Probably because Wiim just teased the Vibelink Amp.

I like What Hifi for how they cover a very wide range of products so I at least know they exist. But I already know any British product is an automatic 5/5, perfect score in their book. XD

I never really liked the round design of the original DX5. This one looks to be more in line with the D70 Pro design language. This would certainly feel right at home in my desktop setup near my PC. And if it is cheaper than the original DX5 at €450 it would be an instant buy for me. Though...

Ah, the classic counterargument. Ever tried looking up the answer you are asking for? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_safety_in_Europe 2018 numbers: Number of people killed per Billion km Sweden: 3.4 France: 5.8 Germany: 4.3 Italy: 6.5 Poland: 14.6 EU Average: 5.8 And most countries in the...

Time to get a move on with all those multichannel SACD albums I have ripped.

The roads in the US are generally a lot less safe* than in France or most of the European Union but each country does have its own peculiarities and rules of the road. Just use your mirrors more often than you're used to and be aware of your surroundings. The French can be "assertive" drivers...

I set up my streamer, PC and DAC using option B. No interference or hiss whatsoever. I didn't want to have to turn on either device when listening to the other so I just went with the DAC as the central point:

Except when they do:

The market is pretty much split between Sony and Panasonic anyway and for those still collecting 1080P Blu-Rays, the second-hand market is bursting with options. LG hasn't been a relevant player for the 4K market for years now. Collectors go after 4K rescans and releases from Criterion, Arrow...

Got my hands on a Sony QS stack today for €125 in total. Sony SCD-XB770 SACD player, ST-SB920 Stereo AM/FM tuner and TA-FB930R integrated stereo amplifier.

Just for fun I mocked up some size comparisons in PowerPoint to get a feel for how this streamer would look with various DACs. Conclusions; The Topping DX9 is insanely big. :eek: The Topping E70 looks like the nicest fit in width The Topping D70 looks pretty classy The SMSL PL200 CD player...

Only tangentially related to the Wiim but here it is on the Topping display base. Found a place on Amazon that sold the Large model for the same price as the Small model. Doesn't add anything to the audio quality but it looks nice. :cool:

Just a couple of quick shots of all the media I bought this past month or so. Vinyl: Mammal Hands – Oni / Lantern Ancient Infinity Orchestra – River Of Light Hania Rani – On Giacometti Paradise Cinema – returning, dream Caoilfhionn Rose – Constellation Got the first 3 for 50% off from...

Leperco.fr has 50% off a lot of their vinyl using their 'LEPERCO50' Back to School sales. (Not associated with them). Ordered from them on the 25th and got them in the Netherlands on friday.

Wiim Forums: Beta Test: Plex There is a good bit of discussion going on there about a headless Plex implementation but they seem to be putting in the work to improve the integration.

I mostly buy stuff that reviewers tell me is useless but I enjoy it nonetheless. Think the Topping P50 linear power supply and the Topping display base. Also, the occasional SACD though I plan on selling my player since I mostly listed to the ripped disks.

The Topping D70 with LDAC is a high-end device as well. Support for up to 990 kbps over Bluetooth means most lossless FLAC files will work perfectly fine. It's just a very convenient protocol with a very wide support. Or are you the only one that can play back music on your system? Having...

Yes, Chromecast or Google Cast works well.

I haven't because I have that hooked up to my Mini-PC. (Option B)

I'm just mocking up a few things in Powerpoint right now but for me the display would already be a whole lot more functional from the couch with better spaced album art and track info. It's either a screen filled album art or sized down in lettering that's entirely too small anyway. Whereas...
