streamer suggestion

[Abdo]

Good morning, I have a Wiim Ultra and a Cambridge V100.
Now I need a streamer for another house of mine that is similar to the Wiim Ultra but has Airplay 2.
What would be the best recommendation or solution? What do you recommend?

WiiM has plenty of other models that support AirPlay 2… choose the one that suits your needs.

 

[Abdo]

yes but I wanted something with LCD...

Cambridge Audio CXN100. You pay quite a bit extra for having the LCD, but maybe it's worth it...

I also thought about the new Eversolo Play, but I'm not sure. The Wiim Ultra is very good, it just lacks Airplay and it costs half the price.

I'm not sure the Eversolo has Airplay 2 either

WiiM Mini paired to an Ultra

Or a WiiM Mini / Pro driven by a small tablet.

We probably won't find a single solution with LCD phono airplay 2 all in 1 with good quality. Maybe it's the Wiim Ultra with the Mini... which would even be cheap. Oh yes, I forgot a detail that works with Roon... I'm still accepting suggestions even if it's a little more expensive.

Node Icon? Twice the price of a WiiM solution but looks pretty nice

Compared the Wiim Ultra to the CXN100 recently and ultimately decided to keep the Cambridge and return the Wiim. To my ear I found the CXN100 to be noticeably superior overall. Midrange definition was clear. The Wiim had a superior EQ (More selections) and bass was more enjoyable out of the box, however with a little tinkering the CXN quickly outpaced the Wiim.

EDIT - Let me state the Wiim is still an excellent device. Just reiterating that I feel the $700 ish price gap for me was worth the upgrade for the detail I received.

Midrange definition yes.. you realise a digital signal is just a variable voltage, above or below a designated threshold?
