SACD support

[andreart]

I have a lot of SACD iso files on my NAS, but I see that it is not supporting. maybe in future add support for this format ? Or I need to search for convertors ?

WiiM does not support SACD ISO files, only SACD DSF files, but be aware that it converts them to PCM. If you want to convert ISO files to DSF, search the web; several tools are available.

Sure, why not support other dead formats like BetaMax too?

Really? Why the smart a$$ remark on a legitimate request for a future upgrade? DSD is not a dead format like Betamax. I also have hundreds of DSF files of ripped SACDs. It would be great if WiiM streamers especially the Ultra could play DSD/DSF files without conversion to PCM. But for now I'm fine with the DSF to PCM conversion with my Ultra and Pro.

Agreed.. The Eversolo’s can do it but I presume the reasons why it hasn’t been included in the WiiM is limitations of the hardware?

I have two Eversolo DMP-A6 streamers in two different systems. They do in fact play DSF files of ripped SACDs without conversion to PCM. That's a good question on whether playing DSD/DSF files without conversion to PCM is a WiiM hardware limitation.

My first streamer was a BluseSound Node and it was a nightmare in regard to playing DSF files. All of the DSF files on my hard drives had to be converted to PCM files before the Node would even play them. Now the newer BlueSound streamers will play DSD/DSF files without conversion to PCM. But the BlueSound streamers are overpriced and Lenbrook (BS parent company) is embracing MQA. I'll gladly accept DSF to PCM conversion with WiiM streamers any day over owning a BlueSound streamer.

Really? Why the smart a$$ remark

You ever been on an internet forum before? They're full of people who can't resist making unnecessary "smart a$$" remarks.......

Seriously, I'll thumbs up this. I'm all for the support of any, all and as many ways to enjoy music as possible. I received my monthly cassette subscription today. It's full of brand new music by artists, most of whom, weren't born when the cassette, as a format, was pronounced dead by most people.

I've been on AVS, the Steve Hoffman and a few other audio forums for many years. So yes I've been on internet forums for years. I'm well aware of how many people can't resist to post smart a$$ remarks. That doesn't mean one can't respond to those posts and call out that person for it.

No offense but your "You ever been on an internet forum before?" comment falls into the smart a$$ category as well.

That was the joke..................

OK... a smiley face would have helped me a bit on that one. I'll edit my post to remove my remarks on your post.
