    Any sound advantage when passing signal through additional tube preamp?

    I have seen people passing signal from Wiim streamers through additional analog tube preamps (such as AIYIMA T1 or T2 or FOSI P3) before going into integrated amp. Is there any audible improvement in audio as a result? In my opinion the more processing (3 preamps in a row in this case) can only...

    3.5 outputs?

    I am setting up my WiiM ultra. I have two speakers to which I want to connect via 3.5mm to RCA ports on WiiM. I thought there would a pair of output ports but there is only one. The other is labelled in. How do I connect two speakers? I figure best bet is a Y spitter. If need be I could do one...

    Replacing a Wiim Pro with Wiim Pro Plus

    I just bought a Wiim Pro Plus to replace my Wiim Pro. What's a good way to do this without having to write down and re-enter all of the settings from the old device, which I plan to reset to factory defaults so that I can gift it or sell it? Is there a way to export/save settings somewhere and...

    Selecting a Media Server

    It was simple to host music on my Synology NAS and pull them up, but I just had to have DSD playback. So I need a media server. I use PLEX for videos, I have a pile 4 x 4 feet of blurays. So I don't want to muck up my PLEX video system with a ton of audio media. I see a few servers mentioned...

    Newbie Questions about WiiM with multiple audio endpoints and Home Assistant/LMS

    I’m trying to wrap my head around all the configuration options and possibilities with the WiiM ecosystem. In particular, I’m not completely certain I understand what can be distributed via multi-room with WiiM devices (e.g. a WiiM Pro and a couple of Minis). I’d appreciate if someone could...

    I updated the firmware as soon as I opened the box, a few days ago. My goal is to connect a DVD player to play CDs and an Apple TV to the HDMI port on the Wiim Amp (not Pro). I don't have an ATV yet, but the DVD player isn't working. I have a cheap SPDIF extractor and I can siphon the audio into...

    Got my Ultra yesterday and have installed it in my primary system. It's replaced an Innuos ZenMini Mk3 which now sits on my secondary system (albeit only really acting as a CD ripper and music library as the secondary system is based around a Naim Uniti Atom). Amplification is via a Naim NAIT 50...
