Thank you.

It seems to me that it makes me listen to it at 16bit as it is writtenThis is because the coaxial and optical outputs are digital, where terms like bit depth and sample rate mean something. The RCA/line-out is analog, and terms like bit depth and sample rate mean nothing.
The WiiM's DAC will accept up to a 24/192 digital stream from Qobuz and convert it to analog for output via the RCA line connection.
As above, this is not a sensible question to ask of an analog RCA output.
You've already asked this question and have been advised that talk of bit depth and sample rate have no meaning when talking about the RCA line out from your WiiM device - those terms are used to describe digital streams which the line-out/RCA stream is not.good morning, I connected the amplifier to the wiim pro plus via RCA cable from the wiim line output to the Roksan K3 (RCA), I use the internal DAC of the wiim. At how many bits and khz do I listen to the high definition music of the Quobuz?
As soon the conversion digital to analog take place, the concept of bit depth, sampling rate and anything related stops to make sense.It seems to me that it makes me listen to it at 16bit as it is written
In the wiim app playback screen, quobuz does NOT show bits and depth.You've asked this question before and have been told that talking about bit depth and sample rate is meaningless when talking about the RCA line out of your WiiM device - these terms are used to describe digital streams, while line out/RCA stream is not.
You might be wondering why Qobuz shows bit depth and sample rate in the Now Playing screen of the WiiM app - it's because it shows the properties of the source track, not what is being sent via the line out/RCA connection. If it always shows 16 bits, then on the Qobuz page in the WiiM app, choose the three-bar menu in the top left corner, then settings/streaming and set it to HiRes - 24 bit/up to 192 kHz so that Qobuz sends higher resolution tracks to your WiiM device.
1. Please post in EnglishIn the wiim app playback screen, quobuz does NOT show bits and depth.
There are no 3 bars in the top left corner.
It is NOT possible to set to 24bit/up to 192khz in RCA connection, (you can only set it for coaxial or optical connection)
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT???
The analog rca connection has no bit at all, so you can't set anything for it.In the wiim app playback screen, quobuz does NOT show bits and depth.

Those digital controls are only for pcm BEFORE it is processed to produce analog signal.
If you're using chromecast, and if I remind well, the sampling rate and bit depth, are no more shown, due to inconsistencies of data given by chromecast. Maybe in the future they will come back.
My daughter-in-law shouts "lettore della mente" from downstairsHe hasn't mentioned ChromeCast but that would explain the lack of resolution info. What's Italian for mind reader?![]()
Just to add...
I'm not at home and don't remind/know if, when using chromecast, the WiiM 's digital output settings are still effective or Qobuz anyway sends its 96KHz capped stream to WiiM, regardless those settings.
In any case, to be sure that Qobuz song are played as they have to be, left any setting to maximum and enable fixed volume.
Yes, as I’ve tried to explainAlso, if you want to reach 192khz when available and read the sampling values, play from WiiM app itself, logging in Qobuz and setting it to maximum quality or change to Tidal...
Simply i don't know if chromecast could involve a different process and when analog output are used, it could still manage the files without capping at resolutions set in digital output settings , before pcm is converted.Not sure what you precisely mean.
I wouldn’t think so - Qobuz’s reason for capping at 24/96 was that they thought the protocol was unreliable and error prone at resolutions greater than that, plus they wouldn’t know if the endpoint was using its digital or analog outputs.Simply i don't know if chromecast could involve a different process and when analog output are used, it could still manage the files without capping at resolutions set in digital output settings , before pcm is converted.
Since I'm on vacation and anyway have a mini at the moment, I don't even remember if coax and toslink have separate maximum settings. It might also make sense that those limits don't affect the path to the internal dac. It definitely depends on what they decided at WiiM.I wouldn’t think so - Qobuz’s reason for capping at 24/96 was that they thought the protocol was unreliable and error prone at resolutions greater than that, plus they wouldn’t know if the endpoint was using its digital or analog outputs.
