    What Hi-Fi? Awards 2023: budget brilliance shakes up the music streamer category

    “Who saw the WiiM Pro Plus coming?” Evidently most people except you guys. Any if you’ve got a half decent DAC you don’t need the Pro Plus version.

    To DAC or not to DAC.....

    How come you spent £400 on it? If you just wanted one with multiple inputs they can be had for far less.

    Why not WAV?

    It can be played on pretty much every platform: Windows, Linux, Android, even iOS (search for free app OPlayer) and Cowon MP3 players, plus some others. How many iTunes users buy ALAC?

    Why not WAV?

    FLAC is THE standard, and more people care about it than any other lossless format. I'm sure Apple are deleriously happy with their position, but do you think powerful companies who create needless and incompatible equivalents of accepted standards solely for their own financial gain and...

    sony46ex503

    I saw the KDL-46EX503 in House of Fraser last night. It was showing Pirates of the Caribbean. I was ready to buy it having read the WHF review. I can't say I was blown away by it but that could be down to HoF's multi display setup. I then went to Richer Sounds. They had one in stock but...

    Small wall mountable centre speaker

    The fronts (B&W DM603 S2) are powered by 2 x Rotel RB-981 power amps (using the pre-outs on the 2400ES), so the sub is just handling the sub-bass.

    Small wall mountable centre speaker

    It was the Alumni 5 centre I saw... When I say "small" it's the depth that's important, I don't want it sticking out too far from the wall, not too much further than the screen.

    Small wall mountable centre speaker

    I've moved house and my new place has preparations for wall mounting my screen. I currently have a B&W CC6 S2 centre speaker which is too big to wall mount. I'm looking for something smaller but still half decent if such a speaker exists. I've seen a Mordaunt Short in Richer Sounds which was...

    Sony DA2400ES replacement unit = same problem!

    Does your centre speaker has 2 lots of inputs for biwiring? If so, there should be 2 joiners so that you can only use 1 set of inputs when not biwiring... make sure the joiners are properly connecting.

    Help! Skipping on ripped CDs

    Try using EAC or Audiograbber. Google them, both free downloads. They can generate a checksum which can be used to be verify you've got a bit perfect rip. Personally I wouldn't go near Windows Media Player. If you're still having problems it might be your CDROM drive or dirty/damaged CD. Also...
