    WiiM Pro Plus Streamer Review

    Just click on your account icon in the upper left corner of the AM app on your phone and then select Connect to a Device option on the list. It should then show your Wiim device, which you can connect and cast to from the AM app on your phone directly. Same bitperfect quality, no downsampling...

    $1500 for a pair? dont mind used. looking for GREAT LF extension and those low mids.

    You haven't mentioned the size of your room but unless it is on a larger side, I would highly recommend looking at a pair of Sierra LX from Ascend Acoustics ($1,548 with free shipping): https://ascendacoustics.com/collections/sierra-series-pairs/products/sierra-lx-pair?variant=40080757162038...

    I know this site believes dacs make very little difference, but what about streamers?

    Unless your CD player is broken or streamed version uses different master, yes, of course they are the same. You can capture the bitstream yourself and compare to ripped CD image. Others did this and found the bits are all the same.

    I know this site believes dacs make very little difference, but what about streamers?

    If streamers were different then our modern civilisation would not exist. Streamers are just specialized computers. You don't believe your savings account could have different value depending on the brand of computers your bank uses, do you?

    McIntosh MB20 vs. WiiM Pro Plus

    It shows it is casting in SD, which means lossy encoding is used (likely, mp3). Chromcast is still not fully supported by Amazon Misic HD.

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    Except it will also require higher output voltage and cheaper/smaller power supplies often found in AVR's might not be able to cope with the demand. But looking at the actual impedance measurements plot, I agree that it does not look like anything special at all. No idea why Amir called it...

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    Looks like for this Onkyo's model amp performance is actually closer to 30 WCh @ 4R due to poor thermals / power management, see Amir's review https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/onkyo-tx-rz50-review-home-theater-avr.30842/ The speakers, on the other side, are low...

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    Give me such speaker and take my money or shut up :) In fact, I strongly suspect none exists, at any price level. At least none were measured with the Klippel NFS so far (check spinorama.org).

    Buchardt S400 Speaker Review

    Buchardt's have very slightly more bass extension and a bit less of directivity error in the crossover region. Otherwise these two speakers are rather similar. I would not bother trading between the two based on SQ only, unless you would also get some profit from it. S400 vs M106 Spinorama

    Alternative to Roon....

    Do you have DLNA server enabled in your Plex MS settings? It is disabled by default. Alternatively, you can use Plexamp as headless renderer if you can install it on you player. This uses native Plex protocol which supports gapless playback with crossfades and other goodies.

    Can anyone explain the vinyl renaissance?

    You put the candle on top of it. Then switch on the motor, roll your favorite, lean back, relax and enjoy the perfect CRI and scent.

    Can anyone explain the vinyl renaissance?

    Why people still buy candles? Certainly, not for purpose of lighting. Vinyl popularity has nothing to do with music reproduction at all, even if you can actually play vinyl records. I bet candle industry is even bigger today than LP industry. And no, I am not talking about your plain paraphin...

    WiiM Pro - Review & Measurements (Streamer)

    Is it just me or indeed UHD/HD toggle was removed from the Amazon Alexa Settings menu on WiiM Home app (Android) with the latest update? HD/UHD casting from the Amazon Music app seems to be working fine though, just as before (according to my DAC's display). I also noticed that EQ was enabled...

    Audible difference in high-end capacitors? - ABX samples

    I've just experienced a similar effect when re-installing my system recently. I moved and finally got my hands on setting up my stereo system at a new place. Initially, connected everything but the speakers (i.e. streamer, DAC, and the power amp) and what was my surprise when I accidentally...

    WiiM Mini Review (Streamer)

    That's exactly what @antcollinet was saying: as long as you have gain set in your amp/preamp to a level at which its noise is inaudible, it does not matter what amount of digital attenuation you apply to the input signal. The noise in the output will still be inaudible. Just as will be part of...

    I want to buy my first streamer but I have a couple of questions.

    You can buy WiiM Mini streamer (usually priced around $80) and connect it via Toslink optical input to your amp. Or you might go for a slightly more expensive WiiM Pro ($150) which adds S/PDIF coaxial output and wired Ethernet input. Both streamers have Spotify Connect and support plethora of...

    WiiM Pro Streamer

    Cold reboot fixed it to me. I mean, pull the USB power plug, wait for 15 seconds, reconnect.
