If Wiim doesn't up the chromecast quality on the ultra in the next few updates I'll go back to using my Pro.Yeah, sorry that’s currently a restriction with Chromecast (or CastLite) only on the Ultra - should’ve mentioned that…

When your product name is ultra, it should have the best software and hardware. The rest of wiim product that has chromecast has no issue like this.If Wiim doesn't up the chromecast quality on the ultra in the next few updates I'll go back to using my Pro.
I have never, ever heard a digital system that sounds better than using native sampling frequency .Hi,
Could someone please explain this to me? If I use fixed resolution and set it it 192 kHz everything will be upsampled right? Are there any advantages or disadvantages using this?
That's a very special point of view not necessarily shared by the "mainstream". Upsampling allows for for softer output filters, which is considered beneficial by some.I have never, ever heard a digital system that sounds better than using native sampling frequency .
You can be fooled though , because every sample rate conversion makes the sound slightly thinner and harder than the original digital file . In an already muddy sounding system, this could maybe be perceived as a false improvement .
I dont care about the ” mainstream” . I know some believe it sounds better with upsampling but as a amateur soundtechnician, I can tell you that recorded material always sound better with the native sampling frequency .That's a very special point of view not necessarily shared by the "mainstream". Upsampling allows for for softer output filters, which is considered beneficial by some.
For example oversampling in conjunction with huge multitap FIR filters, used in case of NOS DACs.
You could tell me a lot. But why should I care? Shouldn't we all just trust our ears?I know some believe it sounds better with upsampling but as a amateur soundtechnician, I can tell you that recorded material always sound better with the native sampling frequency .
I can hear the SRC artefacts in Yamaha wxc50 ( preamp mode ) and when using Logic Pro X and audacity.Probably all delta-sigma DACs oversample the stream internally.
Regarding resampling, all good ASRC algorithms keep resampling artifacts below the audibility level.

I still remember your impressions about the width of stereo image for a monaural source material. Do not trust your ears too much.You have to use loudspeakers to hear this, because it affects the perceived stereoimage also somewhat.
But I DID manage to pick the right power supply, didnt I ?I still remember your impressions about the width of stereo image for a monaural source material. Do not trust your ears too much.
You could set the max to 16 / 44.1I have a SMSL DO100 Pro DAC connected to Wiim Ultra via coax and when I turn max resolution to 24bit 196hz I hear pops and clicks when playing from sources with different resolutions. I feel fixed resolution would help here. Would love Wiim to add it to Ultra via a software update.
Indeed in fact he can’t hear beyond cd it’s looks good on display 96khz,You could set the max to 16 / 44.1![]()
I suppose it comes down to how much content you are streaming at 24/192, and if when you set the max output to say 24/96, you can tell the difference between the versions presented by the streaming services. For me it's only a few bits of Jazz and classical that hit 24/192 and as I listen mostly to Electronic music such a restriction on ourput would not have that much of an impact logically.I have a SMSL DO100 Pro DAC connected to Wiim Ultra via coax and when I turn max resolution to 24bit 196hz I hear pops and clicks when playing from sources with different resolutions
You can try with delay over the coax in absence of the fixed resolution.I have a SMSL DO100 Pro DAC connected to Wiim Ultra via coax and when I turn max resolution to 24bit 196hz I hear pops and clicks when playing from sources with different resolutions.
