Wimm Pro in Living room, HomePods in kitchen. How to stream to both in sync?

[ProJules]

I am guessing I need to buy another Wimm device (like a mini?)

Living room Qobuz - Wimm Pro - 192/24 bit - DAC - speakers
Kitchen Qobuz - ???? - Home Pod Minis

If I get a 2nd Wimm device will Qobuz play in sync in kitchen & living room?

To get in sync playback on both will I have to "dumb down" the living room to Airplay2 44.1/16 bit to match the kitchen Home Pods? I don't mind...

Also do I use Wimm app for Qobuz?
Or Qobuz + Airplay to both speakers linked via Apple Home?

Thanks

You should be able to simply use Airplay 2 to play from the Qobuz app to both the Pro and HomePod minis, albeit at reduced resolution.

When you mention a second WiiM, it’s not clear what you’d be connecting that to - another DAC? I don’t see how you could then involve the HomePod minis as WiiM devices are airplay receivers not transmitters.

Also, if you did have a second WiiM grouped with your Pro in the WiiM app, the best you’d get is 24/48 as that’s all Linkplay groups currently support - hires multi room is/was on their roadmap

Thanks,

after resting one Home Pod mini FIVE %#*€ing times I got it going.

Airplay to living room & kitchen at same time

Nice thing is living room has the eq I set (can't do anything but cut bass on Home Pods)
