I have been thinking about doing exactly this with a MiniDSP Flex and amp for my media room. Can you share what switch(es) you are using?

My Wiim Mini’s show up as players in LMS once I installed the UPnP/DLNA Bridge plugin. Seems to work pretty well.

Ha! Me too! Then we’re in agreement that the Wiim Mini is best for ourselves, all things considered! :)

I looked and I only found data on GoldenSound. Didn’t find any measurement data on here. No doubt a solid set of jitter measurements, even if it is not apples to apples on how that data is taken or displayed in other places, like here on ASR. I’ll also say that the THD+N data for this streamer...

On the topic of expense, I haven’t seen the measurement data, but for me personally, I would not pay $1k for a Raspberry Pi-based solution that only has digital outputs and open source streaming software implementations. Raspberry Pi4B (4GB) boards are on sale on Amazon for $68 right now. I have...

'Target device' refers to the LMS server with RPi as the target playback device, not MoodeAudio. For instance, in my house, I have LMS installed on my Mac mini server where I store my music library, and Wiim Mini's throughout my house are the target playback devices (via UPnP). Agreed that...

MoodeAudio or LMS on your server with PiCorePlayer on the RPi target playback device. Volumio is also out there but is not free and I would not recommend it.

One with open source implementations of Airplay (ShairPort) and other streaming protocols, no less. And a case that looks DIY. Not that I can even afford a $16k streaming box, but this is clearly not targeting me.

Definitely agree. The McIntosh aesthetic is just not my cup of tea.

Not the same thing, but once I bought an RPi4 power supply that had audible hum itself, coming from the wall wart. I could hear it during quiet parts of the music. I swapped it out.

Looks great!

As far as I can tell, the A300 does not have a digital input or built in DAC, though you called it a DAC. SMSL’s DACs usually have a model# that begins with SU or D. The Wiim Pro Plus has a much better built in DAC than the Mini and the Pro. On the other hand, if this is for more casual...

Thanks! I missed that response from him in the thread.

I gave it a shot, briefly. I couldn’t figure out how skip the setup process and I didn’t want to reset my Wiim(s) from scratch. So, I think the answer is maybe, but it does not seem to automatically recognize already setup Wiims. See below.

Cover is removable, it was just off for the picture/when I play records. The mk5 had the reset button on the pitch adjust.
