Yeah, that was the screenshot I saw in a few FB groups so I contacted WiiM who in turn contacted Qobuz who rubbished the claim. Makes you seriously doubt anything Eversolo’s marketing department say…
I really like this part. Apple Connect is going to materialize in my mindPlus don’t you love something as specific as “etc” in such a document?
Not like you wouldn't already know but the latest beta on my Pro supports Roon
Or maybe it started the build before?
I don't use it so I didn't care
What I haven't done yet but want to soon is put the Wiim into my DAC and see if it'll DOP
Seems like Squeezelite functionality should make it possible...
Stay tuned...

The Pro has supported Roon on public firmware for a while - do you mean the Plus?

You'd think Eversolo have absolutely no reason for any of that given the great reviews their unit has been receiving. No need to be deceptive about anything or cause someone to make a purchase prematurely that they might then be angry enough about to just return, leaving a sour taste in their mouth about the brand.
One thing about the Eversolo, it has USB, optical, and coax digital inputs, and it has USB, optical, and coax digital outputs, but only the internal streamer can be routed to the digital outputs. The digital inputs can only output analog. That was a deal breaker, contrary to their Amazon listing.
Also their return policy is to hold your payment for 30 days or more before they will start to process your return. The VU meters were cute, but WiiM is miles ahead!

The other thing about the Eversolo is that it runs Android, which means it will be unsupported for security updates in about three years. Then what? Doubtful that Eversolo will update Android to a new full version.
Ok, so I finally got around to plugging my Pro (not +) into my DOPable DAC
So, good and bad news
DOP is not currently supported, but the music was converted to 24/192 PCM...which did not sound as good as the same files using USB (and therefore DSD Direct) or my Pi with Digione doing DOP
Wiim team, can we expect a more functional Squeezelite in a future update?
Hopefully

Is this not more a case of the WiiM device not supporting DoP, no matter how it‘s delivered? I’d drop them a ticket asking them about DSD/DoP support on all their devices - for example, it might be that the Pro or Plus might support such in the future, but not the Mini given the latter’s lower RAM/CPU capability?
Some notes on DOP specifications
Squeezelite, in some compiles, is compatible
The Digione Pi uses it

By the way because we use Amazon not so often. The only way to see the delivery date was to put the item to the shopping basket, having a look and then deleting again. No other way possible?

No, I don’t think so - a lot probably depends on your address, how close you are to a distribution centre that has it in stock, what couriers are available etc. Someone else in Germany might get a different target delivery date as a result.
