Hi on the wiim app, on SPDIF output resolution I've selected 192khz + 24bits
It plays the tune + my external separate DAC it shows it's received a HD signal yet when I play a amazon music ultra HD track the HD light goes off, I have made sure inches wiim app I've selected HD/UHD for amazon music/ Then on amazon music app I've selected via the settings streaming quality HD/UHD + still when playing UHD tracks on my external DAC the HD/Hi-res light goes off??? Then I went back to the wiim Pro app and once again went to SPDIF output preferences and selected 192khz + 24 bit played test audio clicked yes and the test music played and the HD light came on my DAC'S front panel??? Any advice

The track I'm playing ATM is a 24/44.1 I thought that this resolution would play as a HD on my naim DAC?

Don’t confuse amazon‘s terms with what your DAC thinks as HD. As I’ve said, anything 16bit from amazon is HD in their terminology, anything 24 bit us UHD. I don’t know what Naim claim HD to be.

Can you post a screenshot of the pages in the Wiim home app when you chose browse from the main page, followed by alexa, and then the page shown when you choose the cog setting icon on that Alexa page? You should then see a page with settings for Alexa language and amazon music hd/uhd.

I wouldn’t worry about fixed volume at the moment, that doesn’t change the resolution of the track you’re playing. However, you should set it to fixed in the Wiim Home app under your Wiim device audio settings for bit perfect output, as well as not using the WiiM’ ps EQ settings.

So, the last screenshots shows what the WiiM delivers. 24 bit and 192 kHz. You get the highest possible resolution. No matter what your DAC shows.

Hi so I've changed the wiim pro app to 24/96 and NO HD light came on the naim DAC so if amazon says UHD 24/44.1 my DAC is playing the highest resolution possible?

Sorry, that doesn’t show the pages I requested. In the WiiM Home app, choose Browse. You should see an entry for Alexa under music services - choose that , then the cog icon. That should open a page with options for the Alexa language used, along with another toggle for HD/UHD. This is what controls what the Amazon music app sends to the Wiim.

see these screenshots from my iPad

Came to a point where I really touch my limits. We are circling around and around. Your last screenshot shows: Every thing alright. If your DAC is indeed the (outdated) NAIM CLASSIC LINE DAC I am sure the problem is at this place. But, the problem is there is no problem. You get HiRes all over. If the only issue is the not glowing light...? I could be nasty and ask if you really hear differences? Or is the fun related to a led?

We haven’t yet seen his screenshots which match the three I’ve just posted, the last one of which is crucial in getting lossless bit perfect amazon music hd/uhd to the Wiim from the amazon music app.
