Wiim Ultra vs Node Icon

[DG77]

As a dac compared to your dac and wiim’s dac?

As transport to the DAC in my active speakers compared to as having Wiim Ultra as transport to my the DAC in my active speakers.

Will do Dirac measurements Today.

I think he was meaning the replay gain in audio prefs of Bluos, I noted it makes a mistake with some songs and lowers too much the level, both with tidal and Qobuz....

But is that not for the streaming services only? (Not for the digital inputs like HDMI / Optical IN)
either way it was deactivated.

Ah sorry . Did not phrase that correctly . I meant if you also tested it as a dac. But in your case it may not matter since you will have double conversions

From the bluos documentation, I can deduce that "replay gain" looks to metadata of reproducing file, regardless it's from a streaming service. Since those metadata are not always precise, at last it doesn't work so well
