Higher model of WiiM pro

[hkonoki]

Do you have a plan to sell higher class of WiiM pro which has stronger power supply and better clock? I just would like to have network player function.(no amplifier, no DAC)

If the Pro feeds a competent dac then its optical out should be sufficient.
i.e. there shouldn't be a need for a stronger power supply, and the dac should be able to eliminate any clocking / jitter issues.

Or at least, my Pro optical into my RME dac sounds marvellous!
I've not heard any improvement using other streamers, nor coax or usb.

I am using Accuphase DP450 as DAC and it sound very well. I saw a lot of online review strengthen power supply is good for WiiM pro. Anyway thank you very much for your comment.

Yes, it's been reported a number of times, for both the Mini and Pro, that the power supply adapter itself needs to be of reasonable quality / provide the required amount of power.
As I see it, that's not really an issue with the Pro, but with the usb adapter used to power it.

I'd hope the dp450 sounds good!
Enjoy.

I guess some of those reviews are lauding the use of some linear power supply or other. Using something half decent like an Apple phone charger or a Raspberry Pi power supply is more than sufficient, especially when you're using the Pro as a transport and have it connected to a competent DAC

I am using anker battery charger which has stronger power than coming with WiiM pro. Thank you for your comment.

I was thinking a usb out on the Pro or Pro Plus so that way rather than coax out to an external dac, if usb I could use the dacs clock .. I have a Cyan2 which has I understand great usb implementation and a good clock likely better than the WPP … I currently set up for bit perfect output from the PP

Acquire an Ultra and live your dream!

The Ultra is an option albeit considerably more and with many things I wouldn’t make use of and a built in switching power supply, and much to my surprise I’ve found adding an LPS to the PP has made an audible positive impact … I only use the PP as a streaming transport and that’s how I’d use an Ultra
