Thank you for the great review, as usual. Personally this device has everything I need for a reasonable price: Excellent DAC (as confirmed here), PEQ and subwoofer management, and of course the streaming capabilities. Maybe future upgrades will bring balanced outputs, bigger and better screen...

The subwoofer output seems to be gone broken in my unit a few days back. It does not reproduce lowest notes anymore, only above 150Hz or something and it just doesn’t sound right anymore. Checked it with my AVR and changed cables and nothing wrong with the subwoofer itself, it’s definately the...

For anyone interested and facing the same problem I discussed about the issue on Wiim Forum and a solution was found: Post in thread 'Feature Request for Separate PEQ for Left & Right Channels'...

Has anyone noticed that the PEQ interface behaves really weirdly in L/R channels mode? I’ve been trying to save copies of previous EQ tables to modify them and when you switch between them one of the channels seems to get lost. It doesn’t sound that the information would be actually lost but...

Well, lowest bass was around 10Hz so practically meaningless, but also from around 7kHz upwards When placed in 90 degrees angle, which some recommend for better treble measurements, the 3db up to 4dB variation starts much higher. The main point was that when the calibration mic was used with the...

According to my microphone calibration file data there can be over 3dB variations (mid highs and lowest bass regions) and none of this will be applied to the RC results. However, if your speaker & room setup has variations more than that then I suppose it can help but I would still take the...

I don’t understand what’s the point of using the Room Correction tool in Wiim, especially if you have a calibrated microphone since you cannot load the calibration files into the software. I tried it with Umik-1 and got completely different results and the equalisation sounded horrible compared...

It can play lossless HiRes Flac up to 24-bit 192kHz so pretty much.

Finally!: New feature: Tidal Connect Latest HEOS app and firmware update available - Changelog (24.07.2024) https://support.denon.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3832/~/latest-heos-app-and-firmware-update-available

So how this would compare to Pro Plus in terms of DAC performance, any difference?

Well it’s easy to just listen the track and check your findings later. However, sloppy job with the channels does kind of ruin that part of the test and make it harder to tell whether there’s actual discrepancies in the sound itself (unless you are willing to listen them in mono). Also such...

To my understanding simplest “preamp“ can be just a passive attenuator / voltage divider, easy to DIY or maybe get some cheap assembled device from Aliexpress or alike. See for instance: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/simplest-passive-preamp-design.301814/ Also vintage markets...

I have to admit that YT‘s compression is the bottleneck here. What would make it really interesting is if the creator could provide a download link for a lossless or even better HiRes soundtrack to be played along with the video. I’m still doubtful there would be any significant audible...

Alpha Audio, are you serious? Please provide a link where they have good quality recordings.

Measurements aside, can you honestly (=blindly) hear a difference?

Just a suggestion to consider: Make a new subcategory for Power Amplifiers only. At the moment power and integrated amplifiers are reviewed in the same subcategory (Stereo and Multichannel Amplifier Reviews). However, these kind of amplifiers traditionally differ drastically from each other. The...
