolated from the rest of the circuits? In case it is not, which in most cases is not, then having wifi on degrades the sound.

A high quality , very good sounding streaming dac and transport ( better than the competition) , reliable build quality that will last for many years, with great usability and support . I will leave it as general as that . The price point I am ready to pay if it is worth it is up to 600 euro .

I don’t think it makes sense to say specifically upgrade power supply , clocks , analogue stages with this and that etc … . We don’t know more than Wiim . Let them do their research and evaluation . We can only judge the usability of features and perceived sound quality

I consider audiophile anyone who spends in total for an audio system >1k$

FYI Wiim ultra is bought by audiophiles and not by mass market consumers which buy Bluetooth all in one speakers . Same with Cambridge audio mxn 10 and Bluesound node nano and same with the new ifi zen stream 3 which are all around the price of Wiim ultra … ASR type of audience among budget...

I believe it is better to release more than one product with a feature set targeting different audiences for each one and not try to cram everything into one device. That way the budget is focussed on quality rather than spreading into many unused features to please everybody.

Most people would prefer something that will sound really good without eq, just straight out of the box

Nobody is asking designers to be mind readers. They are expected, however, to be talented enough to design a better sounding product within a specific budget. Designing solely to satisfy a few measurement graphs is insufficient as they need to be mindful of all factors that affect what we...
