Hi.
I have two DACs, both without display of Sample Rate/Bit Depth.
What is the cheapest solution to add such display to the toslink output of the Wiim Mini?
TIA.
There's a neat thread on creating your own display, slightly techie but there is plenty of help: WiiM Display (python app)Hi.

Thank you.I wouldn't worry about the bit depth too much.
Sample rate is more interesting to check if there is resampling happening.
If incoming sample rate matches the source, I highly doubt your source will be reducing 24 bits to 16 bits. I've never seen that.
This is a good DAC:
SMSL D-6 DAC Review
This is a review and detailed measurements of the SMSL D-6 balanced stereo DAC with Bluetooth. It was sent to be by Shenzhenaudio and costs US $169.99. I like the compact enclosure even though there is a built-in power supply and balanced outputs. Included volume control lets you bypass a...www.audiosciencereview.com

in first,Thank you.
I'm not interested in changing my DACs: one of them, for example, is an Audio Research worth 5000 Euros.
I am interested only in verifying the toslink output of streamers, such as the Wiim, for comparison purposes.
What is the cheapest device that can display Sample Rate/Bit Depth ?
Thank you.The WIIM app will show you the stream info. The WIIM will output what's coming in. It doesn't change the incoming stream.
The DAC.would the dac dictate sound quality
If you buy an RME ADI-2 FS Pro, it has optical input and optical output.Thank you.
I know that, but nevertheless I would like to verify it with some kind of hardware meter.
Thank you.in first,
it is the nature of the toslink of the a-r and its ability or not to receive more than 96k which is interesting...
after 96k 24 bits it's already more than enough and the wiim will reformat in 96k from 192k if necessary...
(from local files of known resolution and by playing on the settings available on the wiim app.. it is easy to check, the ""toslink"" of the wiim is ok at 192k)
What about some cheap DAC to use only for metering and then put apart?If you buy an RME ADI-2 FS Pro, it has optical input and optical output.
It can sit between your streamer and your Audio Research $5k DAC.
And the screen will tell you both the bit depth and sample rate.
You can even use it's headphone amp if you like, otherwise it is a very expensive meter.
No, if I knew one cheaper I would have mentioned it in my first replyWhat about some cheap DAC to use only for metering and then put apart?
Do you know a very cheap DAC which displays both the bit depth and sample rate?
I would use it just like a tester.
What about SMSL Sanskrit 10th MKII ?No, if I knew one cheaper I would have mentioned it in my first reply
I mentioned bit depth is not that important. In which case, I already linked you to a cheap DAC that shows sample rate.
It's a good DAC too that you can use in a different system or give to a friend/family
Yeh that's fine too.What about SMSL Sanskrit 10th MKII ?
At the moment is about 120 Euros on Amazon.
Only sample rate display, though...

I don't get any stream info at all in the app. As far as i know I'm up-to-date.The WIIM app will show you the stream info. The WIIM will output what's coming in. It doesn't change the incoming stream.
