What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

[CliffyBC]

This has been mentioned before - probably by me - but I'm going to say it again.

CD transport, no DAC required, designed to go into the digital input on your WiiM streamer/streaming amplifier (or anythng else).

But WiiM cheap. It really doesn't need to be any more than £30. Okay, maybe £50 tops.

Plenty of FiiOs and SMSLs charging £150+ for a player including a DAC which most of us don't need.

Reading round the various audio forums, I think it'd sell like hot cakes.

I bought the Fiio DM 13 but if Wiim made a CD Player in the same format, I would have purchased it.

I wonder if WiiM will ever release a "WiiM Amp Mega"? It would be like the AMP Ultra, but with an even better DAC and 150 or more watts into 8 ohms.
It would be cool

I wonder what that better DAC would do better than the current one?

Better sound quality. Not that the one in the Amp Ultra is bad.

What is better sound quality? What is missing with the current DAC? You need to be more specific here

I want veils lifted, darker blackgrounds, a lower noise floor and a more analog sound ;-)

Here‘s my recommendation.

And to be less sarcastic:

There is no darker background than absolute silence.
You want less noise. What noise? There is no audible noise what so ever in the current implementation. Thus it it also dead silent and there is no ‚darker background‘ to be achieved.
Lifting the veils. Hmm, I can only speculate on what you mean. But mostly their is no veil to be lifted, only better recordings to be made and better speskers to installed.

No I didn‘t. But my impression is that he meant what he wrote, regardless.

Sometimes it is a pain with impressions.

I was joking! I blurted out every audiophile cliché I could think of.

Apologies to you an @RazzFazz then.

Have you also been joking about the desired 1.76 dB increase in SPL? That's what 150 W will get you compared to 100 W.

Low blow man.

Whatever WiiM decides to make they need at least a toslink and coaxial input (2 digital inputs) on their next Ultra or Amp.

If needed, you can find inexpensive small hubs for multiple Toslink sources, selectable via remote control, to Toslink. ;-)

I’m already doing that. I want to avoid that in the next iteration
