It's not so simple because my ears also measure. My brain analyzes the results. The problem is that it's not calibrated at all and final results can vary.
Then go what you believe in end of story. People are not all same so don’t create that will lead to firestorm of arguments later down the road. Objective and subjective will never get along!
I do not see any reason to try to improve anything on WiiM's side when bit-perfect scenario is achieved, because there is nothing to be improved.
Lol you’re funny! Like the other person said he stated that he heard improvement. Do you have anything to loose if you order it and return it if did not meet your expectations? I would have return this unit if I did not hear different and keep my 130.
I won't bother the seller by returning a device that he can no longer sell as new, without a good reason. I know it's quite common to buy in order to test something and to return after all, but I do avoid such behavior. So if I'm not convinced at all I do not buy.
Are you happy on your system? Speaker placement, room treatments can make huge impact on improving sounds. If you look at affordable dac like in 200 range vs 500 and their snr and distortion are very close but the expensive one are more pleasing and enjoyable to listen.
I'm quite happy with it because I can use my miniDSP Flex device to correct room acoustic the way I want to do. To get as much enjoyable sound as it's possible for me.
You know it's about what the DAC can do with the incoming spdif clock...what is bitperfect....?
;-)
I do not think that APx555 tries to correct incoming clock. It wouldn't make sense in the measurement device.
I do not know, I'm too dumb for all that stuff. But going to have a simple spdif recorder very soon, something between RME and Flex in terms of clock manipulation I guess. Gonna see how WiiM measure with such kind of device.
Just tell me how I can hear any difference when I can get bit-perfect stream on my DAC coming from WiiM?
Seriously, people who comment about improvement on different power supply you criticize them as they fall on snake oil. Look, it’s part of business perspective that some get return for whatever reason. Like I said if you’re not happy return it and you get refunded on your return especially Amazon has good return policy. What do you have to loose and in fact you may thank me for improvement. Many of us already stated the improvement.

Every aspect in design it impact sound quality. With regards with your question, those matters on the designer perspective and as you as a buyer wether you agree with them or not it’s up to you. If you think you can do better then redesign what wiim did on their product and give us your feedback.
