I’ve a WiiM ultra and two pro plus. I love em all. I’m using a better dac now,but still love the flexibility.
Inexpensive Streamer for Office System
I am hoping to set up an headphone ( Grado Headphones -Hemp ) system for use in my office . It will admittedly be a bit of a hodgepodge of old gear and new stuff. I will likely use an AudioNote 0.1 x dac ( obtained used ) and would like to find a "small " streamer in the 750 to 1000 dollar range. As the AudioNote does not do oversampling and does not support DSD, I don't need a very "high tech" option. I do like an organic natural sound. So far have been looking at the Metrum Ambre and Baby Ambre , Sotm Neo and Sonore gear, but wonder if anyone has any suggestions. Hope those of you on the east coast had less snow than we received and many thanks for your suggestions.

My WT amp ultra may be perfect. It sounds closer to the original music than anything I’ve heard. Hear the original music - Big Bad John. Alex/Wavetouch audio |
@mattw73 @jjss49 The Nano is rated at 5V, 2A minimum, but I found that my LHY LPS15VA (5V, 2.5A max) and the iFi iPower2 (5V, 2.5A max) were not sufficient. It wasn’t until I powered it with the LPS25VA (3A max) that it performed properly. It really sounds good.I’m also not sure whether you found the USB output sounds better than coaxial. I kind of wish there were a second USB port dedicated to media. |
for my node i have used an ifi power elite (4a rated), s-booster botw(2a rated on paper but that rating is evidently quite conservative), and also a keces 116 lps unit with 3a capability in each rail all worked fine, no issues powering the node
