I'm lead to believe that the SMSL has a better clocking circuit than the Ultra.

I've just noticed that the only Intput on the SMSL is the USB and the other connections (Coaxial, HDMI and Optical) are all Outputs.

When you say spdif from the Ultra to the SMSL, you mean optical? Also, what output do you then use? Coaxial?

I tried the SMSL (USB from the Wiim Ultra to the SMSL and then optical to the amp) and I honestly found that the RCA out direct to tha amp sounded better.

I'll try this and see if I can hear a difference. Chances are that, with my ears, I won't..

I need to learn how to trust my own judgement instead of being influenced by the idea that something different will be better than what I already have.

I was convinced by Youtube to try the SMSL PO100PRO inbetween the Wiim Ultra and my Cambridge CXA81. Anybody have experience with this?

I guess I didn't phrase that properly. Which output uses the internal DAC and which output uses the amp's DAC?

Morning all, Got myself a Wiim Ultra over the weekend and am wondering about the DAC situation. As I understand it, dependent on which output you use, it uses either the internal DAC or the external one/the on in the amp. Is this correct and if so, which is best? The amp's DAC or the Wiim's DAC?

So the Wiim Ultra can serve as a steamer only connected to my CXA81 amp?

I'm hesitating between a Wiim Ultra, the Cambridge Audio MXN10 and a second hand Cambridge Audio CXN V2. Any thoughts?

So the signal from the phone is lower quality than a streamer being connected directly to the Wifi?

So what's the difference between listening to Spotify via the bluetooth on my Cambridge Audio CXA81 amp and a Cambridge audio MXN10 streamer?

I listen to Spotify via the app on my smartTV that's plugged into my amp. Can't tell the difference to be honest.

Some belts are easier to access than others. Some of the high end decks take a bit of know-how.
