@lanx0003 Thanks again for all the info on your Wiim, as well as the comparisons with your Node Nano (also, for your honesty!). If you're still interested, I'd like to go   ahead with your offer; how can I contact you to discuss the details?

@ga_audio Thanks for your input - I will be feeding the digital output from the WiiM to my Bel Canto 2.7 DAC, similar to your application.  You said Qobuz Connect was flaky, but the WiiM app can be used instead, and is solid. I'll probably be usin...

@lanx0003 That sounds fine -- has it been used? Did you have any issues?

@curiousjim I agree the BS is a good unit, but I'm retired and funds are tight.  If I can get the same SQ with Wiim, why not? @lanx0003 I just DM'd you - I got my red light problem fixed this weekend by replacing a few more caps (again), but it m...

it sounds like I’ll be ordering a Wiim – thanks for all your responses!

@philgo01 thanks for your post – it’s been so long since the CD ripping feature died that I’m not sure what the cause was, but I’m pretty sure it was electrical.    @pnolley1 thanks for all the info on the benefits of battery powered streaming! A...

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 serio... 
What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?
@josepad  Don't tell that to McCormack DNA owners; we love our ugly amps just fine!   
Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps
@soix thanks for the tip - can’t believe I didn’t think of that… 🙄    
Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps
@soix, thanks for starting this chain of posts – I can’t believe how many responses it has generated.  Like you, I am a very happy owner of a rebuilt DNA-1, but a comment in one of the posts much earlier said that the on/off switch on the front pa... 
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
+1 @soix I agree — it is hard to go wrong with any rebuilt McCormack DNA-series amp. I’ve had mine for several years, and it’s as close to an “endgame“ amp as I would ever expect to find. Quality build, great value, and wonderfully musical.  
What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself?
A pair of SVS SB-1000 Pro Subs, to complement my Usher Mini Dancer 2's.  The Ushers already have pretty good bass, but the subs seem to give the sound more fullness and, in the right recordings, improved bass below 40 Hz.  Still tweaking, but alre... 
Do you adjust your subwoofer
@bigwave1 Please send a link to the test disc you recommend; there are several sold by Granite.
