It creates a deeper soundstage with the plastic film attached and flapping about
What's your setup/configuration look like?

For maximum transparency and clarity you obviously have to take it off.
It also adds weight to the music if left on. + & -For maximum transparency and clarity you obviously have to take it off.
Can I ask where you got the rack from? Thanks
Do
Confused. Do you look at it, listen to it, or pilot it?Ok, I'm kiddingBut looks delicious, does it? And a WiiM is missing..I guess the owner has to save some money first..View attachment 3087
Hi @delage it's a couple, few, of these https://www.electromod.co.uk/topping-stand I have them around the house for different systems and this one has multiple tiers. I took the top tier from each of the other 3 and added them onto this one. Be careful if going this high to have a good base and low centre of gravity

Also, if put on a Nikola Tesla picture, harmonics and sound stage will widely spread..You know you can take the plastic film off your Mini, don’t you? I’m sure there’ll be someone out there who will claim it sounds better without it

Nothing to add except that I really enjoy looking at the myriad of set-ups here. So cool! I should contribute too but I am just a procrastinator prince.

Nice pair, SMSL & Wiim ProWould be great to see some pictures of your setup with WiiM Mini and exact audio configuration to give others some ideas and recommendations

very good, practical because of the features it has, I have the dx1 topping and smsl I like it a little more
Following a "boomeristic" impulse, I just added this amp, a Nad 3050LE, mainly for Dirac and sub management, D class and depth measure less than 36cm...
I was thinking to keep using WiiM mini, since its software seems better than Bluos.
Just right now, Bluos finally added Tidal connect hi-res support, I will check how functional wiil be.

Now that’s the sort of system I’m trying to replicate. Do you have remote controls and in-wall controllers in each of the rooms to activate a zone? I’m trying to replace an old Systemline s4.3 system where the zone amps have given up the ghost. Thought I might be able to do it with 6 Wiim mini’s and 6 Fosi audio v3 amps, but just can’t find a solution to use remote controls from each of the zone to activate, do volume and skip tracks.
If you swapped 6 x Mini's for 6 x Pro's then addition of 6 x WiiM Remote should do it but you probably will have sync issues if you tried to play the same thing in each zone using WiiMs group mechanism - it relies on "listening mics" to keep the sync and my, albeit limited, testing suggests this isn't ideal.
I have this sort of multi room setup using LMS which uses a different sync mechanism. The server tells each player what and when - no listening. For control I can use any number of Squeezebox remotes or more typically old phones/tablets left in convenient places running Material HTML5 skin.
As an example.
In my Living Room I have a Raspberry Pi running piCorePlayer (player only mode) which is connected to my main HiFi via a DAC. This is named "Living Room".
In my Kitchen (recently made open plan with my Dining Room) I have a WiiM Pro connected to some nice B&W in ceiling speakers. This player is nameed "Kitchen".
They can play independently or as a "Downstairs" group.

That’s useful info, I didn’t know about the sync issue with multiple devices. In my plan, all the WiiM’s would be located in a cabinet in the lounge along with the Fosi v3 amps, which is where all the ceiling speaker cables route back to, so the Wiim remote controls wouldn’t work from each of the zones because of the distance. One of my wishes is that Wiim do a wifi enabled remote control, but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen. …I miss remote controls especially when you have different family members wanting to change volume, skip tracks or turn the zone off… phones and the apps are just too fiddly, need charging, signing into etc…. Sounds like you’ve got a good workaround with the squeezebox remotes!

If the WiiMs are close enough so that their mics can hear one another, then they’ll be in sync. If they can’t hear one another, then does it matter if the WiiMs are not 100% in sync (which I don’t think anyone has said)?

Yes the WiiM’s will be able to hear one another as they’re all in the same cabinet, so hopefully they’ll all be in sync. I just need to find a remote control solution. I’ve looked extensively at whole home audio systems with inwall controllers that accept remote control input to activate the zones and control volume etc, but they’re mainly US supplied systems, and the inwall control units aren’t that elegant…. If you know of anything I could consider that’s available via UK suppliers I’d be happy to hear about it.
