Toslink jitter will be a non issue with any competent DAC. The only difference, likely inaudible, might be the ability of the coax to handle resolution greater than 192..Are there any audible differences between using TOSlink (Mini) vs coaxial (Pro)?
I’ve heard of “jitter” problems with optical, but what does that sound like?
Unless you are sending it to an incompetent dac it doesn’t sound like anything. even if you are it most likely still doesn’t sound like anything.Are there any audible differences between using TOSlink (Mini) vs coaxial (Pro)?

Well, Patek watch will not measure the time better than Casio. But yes, you will find people who say that WiiM's SQ is worse than X, Y or Z.My Topping DAC is certainly competent. I believe my problem is that I cannot quite accept the Mini as real… as in, “too good to be true”, and that I should have spent a lot more than $100! The damn thing is so practical and functional, I figure something has to be wrong with the sound quality…

From my perspective you will get exactly the same audio quality over toslink from WiiM to your DAC as with any other bit-perfect capable transport. As long as you stay away of EQ in the WiiM.I had to look up your reference to “Patek”… #HAHA
How much worse could it be? I’m only using it to stream PCM (even if I do wish it were USB)…
On another note regarding functionality: Once installed and configured (via WiiM app and Bluetooth) for using other player apps and pointing them at the WiiM output device, I don’t any longer have to use Bluetooth. JRemote simply and transparently works, short of a small delay for the 1st track.
New FW update, 4.6.503558.
I had the same issues. I would avoid this firmware version.Well that's worked like a POS .... Every 5 minutes it goes silent, the slider bar in Amazon on my tablet is still going across, I have to stop casting and then start casting again ... totally unusable in it's current state.
Whilst I appreciate they're doing their best to improve it at least F**&&g test it adequately before new FM updates ar released.
Some people don't mind being the guinea pig / tester but the majority have no f....g interest what so ever and just want it to work.
People say ....s end them a ticket .... I'm sorry I have better things to do with my life than keep sending them tickets.
Haven't noticed but I simply didn't listen to AM today.Well that's worked like a POS .... Every 5 minutes it goes silent, the slider bar in Amazon on my tablet is still going across, I have to stop casting and then start casting again ... totally unusable in it's current state.

Did you get release note on 3558?
They skip many features that supposed to be release based on roadmap 12/19 and 12/31.
1. As mentioned, many times before, their roadmap is kinda like a wish list. There's no guarantee.They skip many features that supposed to be release based on roadmap 12/19 and 12/31.
I am experiencing no issues listening to complete albums on AMHD.
Only one thing left to do...24 hrs later and having rebooted and it's stopped doing it .... no idea what it was.
Much of this frustration should go to Amazon since this kind of things happen periodically on all of my Amazon devices, not just WiiM. Amazon seems to upgrade the API on their servers and then let them stay out of sync, breaking havoc for the Alexa clients. I guess with such a massive infrustructure some level of instability is expected but it can be really annoying at times.Well that's worked like a POS ....

Expected yes, but that is only because they choose to allow instability — it is not "inevitable". There are incredibly large, complex infrastructures that dwarf the size of Amazon Music yet deliver close to (or above) five 9's for decades on end.I guess with such a massive infrustructure some level of instability is expected but it can be really annoying at times.
