DAC for WiiM Pro Plus


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.

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.
