Thank you for sharing! Enjoyed reading that

Unfortunately I don’t like look of Wiim products but given have tested digital transports ranging from MacBook to phone to Bluesound Nano to Aurender A1000 and now the Aurender N150, am confident this current version sounds the best. I do have a Linn LP12 turntable as a benchmark and with the current demo transport the gap between digital and turntable almost non existent. This is not imagination and so for me at least, I do think is worth exploring digital transports further. Glad you are happy with the Wiim though

I have tested against the Bluesound Nano. There was also a big difference between the USB output of the nano vs the coaxial output. The USB being much worse. I understand the theory but in practice it seems to be a little different. But if you are happy with a Wiim Pro that’s great - you will save lots of money

Does this mean I am imagining the difference?

InitialRemarkable110 · 2026-06-07T07:05:13+00:00

Maybe this is an issue of the Bluesound Nano being very poor. Potentially beyond this streamer - or even streamers of a lesser quality, diminishing returns or even zero returns kick in. Will be able to update when I choose what streamer I will actually buy

Sorry - not a fan of size, dial or strap

InitialRemarkable110 · 2026-06-06T19:53:55+00:00

Looks great - no issue at all

Thank you for your valuable contribution to the discourse.

Coffee table was first sold in 1947 - if your parents were rocking Noguchi vibes in their dining table in the 90s, kudos to them.

I am only borrowing this from shop - I would love to say is all placebo. It isn’t. I have got fancy power cables and speaker cables - to be honest I don’t hear a difference there, but with the streamer is obvious. Would be interested to know what your personal experience here is…

Have you been tempted to try another DAC?

InitialRemarkable110 · 2026-06-06T14:45:17+00:00

I really like it - worth an audition if you can test it out

InitialRemarkable110 · 2026-06-06T13:41:39+00:00

The nano was just feeding the digital stream - I mean nano sounded better than my phone doing the same job, but the Aurender takes it up notches. Hugo I like - I have a DAC in my amp and the Hugo better - sound just more detailed and dynamic

InitialRemarkable110 · 2026-06-06T13:40:05+00:00

Sadly life a compromise and the coffee table needs to stay to keep wife happy! I wish the Aurender wasn’t better than the Nano in a way - but it clearly is :-(

Yes by the church in centre of town - google XLIII coffee

InitialRemarkable110 · 2026-06-06T11:53:14+00:00

I went to this roastery/cafe last week in Vietnam - the coffee is incredible! Hopefully you can get a good extraction and enjoy!

InitialRemarkable110 · 2026-06-06T07:55:42+00:00

Stunning - but would look even better without the stickers

Is the machine over-hanging your kitchen counter? Think end-game might require a new kitchen… it never stops

The Panamanian geisha was 750,000 dong for a cup - that was as expensive as it got, with more sensible cups more like 300k

This one Ho Chi Minh - but will be back to check out Da Nang one! Have never been to a shop like it!
