i a hoping to use the wiim app on my phone or ipad to control the music using it almost like a remote control. My issue currently is the only way i can play music from the mac is to screen share from another device and use itunes on the mac mini which is painful. So just checking ive got this...

Thanks team, currently i have to screen share to the mac from my laptop and play the music via itunes which is a mission. From what you are saying it sounds like i can DLNA from the mac to the wiim and be able to control my library on the mac via the home app all without a loss of sound...

sounds like a server would be the easiest option as I don't have an app on the mac that controls playback.

One more question, hopefully this should be the last one :-( I assume there would be an option to link the mac to the WiiM via ethernet cable? I'm a bit unsure of how to connect the two as i am probably still old school and think that a physical connection between devices is better that Wi-Fi...

Thanks any, I do run Plex on the Mac mini too so will the Wiim see the Plex server during setup? also I didn’t think the Wiim had usb in So how would you connect a usb drive?

Looking at pulling the trigger on a pro plus. Quick question, has anyone got one hooked up to a mac mini? if so how does that work and does the Wiim see the music files stored on your mac?

I can’t see a review for that model on the forum?

Hi Team, I previously asked some advice about a replacement DAC for my dying Beresford DAC. I have done some research and thinking about adding a music streaming device to my set up which might look like: Mac Mini -> node 2 - > Topping DX5 -> Naim 5i amp. Reason for this setup is that I have...

Actually I'm not even sure what the Bluetooth on a dac does! :facepalm:

is it this one? does it have bluetooth ? https://addictedtoaudio.co.nz/products/topping-e30ii-dac I am in NZ so range of dacs is ore limited.

appreciate the help guys, I think looking through the reviews, I a going to move fro optical to usb. does the site have recommendations on cables or are they all much the same?

i know i must be missing something but all i can see under the reviews is the ability to search by name? my issue being that im not sure what brands to search on? definately not seeing the blue & green chart sections

im currently connecting via optical digital out from the mac

the beresford is slowly dying hence the replacement. i wouldnt just replace like for like with another one as it appears that there are better options out there accoustically

its been years since i looked at my setup so i guess i want to make sure im getting the best sound possible. i wont be using the dac for headphones just for converting digital files on the mac mini. i dont recall dacs coming with bluetooth capablity when i looked 10 years ago but that might be...

silly question but i assume using the dac with the naim amp means that the dac amp isnt necessary? edit - checked that the 5i is integrated amp so i guess i dont need a pre amp dac?

ps i dont have a lot of cash to throw at this so probably go some something entry or mid range

Hi Team, First post so please be kind ;-) I am looking to update my current dac and have no clue on where to start. i am currently running: - apple mac mini as a media server - into an old beresford dac - to Naim 5i - to some classic kef speakers I really want to change up the dac for...
