WiiM Mini Streamer

[thibodeaux]

Well, my wife calls it "playing on the computer", so...

I was asking because I was curious whether adding support for Amazon Music was possible.

Yes and no. Allmusic does have SOME albums with the "Play to Amazon" button, which will open the Amazon Music app on your 'puter, which could be, of course, pointed to the WiiM. Clunky, but workable. As far as getting access to the Amazon Music API to dupe what I've done with the Tidal/Qobuz/Deezer APIs - a big NO for us mere mortals, sadly.

apple classical music has been, for a few days
available in my country..
an alternative to qoobuz?
is it available via mini or pro? is with what format (alac?)?
(i can measure "in audio a wiim" etc .. I know nothing about streaming ( which interests not really) , computer etc
hihi
)
sorry
and
thank you
;-)

I may be wrong, but I see it as a classical adjunct to Apple Music (while acknowledging its origins in PrimePhonic iirc) so I suspect it’ll be very much like Apple Music when it comes to WiiM I.e. you’ll be able to use Airplay and its inconsistencies (e.g. potential conversion to AAC) but you’ll not get a native implementation any time soon due to Apple being a tough nut to crack

 

[morillon]

but they point to possible hq formats....( alac ) etc
in the world of classical necessarily seem interresting
which hardware solution currently allows it?

Yeah, of course they‘d mention HQ as they do with Apple Music, but the means of playing that outside Apple hardware (and even on some apple hardware) is almost non existant. As I say, I see it as a variation of Apple Music and all that entails

I will probably need more qoobuz in my case.. but I ended up really telling myself that deezer and its 44/16 flac offer still has the quality of being constant, reliable and not too "smoky".
in view of the thousands of perpetual questions concerning the other services and the " blabla "that accompanies them..
deezer is simply ok now with wiih home..modeste..but ok..
(and I'm talking about the mqa and the fact that the hq formats will only concern a few percent of the catalogs and therefore almost nothing that will really concern me...the "law of sets"
etc etc and ecological impacts for some things that people not really heard(
it is in fact very different from the video)! but it sells...)

Qobuz integration -- Qobuz Connect?

I like to use the native applications Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz etc to do my streaming and using the 'connect' feature from the apps where the WiiM device then connects to the service for playing at the right resolution. Is there any chance we could change the Qobuz experience to that? This would...

Assuming you mean the Addict podcast player, it supports Chromecast, as does the WiiM Pro, but not the Mini. You'll need the WiiM Pro.

I could use some help.

My set up: Tidal Plus—> WiiM Mini,—(optical)-> Audiolab 7000a

I wonder why my streams are limited to 96kHz. My Wiim App and my Amp/DAC say 96kHz. I am using a 192kHz playlist from Tidal, MQA is activated, output is set to 192kHz on my WiiM, and my DAC should be able to process 192kHz.

Would appreciate some help here, I am very new to the topic.

WiiM can unfold the MQA stream up to 96 kHz, no more.

Thanks. But how do I then understand this?

And, if some would explain to me, how I have to understand "MQA Capabilities", I'd really appreciate it.

It's for the DAC which can perform further unfolds if it's a renderer or it can perform all the unfolds itself if it works as a decoder.

Those mentioned "MQA Capabilities" in the app are not clear for me.

 

[lanidx]

Okay. . After a reboot it appears to work.

The Wiim App shows 48kHz only. I guess it’s a bug.

WiiM app shows the source sample rate if MQA has been disabled or the audio stream does not come from Tidal Connect.
Your 7000A is a full MQA decoder so you do not need any MQA processing on the WiiM side.

To sum it up for anyone running into the same issue.

In order to get MQA 192kHz streams with the Audiolab, I have my WiiM Mini set to: MQA (Beta): activated, and MQA Capabilities set to: Decoder and render.

://edit: Or, alternatively, you deactivate MQA, turn off the EQ, and activate fixed volume. (see the following posts)

What happens if you disable MQA on the WiiM? I assume you don't use the EQ and the volume is fixed / set to 100 %.
