+1 looking for the same. I'm gonna mess around with Dirac Live for MacOS as well. It's not free, but they give you a 14-day trial. Here's more info: https://confluence.dirac.services/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=142843074 I'm gonna try it this weekend

I had a similar requirement. The whole thing I wanted to solve for was allowing my wife and kids to listen to either our turntable or streaming music (via Wiim), without having to switching inputs. Speakers are Genelec G Four, and they would be a long-ish run, so I'm using XLR cables. I couldn't...

Great! Thanks for the update. Looking forward to mine arriving soon :)

Blue Jeans will do this for you as well. Very reasonable prices. High quality.

So I've got my Wiim setup for 192 kHz/24-bit resolution. I stream Apple Music via Airplay 2 from my phone (or from a HomePod) to the Wiim, which then does optical out to my Topping D30 Pro. The Topping does display sampling rate. I can share what displays there, but I'm not sure if that would...

That's awesome! Looking forward to mine arriving.... in May :( I would normally cancel and grab off Amazon like you, but I got a roughly 20% discount on it, and I can certainly survive waiting a few more months.

Wow. Nice roadmap. These guys are serious about their product. Such a steal at $99. I have had zero issues with mine.

To clarify, I never used Wiim's own internal DAC. I've only used the Wiim via optical out to a Topping D30 Pro (with an ML Unison in the middle, all in the digital domain). However, I did use the Node 2is internal DAC, and did not notice an audible difference. But this is my ears only--I'm sure...

External DAC - Topping D30 Pro. I honestly don't think there is a noticeable difference. I had the Node doing RCA out to my speakers, also did optical out to a MiniDSP. I think the only audible difference (to me) is when I turned Dirac on. I don't recall any noticeable difference between Wiim...

I returned my node 2i for the Wiim. The main reason was I was having issues with network connectivity, which I didn't have with the Wiim. However, it turned out to be my router as I had similar issues with other devices. But even still, I didn't need a lot of the other features of the Node, and...

Agreed. I think if you've got MM only, probably not worth it. It does have some nice features--balanced XLR, switches on the front for MM/MC, rumble filter, and mono/stereo. It also has a 40/50 dB switch for MM, which I actually use and set to 50dB (can explain more if you really wanna know). If...

Yep, this is where I've landed! Unfortunately the place I ordered from is backordered until May, so I'm just going to go with the cheap $89 Pro-Ject Phono Box to hold me over til then.

And it does have optical out, which I use for a similar use case as yours via minidsp.

I have this. No Amazon required. I use a HomePod to control the Wiim by voice.

I would go with a Wiim Mini ($99) with balanced DAC of your choice. I'm running with a Wiim Mini + Topping D30Pro, which is about $500 all in. I have the balanced out going to a pair of Genelecs.

Yes, I'm liking it so far. That's the one that's actually still plugged in amongst these 4! I think it also has the best SNR of the bunch.

Thanks! Let me see if I can update the title/listing. Much appreciated the flag

I purchased this from my local Hifi shop just a week ago. It is 100% in working order, but I'm looking for something with balanced outputs. This comes with the PSU1 power supply. Specs: Phono connectors: Heavy Gold Plated Input sensitivity: 2mV - 9mV Gain: 42dB Input impedance: 47k and...

OK, this is all amazing information! Super insightful. So basically, at this point, don't waste money on the phono stage as it's not the bottleneck/limiting factor. Money would be better spent more upstream... If I can recoup my money on the Slee, sounds like an iFi Zen Phono + AT 740 would be a...

Interesting. I think you've sent me down another rabbit hole... This TT came with the Sumiko Rainier, which seems to be decent. I hear the Ortofon 2M Black is one of the better MM cartridges you can get, but not sure yet if I'm ready to go down that route yet.
