Before buying a long enough Toslink cable to test things:
What would be the technically better DAC towards my old NAD C370 amplifier (which has RCA-connectors for input only):
the one in my new WiiM Pro Plus or the one in my 2009 NAD C565BEE CD-player (apparently "two Wolfson 24bit / 192 kHz DAC-chips in Dual Differential configuration", exact type not known)???
Idea's?
(The WiiM alone produces heavenly sounds from Qobuz already 🤭)
 
One might expect the one that's 15 years younger to be technically better.
This seems to tell me what you already know ;) 'The WiiM alone produces heavenly sounds from Qobuz already'.

No way you can move things a bit to not need a longer cable to try it for yourself?
How will you play Qobuz via a cd player??

'Moving things a bit' is harder than expected 😉.
WiiM to CD-player DAC through Toslink, then CD-player to Amp through RCA.
