something other than raspberry with built in app.

Don't think that little Wiim is capable of it so scanning for alternatives :)

Accept or pass-through unadulterated? Plenty can accept it on the input side. Wiim says it can output it "It supports up to 192kHz, 24-bit audio output that's the same as an artists recoding in the studio.The integrated TI stereo DAC provides the high quality analog audio output with the 106-dB SNR, dynamic range and -92dB THD+N performance. provides high. " Provides high? Even better!

Output yes..
Didn't know the Wiim cd do it. If so then no brainer.
Was also looking at the Omnia mini for around 300 euro, wd prefer cheaper alternative

Wow ok. This is output to external dac?
As far as I know, there was a well reported firmware update to provide bit-perfect pass-through up to 24/192 for the digital output. Haven't got one myself, would have if it was released before the much more expensive iFi Zen Stream.

Yes, there are a couple of threads about WiiM when you can confirm that is capable to pass up to 24 bits / 192 kHz bit perfect content to an external DAC.

Denon HEOS Link HS2. I found a second-hand one for around US$200.

Another vote for the Wiim. Optical out into a DAC and it’s as good as it gets, excellent app, and excellent support. Very happy for less than a C note.
