-300dB would be more like hearing whats happening in oort cloud-300dB must be the level for those "hearing" their dust mites farting
Yeah, aware of that from the other main WiiM thread and other forums, and direct contact with WiiM themselves.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if they were OEM to Amazon on some devices. Their website confirms that they are OEM to a lot of familiar names. https://www.linkplay.com/
Ok but there is now answer still to my question. Amirm said "transparent output via Toslink when using native wiim app" - so again. I open Spotify app click on Spotify connect, select wiim - music playing. Is it transparent or transparent is only, when manually open wiim app and play hard drive files or radio? Because when I click Spotify in wiim mini app it doesn't showing my playlists etc. Its showing only one message - use Spotify app as remote for wiim mini. Its not clear at all
Best not come into this forum with such baseless opinionated slander. Not a good first post.
That's nonsense.
I use that all the time, the use cases are legion. Most used for me is if I am having guest over that want to put music from their phone. Just to clarify, is this audio trough Bluetooth at large that you find useless, or just the fact that a high performance DAC would accept Bluetooth. Do you use Bluetooth at all? I think it's totally OK to not use it, but in 2022 not "knowing" a use case comes across as odd. Bluetooth audio may be the most widespread general way of transmitting audio today. Just not sure if I understood your statement correctly, or if you have been living under a rock, or you mis-expressed yourself.
Spotify uses lossy compression. The transport here, via Spotify Connect, is no doubt 16-bit, until Spotify (if ever) supports 24-bit streaming.
You do realize that unlike other ”reviewers”, this site does not do any paid reviews. No advertising, etc... You are new here so maybe you were unaware of how the site works... people send things in, Amir reviews them, publishes his measurements.
I know that, im talking about measurements in review and how wiim mini behave.
Same situation here! Apple TV 3 - airplay to Dac for last years. Now wiim mini to Dac
How it sounds to you vs Apple TV with airplay?
??? WiiM is most likely using the open source librespot on their device. It will connect directly to the optical output via ALSA or similar. It will be as transparent as possible.
He can profit from donations, we know because these assumptions have been raised before. This site is independant from the manufacturers. You joined today, just to make an accusation like that. Please. By the way it's not legal to pay the press for good review, some people tend to think this industry is Mafia controlled with brown enveloppes being slipped trough or bitcoins transfers. You guys watch to many movies. Yes some publications will tend to be favorable to customers who buys advertisement in their pages or site. I get that, most reviews from other sites are biased by that. Yes it's difficult for a "reporter" to completely trash a manufacturer that just said "You can keep it" to the 500$ piece of equipment he send for review, I get that too, bias is everywhere but pushing that to be paid, receiving money, to lie about a product that you think is poor. It doen't work like that. For a reviewer to ask money to put a good review on a product, that's not how it is, if not are all honest, all would still be careful because once it's known, and to profit from that it has to be known, this reviewer's carreer is over. There is a different between bending the truth to not hurt a great source of advertising money, than receiving a check to falsify measurments... Please.
Yes. @amirm's conclusion here is completely off base for the vast majority of users. The Roon community is TINY compared to Spotify users; hell, even compared to Tidal users, lol. My subjective conclusion: BUY IT!
