Just "inherited" a WiiM Pro Plus and find it very easy and stable to use, and sounds good. Wondering if there would be benefits to using an external DAC, and if so what DAC's have been found to match well.
Thanks for all the responses and suggestions...this is definitely looking like a more complicated decision than I had anticipated...but in a good way...
I’m running a WiiM Pro with a Cambridge Audio DACmagic 200 using a coax connection. Sound is excellent. I haven’t had any jitter issues. The DACmagic also works great with my Musical Fidelity M2SCD with coax. High value to price ratio.
To add to my previous comment I’m running a modified Elekit tu8500 tube preamp with NOS Mullard tubes to smooth things out. The amp is a Fantasia Audio modified Hafler DH 200 and I’m using Focal Electra 1037 be speakers. For tt I have a Profect RPM 3 Carbon with Sumiko Amethyst cartridge and a Schiit Mani 2 phono stage. In my opinion it’s audiophile sound at a mid fi price. The WiiM works for me.
I have my Wiim Pro + connected to a Topping E70 Velvet. Sounds very nice through my Vincent SV-500MK and Focal Aria 906 speakers. I think the Topping is a price appropriate DAC for this streamer.
Wiim Pro Plus works very nicely yet an external DAC could be quite wise. It becomes a question of budget when deciding about the DAC as well as the overall sound presentation you are seeking relative to the rest of your system.
