Bluesound died - is Wiim a good alternative?

I have the Pro and Ultra and very happy with both...supposedly the Ultra is better even if used with external DAC but I have not compared...Also love my Wiim Mini with bedside Bose clock/CD/Radio...much depends on the role of streaming in your listening...

should've gone for the WIim already before even making this post. it is a no brainer

If you have patience and want to save money, and know the tricks of Ebay, there can be bargains to be found. I bought a Bluesound Node X for a total of $410.00. That price included tax, shipping, Ebay's fees, everything. And a week ago another Node X sold for $425. That's a good bargain. But be careful because streamers are often holding their original value, so be patient. 

Thanks for your replies -- @soix it's good to hear from you again. I was under the mistaken impression that the WiiM Pro could be used to connect to Tidal via Ethernet; apparently I can only stream music to the WiiM by Bluetooth, which would seriously reduce SQ.  I'll probably go with a new BlueSound, which will let me continue to stream via Ethernet as I did with my old box, or wait until I can afford a better quality streamer.  

From my experience, Wiim’s native DAC circuitry sounds a bit thin. An external DAC is suggested.
