Thanks for your feedback! I would sure hope the RME DPS-2 power supply makes an audible difference, given its price point... I'm not ready to invest in this just now, but I'll keep this in mind for a future option :)

I like that one too!

Nice!

I completely agree! As mentioned in an earlier post, my main reason for changing to a new streamer was not primarily related to a sound quality improvement, but rather to resolve a software issue and overall user experience, and my feedback, is only an indication of my first impression... Thanks...

I'm not sure if my NAS issue is with the app, or with the WD Mycloud NAS that has limited functionalities, that may be causing my libary scanning issue. Hopefully, the WiiM support team will shed some light. However, the (poor) Windows app does allow me to scan my library, so I think this is an...

Great choices! With jazz, I have been particularly impressed by the last few albums from Avishai Cohen as well...

I will have to try. It has a USB port, but I am not sure that it is a working audio output.

:ROFLMAO: Good one! (I am not) It is still a work in progress, but for my specific use (local flac collection) I am having lots of inconveniences, so far. I have opened a few tickets with WiiM alreay. Basically, I have gained improvements from Bluesound, but have also lost things that were...

Fair enough. I should have phrased my post differently then, my intention was to share best sounding albums between members, to have a list of great sounding albums available here :)

My music library is composed of many different genres, from jazz to electronic, folk to pop, rock (...). One of my favourite bands is Radiohead, which is also one that has released albums with a very high production quality. Having said that, if I had to choose one single album for testing...

So, I ordered and received my new WiiM Ultra early, in the end. I have tested it all weekend, and here are my initial impressions: Comparing the WiiM with the Node 2i, paired with my RMS DAC, using Coax for both, I can't say that I notice any difference, in terms of overall sound quality, or...

Will do!

I've never used USB as an audio in/out this way, so I am just not sure if my DAC will accept it, even though the WiiM has the output. I'll try it for sure!

Interesting! This would go in the same direction as what the video shared by Witterings earlier suggests... Once I purchase a WiiM ultra after Xmas, I will test all that. I am not sure if I will be able to connect the WiiM to the RME DAC through USB, but if it works, I'll compare it with the...

Great to hear, thank you! In your comparison, I would imagine that the WiiM sounded better, right?
