Many thanks for this Bill. I didnt find this when searching but it mentions my player and a £15 cost for the remote. Seems por economy to buy it and only use it once, its a shame that someone doesnt offer a rental service for the remote!!

Hi all. I'm have a decent Sony TV, HDR, Dolby etc but when watching older programmes i cant find anywhere that streams them so am forced to buy Blu Ray and DVD still. My blu ray plyer is a Sony BDP S360. I Want to purchase an old box set WKRP Cincinnati which as far as i can see is a region 1...

The mini has been purchased and will be set up over the weekend. I do have a couple of questions tho. Ive looked and seen that there is wifi in and aux in. Presumably there is something in the settings to say which you want to listen to. If thats the case then i presume i could attach a DAB...

I've seem ppl mentioning the radio paradise app, what is that please? Is it a radio streamer, suspect it is!!

Thanks for all the advice. Having looked at my needs ive decided to go for the mini on the basis if i want something better down the line i can either get a better external DAC or sell it for £40. I do have a couple more questions tho. It doesnt come with a plub and uses a USB connection to...

So the ultra isnt airplay and i have a iphone. Presume this means that i cant stream music held on my iphone to it like i could with the AEX where i simply chose on the phone which output to use. To stream say spotify to the device ive got to use either the spotify app or the native Wiim app...

I’ve just watched the ultra review. I can plug the streamer into my router and have it wired. The advantage of the mini is that I can put it on the floor instead of using space on my rack and having to move the ornaments by wife has on the top shelf!! I presume I could plug in a superior DAC...

Thanks. Will the sound quality be so much better than if i buy the Wiim mini which is less than half the price?

Hi all. I currently have a Naim 5si amp and CD combo with Kudos X2 floorstanding speakers and am thoroughly happy with the sound. I've been streaming with an apple airport express without an external DAC but this has now died and i would like a replacement. I was streaming directly from my...

Thanks. I’m not likely to change my mind but do value good customer service. That’s why of course you said buy it online. I’ve got a John Lewis price match in but richer sounds say supplies are erratic but I’m not paying £950 today for something that was £850 yesterday.

I’m buying the Sony xh9505. Happy to buy online and if you don’t mind may I ask you your reasons?

Well i'm now ready to buy my new TV. Normally if the prices were the same i would go to John Lewis, then Currys then Richer sounds. Not for any real reason based on previous experience just perceived customer service. The first two have taken the TV out of the sale and it is £100 more now. At...

Thats a good call although if i could get away with one box i would. I remember seeing a wireless arcam dac years ago that would do the streaming but wondered if it could handle the TV as well. The two box option is perfectl feasible.

Sorry meant x2 not k2. They are fine, no problems with low volume. They are recommended with naim on their forum and i love them. Well built and small. Mine are close to the wall without any problems, there is a downwards port for the bass. Tested these against the small floor speakers which...

No optical in sadly. Also naim.
