By the same token, the wiim coax works too...
Yes you are right... I didn't think about that the CD player goes 44By the same token, the wiim coax works too...

Is it a new product for WiiM?A 192khz cd player?
When will it be released?
USB output is always required.

Or it could be something fried on the coax input on your DAC. Try a different DAC to confirm that.That's right
However I did the test with the optical cable and it works at 192/24 with no problems
I did one last test with coaxial by reversing the dac port, but nothing....
So the conclusion is that it does not depend on the wifi network, but that the coaxial out port of the Wiim Pro is not working.
How do you claim warranty service?
Thanks
That's right... but even the LED on the dac says they are working at 192.
So it would be okay, but the music is heard jerky like buffering like when the connection is not working, but it is not because the optical input works perfectly at 192

I know you've tried two different digital coax cables, but how about one more check with a third cable, such as one of the 'analog' ones currently used from the dac to the amp?
(Although I do concur that the wiim coax output does seem to be the common factor here.)
Hi,
I have the same problem:
In my system, a Wiim pro is connected to B&O Beolabs 50 active speakers through Coaxial via a 75 Ohms cable.
Wiim is hard wired to the network hosting the NAS.
B&O tech support confirms that the speakers Coaxial input supports 192/24 bitate (the Optical one limited to 96 kHz).
When I play a 192 kHz file with the Wiim, at the 192/24 setting, no sound at all.
If I change the Wiim settings to 96/24, it works flawless.
I have the same problem with Qobuz as well.
I contacted Wiim which diagnosed a defective unit and replaced it.
With the new unit, it's OK with a 2 meters cable but with a 5 meters one the problem appears again... and i have to place the Wiim 5 meters away from the speakers.
Any hint?
Kind regards,
Yann.

Have you tried optical cables?
Even if the spec is 96kHz, you may actually be able to play at 192kHz.

Do you have access to any other sources that can feed a 192/24 digital stream via coax, with which you could test your two cables (and any others you may have at your disposal)? I don't know whether an impedance mismatch would be the root cause of what you're observing, but clearly something is interfering with the signal along its path between the streamer and the DAC circuitry.
@ Wiimer and Balthazar,
I made a test with optical 192 --> all I get is unlistenable mush. Anyway I'm not sure that a 5m optical cable would be reliable.
Unfortunately, I only have the Wiim as the B&O streamer already there is limited to 96/24 optical output (that's why I bought the Wiim).

Is "Fixed volume output" turned on in the WiiM app's Audio Settings?
Also, is the "Volume limit" set to 100%?
Other threads have reported that setting the Volume limit back to 100% resolved the issue.
(This may not be related to your problem.)
You can also try rebooting or resetting your WiiM just in case.

So in the WiiM you have fixed volume output set to on and both graphic and parametric EQ off? Volume Limit set to 100%? And coax output resolution set to 192/24?
To answer your questions:
Fixed volume is on, volume limit is 100%, coaxial max 24-192 and Eq is off.
The cable are Cordial CPDS, 2 and 5 meters versions
