I rsally can hear the difference in SQ when playing the same track via Qobuz which is even higher quality ; 24/192

Thx for the advice

Amazon Music doesn’t support anything better than HD (if not just SD) using Chromecast, it’s not a WiiM restriction.

Edit: “At this time Amazon Music HD is not supported on Chromecast.” https://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=3022219031

You should link your WiiM app to Alexa and use Alexacast (the round casting icon next to the device name) in the Amazon Music app to get up to 24/192
