There seems a hidden bias against inexpensive gear among folks who just know that good stuff just must be costly.
I suppose if I had paid $2999 for a streamer last year, I'd resent it if somebody sold one that works digitally just as well for $89. And since the WiiM doesn't have a milled front panel, an OLED touchscreen, XLR cables** or big blue meters, where are the brag rights?
However, my two WiiMs both sit under cover, velcroed to the undersides of shelves... just streaming CD or better* controlled from my phone. And I am not queer for Roon or MQA. I use very good speakers, well placed and better than my hearing, and more SOTA modern hi-res 24/192k audio is better than MQA.
*24/192k if not synced with each other, and where the streaming service provides it.
**Really, like I need balanced audio for a 1/2 meter cable?
