Wiim to Wiim streaming

Wiim multiroom streaming is lossless.
Can't recall the max sample rate / bit depth supported (48/16 ??), but CD quality, yes.
Someone will give you the real numbers
Caveat: depending on the source, obviously!
If you are streaming Apple Music or using airplay then all bets are off.

Do you mean using its ability to output via Airplay to the Kefs? Have to ask why you would do that any way rather than plug it in via coax or optical.
Because I'm using the analog inputs from the Wiim to wirelessly stream. I have a lot of knowledge on audio, know about direct connection being better quality, I just need to know this simple question. Does streaming using the analog input from one Wiim stream lossless quality audio to another Wiim. I.e. CD player/turntable to Wiim Pro -> 2nd Wiim Pro -> Kef Wireless 2, LS50. I can't directly connect the source to the Kefs thus the Wiim could be the solution if it is lossless.
What is multi room streaming? The source is the Wiim analog input to cast to another Wiim device, is this lossless?Wiim multiroom streaming is lossless.

Multi room streaming is just when you group two or more wiims so that they are all playing the same music - in multiple rooms.
If your source is, for example, a cd quality track from tidal or a cd quality digital input then it will be streamed losslessly to the other wiims.
If the source is > 48/16 then I believe it's resampled to that then sent to the other wiims. Some would argue that this downsampling is basically lossless
The analog input is always digitised, and can then be sent to the other wiims.
Lossless doesn't really apply to an analog input.

Hi there,
Reading this thread I wonder if someone here may help me with the following question:
I have my laptop connected to a projector and use it for movies. Now, since my speakers are at the opposite side of the room (where the image is being projected) I wonder if I can connect a wiim mini to the laptop and have it "cast" or "transmit" the audio to my wiim pro plus and my power amp on the other side of the room - and so I would not need cables going all the way from one end to the other - also, in case this is possible, is an audio delay to be expected? Would the image be out of sync?
Thank you so much for reading!

You could group the mini and the pro plus so audio coming in to the mini’s aux input is also played wirelessly on the pro plus. I wouldn’t expect sync to be an issue but you might be able to use the audio sync setting in the WiiM devices or indeed your pc if there is.
Whereas I might have expected a lip sync issue.
At least, when I last grouped wiims and had a tv optical out as a source it was unwatchable, seemingly around 0.5 secs off.
