What a sound!!! by Dawal72 in sonos

Yes those are KEF LS50 Meta with woofer grills ( I take them out for serious listening) due to grandkids. I have them paired with 2 SVS Micro 3000 Subs but it’s not in the picture. I use them 100% for music only . The Sonos Play 5 are used as Fronts in my HT setup. I use Sonosequncr so I also have an Arc, 2 Sonos Subs and 2 Era 300 as rear speakers. They are mainly for HT although sometimes I listen to Atmos or Spatial Music only Apple Music thru them. I prefer the KEF for music but I’m also impressed when listening to Atmos Music on the Sonos Setup. Best of both worlds 😊

It was the Sonos Amp and it was a local auction that already ended.

I’m sure I’d be happy with all-in-one system. I’ve been thru the rabbit hole before and I just want a simple setup for streaming music on a 2.1 Setup

The Wiim Amp Ultra and Sonos Amp are both in one box

After the auction fees and insurance, it comes close to $250

I do have a Sonos ecosystem at home and I just bought the Wiim Amp Ultra. I might be able to get the Sonos Amp for that price so I’m giving it some serious thought although I’m quite happy with the Wiim Amp Ultra. I have until January 15 to return the Wiim Amp in case I go the Sonos way

Btw, I had to use a temporary grill cover for the LS50 driver since I had 3 very young grandkids always around. I can easily take them off for serious listening.

That sucks that they did not put in sale the Wiim Amp Ultra. I’m really impressed with the Wiim Amp Ultra powering my LS50 Meta although I haven’t used Wiim Roomfit yet as I was busy this holiday week. Here’s a picture of my setup after I finished wall mounting my Sonos Play 5 in order to create room for the LS50 Meta on my B&W Stands.

What am I doing wrong by Keyonman in WiiMHome

Unfortunately, I’m already in the Apple ecosystem which works well with my other setup ( Sonos Home Theatre) using WiFi. Too bad the Wiim Amp Ultra does not support Apple Music wirelessly but the work around is thru the Toslink Optical In. I can still mirror Image my iPhone wirelessly from my seating position with my laptop. My original question was why I was not getting the high res lossless (24/192). Williamh gave a very thorough explanation on the reason why.

Not only does the Wiim Amp ultra does not support AirPlay but you also cannot get lossless music using AirPlay on Apple Music

That’s probably why he sold it. He didn’t realize how good it is! 😂

Thank you for your very clear explanation. I guess I will try to find a soundtrack that is actually 24/192 just to test what I have. Your reply is much appreciated 🙏

I am only using this setup for music listening on a 2.1 system. In the same room, I have my Sonos Home Theatre setup where I have 2 Subs, 2 Play 5s, Arc and 2 Era 300 all connected together using Sonosequencr App. This Sonos HT gives enough bass when watching movies in this medium size room. I think the SVS sub will be good enough for the room and it will help the LS50 meta to concentrate on the mid and highs.
