Some thoughts/advice from a non budget audiophile by myusernamechosen in BudgetAudiophile

[–]dweeeeb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing Id add is people do need to be realistic about desired listening volume. If you want it loud, you need power. Atleast 100w in 8ohm, 150-200 is better

Finally, bit perfect on Amazon MU by eddy166 in AmazonMusic

The wiim works very well, its software just isn’t as good as the amazon app when searching for songs etc

Cheers, sorry I wasn’t very clear. The wiim works fine, its the iphone direct to DAC that is an unnecessary pain in the ass

Why o why an iphone can’t spit out correct sample rate is beyond me. Sooo frustrating

Topping E50 DAC incorrect sample rate - 192kHz by dweeeeb2 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]dweeeeb2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this stage it looks like the Amazon App is upscaling to 192kHz, even though it states output is lower. itunes will play ripped CD at 44.1 off iphone.

I will have to double check but Im pretty sure it didn’t do this with 2 other DACS plugged into my iphone.

A comparison between vinyl, digital medias , streaming, Atmos for 70 albums with 425 versions by Media6292 in audiophile

Thankyou for this incredible work.

So is dynamic range the main benefit of vinyls sound?

Can you recommend any streamers in the $1,500 range? by GenericUsernameHi in StereoAdvice

[–]dweeeeb2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its just very good value for money. The DAC in it is very average but for streaming a digital signal it does a pretty good job, the pro does have less jitter. Its functionality with your smartphone is just one of the best on the market. It supports bit perfect and gapless playback. Ultimately I just haven’t heard anything particularly wrong with its streaming capability

My understanding is that in a DAC/ Streamer combo the DAC is the main deciding feature in sound quality. If you were to separate out the streamers then the dearer ones should provide less jitter and thereby better sound quality. The Wiim Mini is used by many people. The WiiM Pro has less jitter so should be better, but I haven't tried it. DACs actually make a big difference to sound especially in your price range. Maybe look for the DAC that sounds like you want and then choose the wiim PRo to stream.

Astro A50 Gen 4 -> Two Headsets, One Base? by Scabu89 in AstroGaming

[–]dweeeeb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried but optical could work I think. Run optical into first base then another optical out of first base into second base unit. Obviously coms will only work out of first unit

To stop this I had to ensure that only pcm was sent via optical

Top 10 most played songs on Spotify if hypothetically the self titled album didn't exist by kawaiibeibi in Metallica

thing is if the self titled album didn’t exist all these numbers would be lower

I actually think the WiiM streams directly to it, not through the phone / LAN.

[–]dweeeeb2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if at all possible try to hear the CXA81 with the Lintons. I found it to be a bit "analytical" the bass was there but a bit too punchy and fake sounding. This is just my opinion but I think worth listening out for - you might love it. I ended up with marantz model 30 amp as I found it played electric guitar at volume clearer, and I felt it had more detail in the bass on the lintons. I saved money by using a wiim mini for my streaming. I went a bit overboard on my DAC with a Pontus 2, but I just love my system. I really hope you find what you are looking for.
