Just a bigger better screen please, readable from a few meters away

Just a bigger better screen please, readable from a few meters away

I suffer from myopia, astigmatism and smartphone presbyopia, so I require a screen of at least 24 inches

It's very standard for both the general public and professionals... there's nothing esoteric about it... it's very inexpensive*... and helps to break ground loops, etc.

Reasonably, you could use just one source or receiver side, but if in doubt, it's better to have two... they had a bad reputation in the 90s because they were poorly made, but now they're very efficient...

You'll see them everywhere... but not in our Wiims yet (and if you don't see one in your DACs or digital source connected to your Wiim..all the more reason to have one in there ;-) )
My comment may seem negative to you... but the fact is that it's mainly Wiim's "oversight"... that's all... I'm pointing it out hoping that Wiim will address it in the future...

( * ex da101c murata...same from pulse etc)

Small black cubes, easy to spot near your digital inputs and outputs... ;-)

Which bits of gear have these standard galvanic isolation transformers that you see everywhere?

Not everywhere then

Excuse me... it's very prevalent, especially for the last 20 years or so... I'm just suggesting you look inside your machines... But if you think we shouldn't encourage Wiim to systematize it... I'll leave it at that.

You only gave one example

Excuse me... but I'm not going to compile interior photos of thousands of machines...

Just name some if they are everywhere, no photos needed

No.... If you want to take my statement as excessive... I invite you to look at the internal photos in the future to see if you don't notice these small transformers on the SPDIF/AES inputs and outputs of the machines you see....
typically PE-6512nl pulse or Murata DA-101c
(It's desirable that there be one anyway...that's all...and there's nothing surprising about it)

And yet it is facinating to see how otherwise perfectly sane poeple jump onto this train.
There must be something in their music …

Have you conducted any tests as Alpha Audio? Did you experiment in a good system like myself?

 

[jfbuk]

Okay, enough of me here.

clearly not
