anybody?

Good catch!

I'm an Android/Windows guy, so AirPlay support doesn't matter to me one way or the other, but it's definitely a major concern for some.

I thought lack of Airplay on the Ultra would be an issue for me, but it isn’t. Using the WiiM app to remote control the Ultra has better sound quality anyway.

I use an external DAC with my WiiM Pro connected via optical cable.
Since my speakers a pretty sensitive I would like to lower the volume via the wiim Pro.
Would this affect the quality of the signal fed into the DAC? Let's say I reduce to about 80% - any reduction in resolution in the data delivered to the DAC?
Cheers

Can you hear the noise floor of your DAC? If not then any theoretical loss of resolution is inaudible in practice - whatever is lost is quieter than something you can't hear anyway.

I've just installed a Wiim Pro (non-Plus) to replace an Allo DigiOne Signature as my digital transport, coax-out into my Hegel H160. The software available for RPi-based digital transports has always been a bit hit-and-miss, and the final straw for me is that Librespot - the library that many of these products use to implement Spotify Connect - will not support Spotify Lossless. That's been confirmed and it's a legal/licensing issue, which seems unlikely to change.

I decided to switch to the WiiM because its suite of software is much better, and I'm only using the digital out anyway. I can't say I've noticed any audible difference on my system (Hegel + ProAc D20R). I would like to do a blind test, but that will have to wait for now.
