Good morning.
I need your help to find some propper informations and answers.
I have two vintages hifi racks.
I use a WIIM Pro Plus on my main rig,

My second has atm only a record and cd player connected.
I have a spare ifi Zen DAC V1 which I dont use anymore with my PC.

I connect the ifi ZEN DAC to the second rig and use my old Samsung S10+ as streamer into the ifi. Problem is that I have to charge the cellphone wireless while playing cause the ifi has no own power supply ( a seperate is stupid cause the ifi would be permanently powerd on, as it has no on/off switch)

Questions:
  1. Is there an inexpensive good streamer with usb output to feed the ifi?
  2. is a second WIIM Pro Plus the better option?
  3. Alternatives to WIIM Pro Plus for the main rig and use the WIIM for the second rig
  4. a different good streamer/dac which can feed both rigs?

Thank you
