How to hook up wiim to Denon AVRp

[Metalforever2215]

Hi i was wondering what would thr best way to hook up wiim to my denon s770h avr? Attached is a picture of the back of my avr.

Best thing to do is to try each of aux, coax and optical in and see which you prefer as our rooms, speakers, preferences, ears and brains are all different…

Connect both analog and digital and switch back and forth to see which sound you like better.

You will need to be sure that the input you plug into is assigned in the settings, or you will get no sound.

AVR are not as hot as used to be. On their height of their technology most brand released year by year model by adding more features and power. Now people just buy sound bar.

Any recommendations on coax cables?

Thank you for that. I go to settings then assign coax?

Which input would that be? Sorry im a newb.

Any red and white and make sure you choose the corresponding name on switch or will get no sound. The same on digital.

First, please try connecting the Optical and RCA cables included with the WiiM like this. Optical is digital, RCA is analog.

There’s nothing more easier than that!

Thank you for this breakdown! Then where and what do I assign this in settings so I get sound?

WiiM app device page, your device settings/cog icon, audio output

I'm sure you know how to select the input on your AVR without anybody telling you, there is no other input setting that needs to be done.

Within the WiiM Home app on your smartphone got to the Device tab, tap on the cog/gear icon and select Audio Output. Here you can switch between e.g. the optical output and the line output (RCA).

When using the analogue line output (the WiiM's DAC will be used to convert the digital signals of the Pro or Pro Plus into analogue signals) make sure to also select a matching output voltage. The default is 2 Vrms. This may or may not end up being too loud (or giving you a too small range for volume adjustment).

When using the digital optical output (the AVR's DAC will be used to convert digital to analogue) you can change the output resolution. 24 bit 96 kHz should work with most optical inputs. 192 kHz might or might not work with your AVR, but this is unlikely to make much of a difference.

Well, your response was much more fullsome

Thank you for this. This technical stuff is new for me

You assign on the Denon in the settings

 

[BucYouUp68]

RCA if you are using the WiiM Dac, Digital or Coax if you are using an external DAC. If you use Digital or Coax without an external DAC, it will use the Denon DAC, which is trash IMO

That's good news ...
