    How to live vicariously through your children (setting up first system for my daughter)

    Things have progressed! The Wiim Ultra is in place, along with the IOM Ultra companion (NC252MP-version). No DSP applied yet. My daughter is very happy with the setup, and I`ll probably put off measurements until she is in a more permanent apartment. Disregard the extreme toe-in in the pictures...

    What book are you reading?

    Crook Manifesto by Colson Whitehead. Great follow-up to Harlem Shuffle.

    WiiM and IOM Ultra, blessed companionship

    ? Both Ultras are RCA only. My comment was in relation to RCA likely being slightly noisier than XLR, which is what I normally use with my RME/Nord combo.

    Bob Clearmountain home and studio destroyed by Palisades fire | he and family are safe

    Lest we forget, available data from NASA shows a downward trend in fires/acerage burned on a global scale. The current conflagration in California does (to me) show signs of causation where human development driven by modern technology butts up against local topo/geographical features that...

    WiiM and IOM Ultra, blessed companionship

    I can give a try with the RME instead of the Wiim this weekend and see (hear) if there is a difference.

    WiiM and IOM Ultra, blessed companionship

    Good to know that I am not imagining things. In any case the Wiim/IOM-combo is more than good enough as a starting system for my daughter. Does make me wish for an RME ADI-version with Roon endpoint capabilities, though.

    WiiM and IOM Ultra, blessed companionship

    That's outrageous. Only EUR 30 to Norway, though.

    WiiM and IOM Ultra, blessed companionship

    A couple of slightly annoying things have popped up. Firstly, the IOM must be turned on by the trigger cable - there is no on/off switch. Ideally there should have been the ability to do this manually in order for the amp to be useful with non-trigger DAC/preamps. Secondly, there is a marked...

    WiiM and IOM Ultra, blessed companionship

    Spotted in the wild, a.k.a. my rack. The RME and Nord (on shelf below) are patiently waiting to get back in the game once the Ultras are transferred to my daughters apartment.

    Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer Review

    The trick is to enquire about the trigger sensitivity from the power amp manufacturer. If above 5v then you are out of luck, unfortunately.

    WiiM Ultra Streamer Preamp Review

    Space Grey is now on the menu, for an additional EUR 10 (due to paintjob). And the NC252MP seems now to be the only module on offer. Just ordered one for my daughter for xmas, to match her WiiM :D

    Seeking Guidance for a “Good Enough” HiFi Setup in livingroom.

    My guess? None of these actually have the speakers in stock. They just list them at RRP, and order from the Swedish distributor if/when any buyers come along. If you go and shop around, you will likely get a minimum 20% discount from one of them.

    Seeking Guidance for a “Good Enough” HiFi Setup in livingroom.

    How about this combination: WiiM Ultra streamer/dac/pre, SEK 4.700, has PEQ and sub management (for future), great app easily accessed by all potential users. IOM Ultra power amp, SEK 6.400 (EUR 450 + VAT), Hypex NC252MP that can drive pretty much anything and should look great with the WiiM...
