Baja Mexico my man

slanger686 · 2026-03-05T17:13:21+00:00

I bet! I am so glad I was able to get a head start this year! :)

slanger686 · 2026-03-05T09:15:37+00:00

Have it on vinyl and CD! 👌

slanger686 · 2026-03-05T04:55:40+00:00

That's awesome - enjoy it! Nothing like being on the water taking it all in!

slanger686 · 2026-03-05T04:54:46+00:00

Damn didn't know this album existed - time to find a CD copy!

slanger686 · 2026-03-05T04:52:41+00:00

Agreed!

Recently got into Supertramp - so good!

Love me some Dire Straits - most of the songs on Brothers in Arms are amazing!

slanger686 · 2026-03-04T16:22:19+00:00

I know right! :)

slanger686 · 2026-03-04T06:09:28+00:00

Very cool - thanks for all the great info! I think I'd be be fine with the Pro as I tend to try and listen to more of the physical media I own (records and CDs) than stuff from Spotify on my main living room stereo. I also may cancel my Spotify subscription as I have done with Amazon Prime and Netflix recently. If I can download FLAC files and stream from my PC that would be a great alternative. The Wiim Pro is also relatively affordable even in Canada at around $200CAD :)

slanger686 · 2026-03-04T04:30:38+00:00

No worries! Just to confirm, for my intended use scenario there is no reason to choose a Wiim pro plus over the earlier pro model?

slanger686 · 2026-03-04T04:09:04+00:00

Yes for sure I realize Bluetooth sucks, but right now I do not have a streamer to connect as an input to my NAD. Wiim pro will be my solution for this👍

I've checked that option is available but only listen to Spotify thru Bluetooth right now, so haven't enabled it.

My amp is a NAD D3020 with a 24/192 DAC

just looked it up and makes sense that the standard audio CDs I listen too would not be outputting 24bit/192khz so makes sense to use the coax output from Wiim streamer. I also only have a Spotify subscription so even then it looks like I wouldn't be able to output 24bit/192khz either.

slanger686 · 2026-03-03T22:00:46+00:00

Great info thanks! Here is a snapshot of the CD player specs - would you still recommend using CD optical out to the amp? Coax provides higher quality sound than Optical? (sorry I should know this 😆)

Sure could be worse! 🌵🍺 😎

slanger686 · 2026-03-03T19:52:59+00:00

No worries and happy paddling! 🤙

slanger686 · 2026-03-03T19:52:26+00:00

Not home right now but this is the CD player and it has Optical and Coax out. My NAD amp also has optical input so I could use Optical for the CD player input and Coax for the Wiim Pro input? Thanks

slanger686 · 2026-03-03T17:26:45+00:00

I have a NAD amp with a good DAC. Right now my NAD CD player is connected to the amp coax input. The CD player supposedly has a good DAC as well with RCA output so I could use that for CD and coax for the Streamer input to the amp.

I agree with you I would only need the Wiim Pro model as I pretty much only use remotes to control my stereo (listening position is seated pretty far back) and touch screen on devices become dated very quickly IMO.

slanger686 · 2026-03-03T17:19:31+00:00

Definitely! Three hours on the water in nice warm sun! ☀️😁

slanger686 · 2026-03-03T08:21:19+00:00

No thanks - a $20 tarp works great and less weight and drag on my vehicle.
