USB output
- Thread starter Klipscher
- Start date
Some do not seem to understand what is obvious and long discussed and in typical internet fiefdom push against it.
You either read more carefully or stop putting words in other people’s posts.
funny..before discovering the asr the associated chinoix dacs, the returns of the i2s connections etc..i observed for many years the opposite in circles of audiophiles say very hdg, the refusal of the usb because finding it sound less good. .so can this be discussed? Where are my questions?
without answers...
if it is only to repeat the "one told me" "I read that" "you understand the spdif limited to 192k"" etc
I don't think I know these things any less than you...
but I'm asking you about your own experience.. it interests me.. really..
not " they say"..

yes the same and sorry for my written expression
yes...of courseL'équipe a déclaré qu'elle prévoyait d'équiper les appareils WiiM d'une sortie USB dans un proche avenir. Alors, devons-nous continuer la discussion futile ici? Vous semblez perdre votre temps.

The only reason I would also like having USB out is the much more greater choice of stuff to play around with. 
Even a bunch of non-chinois items deliver the astronomical high and absolute senseless highest resolution up to 798. For me and my decent equipment and ears CD quality is more than enough. I do not hear any difference!! But I want to be able to try.
If improvement is theoretically possible and I can afford that it is fine and a want-to-have. Headroom for further sensational developments.
And with USB out the possible number of toys increase in undreamt-of possibilities. Cleaners, noise destroyers, clockwork oranges and so on. So much to play for some and to measure for others. Paradisal circumstances.

Maybe, but one major critism of the pro was its dac / analog stage.
I applaud wiim for both acknowledging and addressing that issue.
Making such an update to an existing product is obviously easier than incorporating a new connection (and you're all bound to want it to be galvanically isolated!).
in doubt whether present on the dac side:
insulation that could be integrated in the future on the coaxial too (because it does not seem to be the case in pro ( plus ? .. to be checked))
ps I also find that the reaction of wiim concerning the fact of reacting in this way concerning the analog output aspect of the pro (which may have just not been a slightly cleaner rereading of the mini on this very limited output) really reviewed , not at the margin, really to be welcomed... not a vague "SE"...

Let's stop the stupidity. WiiM was told on day 1 that a USB-C data output was needed. They seem to have a comprehension problem that prohibits them from understanding that request. The Pro+ doesn't require an external design change so adding a better DAC was an easier solution for those who couldn't afford or comprehend why an external one was desired. WiiM is making it seem that adding a USB-C data output would cause major design changes to the external shape of the unit and it is a cost that they don't want to make.

As a big confider in the capability of WiiM's market research department I think they do their housework well. And maybe for today they found out that for a too small percentage of the market an USB out is important. So "comprehension problem" in this case for me is pure nonsense. I see such a problem more by "much, many, majority needs". This forum is a bubble only. And if you, what I deny, will find only here more than 200 supporters this is far away from the numbers they need. They read our wishes and I never before noticed a company which does so much in communication with us nerds and do everything step by step. So wait and see. Keep yer heid!
Do not understand me wrong, I would also like to have this feature.

Please keep remarks respectful. Referring to Wiim having a “comprehension problem” is not conducive to a constructive conversation. Plus they have already said that the two products they have in the pipeline after the Pro Plus will have USB out viz.

For the person asking for use cases: My Topping D10 DAC *ONLY* has USB in.
(I'm using a different DAC in my main setup. If the Wiim Pro had USB out, I'd buy a second one to use in my bedroom setup.)

Well I would buy a Wiim product if there was usb output to pair w/ Schiit Ragnarok’s integrated DAC. But instead I’ll buy a Bluesound, which is overkill for Spotify Connect but it seems to be my best option.
