Not working on 192/24 coax

On Roon, it has stopped and just crackling thrrough DAC

Have you tried a reboot or factory reset of your WiiM device, a different cable or connection to a different device to see if the problem persists?

What DAC? Capable of 192/24? DAC settings? Fixed resolution enabled or disabled?

Yes, does 32/386 as well but of course no use

I try tomorrow

Reboot yes but not factory reset. I'll try tomorrow. It was working and nothing has been changed - a Roon update perhaps.

OK, I pressed pause for 10 secs and went through a reset. On setting up coax it would not play 24/192: the DAC was just clipping. 24/96 is fine.

The coax is highend (The Missing Link - Binary Star), the reason I got WIIMpro to replace a Raspberry Pi4b to play Roon as my internet here (Philippines) is very unstable. The DAC is by Denafripps and is superb. So it's definately the WIIM pro.

I've seen several other posts about this and looks like the WIIM has an issue.

Oh I, forgot to mention. It was working out the box - 24/196 that is. I've been away for a few weeks and this started when I got back. Has there been a recent update?

Silly question...
Is the cable in properly at both ends?
I had intermittent trouble with high sample rate files when my coax cable came out slightly.

Man, they've been in; out and shaken all about

Looks like I'm going back to RPi4 and Ropieee, LOL

Another coax cable? Optical one instead?

Optical can only do 24/96, doh

 

[johnrxx99]

The coax is working on RPi4/ropieee at 24/192, so my DAC says.

Then your dac is not so superb if it limits its toslink input.

 

[johnrxx99]

It's Wiim Pro that limits toslink. Have you read the spec?

 

[johnrxx99]

Anyway, it doesn't play 24/196 but Pi/ropieee does. QED

WiiM doesn’t limit optical nor coax resolution - I have a Mini happily delivering 24/192 over optical and a Pro delivering 24/192 over coax, both into my Linn MDSM/4. Neither are using expensive cables either. QED

No, it's not. I have plenty of WiiMs, all of them deliver 192/24 signal over toslink.
