Powering WiiM Pro Plus with a power bank

[slartibartfast]

Swing and a miss. Rob Watts had a lot more to say then the limited offering you posted just last year.

To my repeated point, despite the denialists:
"For low power DAC amps Li ion batteries are also ideal"
Any PSU needs to be compared against battery operation - if the SMPS sounds identical to a car battery..."

That's a Wrap.
I won!

(I'm sure we're going to see denialists chop up the word "ideal" into numerous parts and mock it as well.)

Nobody said batteries didn't make good power supplies. They just aren't necessarily beneficial. Like Rob Watts says, Chord DACs work perfectly well with SMPS.

You are not only a comedian, have no technical insight/knowledge of the topics discusses but now also claim a victory. That seems pretty narcissistic to me, but what do I know right?

Does a power bank or something else make a difference? It may, depending on various factors. And yes power supplies are important for quality audio playback.

These threads go on and on like a bunch of kids fighting on the playground. The OP made a statement reporting a change. Try it… like it? fine, otherwise move on.

Because the units themselves have internal power regulation and RF filtering. Adding ‘better’ power supplies will either make no difference or make it sound worse (brighter) – so superficially more impressive but actually worse due to increased RF noise from big linear PSUs.

This ^^^

If your equipment can't cope with noise from the power supply (which always happens 100%) or noise from a network connection (always happens 100%) its been poorly designed and should not be sold, full stop. There are EMI standards that proper electronics have to pass. Its as if some people here think we are in the 1940's
Buy gear thats at least been competently engineered.
Don't buy stuff that makes you jump through unmeasurable snake oil hoops to attain a descent noise floor
And running from batteries nearly always uses more noisy switching circuits anyway
Hubris from the ignorant, sorry

And if you have claims, back it up with measurements, not some voodoo

Let's ignore the "necessarily" part.

Sound the retreat!

The victory is mine. The victory for others with very good audio systems will be theirs, to all the battery-powered low-investment followers.

As seen, the technical knowledge has been provided, published and shared. No matter what you do, you can't stop us now!
To those who love better audio, follow meeeeee!

I guess in your reality the earth is flat and the moon is made of cheese.

Geezzz please stop with the childish posts. You can disagree with a post or an opinion but just stop with childish attacks on members. Thanks! This is getting ridiculous.

Hmm lots of talk about Chord here. just looked at measurements of a $14K Chord DAC. Sorry, anyone who pays $14K for this thing is a damned fool. Its engineer isn't a very good at engineering. I wouldn't listen to a thing he says, honestly.

Chord DAVE Review (DAC & HP Amp)

This is a review, detailed measurements and listening tests of CHORD DAVE combination DAC and headphone amplifier. It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $14,000. Having been frustrated with the user interface of lower end Chord products with their color Morse codes, I was really looking...

So, how can you prove that your system is superior?
