The competition doesn't sleep

It seems a lighter version of the S3 is in development... often requested on Wiim...
(I always smiled a little, thinking the extra cost was minor with the inclusion of a DAC, but it seems I was wrong.)

We'll see...
(Oh yes, one rather interesting feature of the ligth... a vinyl input without an ADC...Funny... but if a small passive phono stage... why not, since it will cost them almost nothing to make... an idee for futur for wiim?)

In any case, it will be interesting to observe Wiim as a new player enters their market /price niche.
Each in their own time...

Read that URL again: "Dedicated digital turntable functionality without built-in DAC"

Since this "S3 Lite" will have ONLY Digital Outs, there MUST be an ADC for the TT Analog-In.

How can it avoid ADC for vinyl when output connectivity is only USB + Coaxial + Optical? The description from FOSI is a bit of contradictory.

Hihi
True
For the normal s3 probably...?
Économy of adc..

 

[canard]

Sorry...confused.

Seems like just a line input on the S3...but maybe it needs checking without an ADC... But reading the FOSi website, they only plan simple GEC for future corrections...it seems that "heavy" signal processing isn't planned yet.

(But it took Wiim quite a while to go from GEC to PEC in their early days ;-) )

""not crazy at Fosi's""

fosi is going to try to approach with the Ultra and the Wiim Plus in mind... (logically priced between the two) despite a considerable lag in software features, so much... (even though the wealth of functions is almost a trap, requiring a lot of debugging effort, etc., for Wiim)


""the marketing of the XLR---AOP1612 ( "in ASR mode") ""
;-)

even though it uses the same AKM DAC as the "Plus" (and incidentally, the 1612s fit without any problems in the "Plus"...i do it )... not an approach with a more recent DAC, etc.


If Fosi observed Wiim and jumped at a small "easy" opportunity. It's up to Wiim to observe Fosi now and learn from it...
marketing elements "audiophiles" (which must be very recognizable... ;-) )
;-)

Ps
To be fair to Fosi...an analog output stage isn't just a few "high-tech" components...and Fosi has been a player in the low-cost audio market for a while now, with hindsight.

Here you go again. It looks like you chose a few random (or parts of) sentences out of a long text, put some "" ;-) & ..... in random places and expect others to understand what you are saying.

Don't read me...it's not a big deal...
(Even though it took me much, much longer to write it * than it took you to "attack" ( "tacler" in french ) me...)

(* I can't complain about my writing difficulties...because nothing forces me to... but as for reading me, it's the same...nothing forces you to read me....)
