    What Hi-Fi's Amp Reviews: A Basket of Unmeasurables?

    Indeed we do live in strange times. It seems that easier to access to information an informed populace does not make. Not sure what equipment you're referring to re: What HiFi amping up Richer Sounds products? Richer are a retailer / distributor and don't make their own kit. The only...

    What Hi-Fi's Amp Reviews: A Basket of Unmeasurables?

    Some evidence for that? They are as far as I'm aware, not at all linked (apart from maybe advertising). For what it's worth I've always had very good service from RS; they stock a good range of kit and are usually open to me taking stuff home to test. Would have picked up my WiiM amp from...

    Lively. That's what I've liked about all the Triangle speakers I've tested in my room; they seem to drive tracks forward with energy and in particualr sound great with drums and guitars (given I listen to a lot of metal in all it's extremes that's a great quality for me). In terms of the amp -...

    Triangle Borea BR03 Review (bookshelf speaker)

    My experience with these aligns with yours. Demos and in-room tests against multiple other speakers (Focal Aria 906, Q Acoustics 5020, Monitor Audio Silver RX1 and Silver 50, Monoprice 365T, Klipsch RP-600M) and preferred the way these sound above all the others. The sound of drums and guitars...

    Yeah apologies was veering off a bit there. Overall I'm super happy with the amp, despite the occasional lack of HDMI ARC sound. It's not like I've had smooth results using ARC across different TVs and other audio devices costing many multiples of the WiiM, so I will forgive it for now :)

    Which only a very small minority of people do. Even on here - which is a very specific sub-section of an interest group - I suspect those that use physical media or local storage for video content is a minority. On my Panasonic TV I have the option of Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Rakuten, BBC...

    My sister has my 2018 LG OLED (5 1/2 years old now) and that still works fine with all services listed above + more such as iPlayer. Have you got experience of services being dropped by manufacturers due to a lack of software updates?

    Why on earth would they do that when most TV OS's are quicker to get to the key services (Netlfix, Prime, Disney Plus) than any other source, and usually at the highest quality? Everyone I know personally uses their TV rather than an external source.

    WiiM Pro Plus & Fosi Audio V3 or WiiM Amp?

    I'm guessing you're not in the UK, where the average living room (at 17 square metres) is 3 square metres smaller than your 'smallish' office. No wonder there's such a difference of opinion regarding speaker capabilities each side of the pond when they're filling rooms that are so different in...

    I can hear the faintest of whines at about 5cm from the amp. Not a concern for me - totally inaudible at about 20cm away - and a lot quieter than the transformer hum I've had from a host of Cambridge Audio amps, which were all audible at my listening position. Still not solved the HMDI ARC...

    I get to wear the big doofus hat. Doesn’t matter how many settings you play with when you’ve inserted the wrong hdmi cable ‍♂️

    I’ve now exhausted all options on the TV and amp..nothing. Stick with optical for now and return to it later.

    If you’re not going to large party levels then yes fine. I’ve tried mine with a pair of MA Silver 50s and Triangle BR03s. Plenty of drive with both although the BR03s are more sensitive so do hit volume easier.

    I think so - played around with so many settings I gave up for now. Chucked the optical cable in and using that; sounds great.

    WiiM Amp discussion

    Received my amp earlier today. Streaming is working fine, but I have an issue with the HDMI ARC doesn’t produce any sound. The TV and Wiim are connected no problem (amp volume can be controlled via the TV remote) but absolute silence. Played around with the various settings on both but no...

    Arcam SA30 ... Anyone got / heard one?

    Not sure if you went for an external DAC, but there's absolutely no point in doing this if you use Dirac on the unit (rather than analogue direct), which I suspect you will as you liked the result. With Dirac on, you just end up with this: DAC (external) > ADC (internal) > Dirac (dsp) > DAC...

    These are currently available at Richer Sounds for £999 with the Roksan K3 integrated amp: Richer Sounds Chora + K3 Thinking of taking the plunge and pairing with a Topping E30 II DAC and little Wiim streamer.

    Marantz Cinema 50 installed

    SBIR perhaps (although that window is very small). Is your left speaker a different distance from the front wall to the centre and / or right? Thanks for your thoughts on the receiver. Looking to pick one of these up to replace my Anthem MRX 720, fancy having a play with Audessey and then...
