I finally broke down and bought a Wiim that is on the way (Prefer wired connections for core systems). I hated the HEOS interface on the phone and TV after and was spoiled using Sonos the last several years, especially on my NAS where “primitive” would be a compliment for HEOS.
Currently I am testing a refurbished Marantz NR1200 which has HDMI input so I can stream from my Apple TV, including using Plex which gives me a rich interface for my FLAC files on the NAS. I want to be able to use the TV and system remotes without having to use my phone every time if possible.
Questions:
1. Is there degradation using HDMI as an audio stream?
2. How is the NAS interface on the Wiim? Richer than HEOS and MusicCast?
3. Does Roon provide a richer NAS interface?
4. Any other viable alternatives?
Pax,
