| Bluesound died - is Wiim a good alternative? Cheeg: Gkelly answered your question to me about ethernet connection above: the Wiim will automatically recognize your streaming platform when connected to Ethernet. I use a Pro Plus with an outboard DAC with this power supply (50W/5V/3.5A) and ... | |
| Bluesound died - is Wiim a good alternative? Cheeg: It is no problem to stream via ethernet to the Wiim Pro with either Tidal Connect or Qobuz Connect. I like Soix's suggestion for an LPS , but that is extremely easy to do with the pro or pro plus. You can do a Pro with a very high quality... | |
| Wifi Extender and Mesh - Configuration Tweak Thanks for posting this zlone. I found it to be very helpful and worthwhile with a TP link RE505X extender that I'm using and running with an ethernet cable connected from extender to streamer. | |
| WiiM into Outboard DAC Cooperdude: I have not used the Sbooster, and by most accounts it is pretty good, just a little bit too much money for me. As to the Chinese linear power supplies there is a pretty big difference in performance between, say for example, the ultr... | |
| WiiM into Outboard DAC It's definitely not bypassing the internal SMPS because.......... there is no internal SMPS in the Pro Plus that I use (or the Mini, or the straight Pro for that matter). So you don't need to bypass what is not there and the Mini, Pro and Pro ... | |

| hooking up my stream ...no ethernet nearby Buy a TP Link Wi-Fi Extender, plug it into an outlet reasonably close to your streamer and run an ethernet cable from the TP Link to the streamer. | |
| WiiM into Outboard DAC Hi jl35: I am using the linked power supply from Aliexpress, which is a very high value item IMO, along with a Preffair D503 power cable with all copper male & iec connectors and a silver DC cable (you will want a GX 16 2 Pin, Pin 1+, Pin... | |
| WiiM into Outboard DAC I have a Pro Plus and, in my experience, it responds in a BIG WAY, as a streamer only to external DAC to a linear power supply. I was shocked at how much it improved things. It's counterintuitive I think to spend almost as much or slightly more on... | |
| Streamers - Auralic, Aurender, Lumin, others... "I’m curious how much of a real sound difference there actually is between the Eversolo T8 and the Lumin U2 Mini, which costs almost twice as much." Gabriel 123: Not a direct answer to your question but an interesting read nonetheless: ... | |

| Reasonably-Priced Linear Power Supply for WIMM Pro Plus Streamer @ted_b Yes, I have extolled the virtues of these R-core power supplies here before (I have 3 of them, all 50W versions here, so a few more dollars (maybe $20-$25) than the one you linked to. Overkill for a Wiim Pro + or a Fiio K11 R2R which is... | |
| Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply Tweak1: This would be a very good choice. I have a version of this with a digital voltage readout on the front (very slightly more expensive) which is very good but have actually read that the voltage readout light introduces some noise and ca... | |
| Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply Greg: My first foray into LPS was with a relatively inexpensive 15W Weiliang (also sold as Breeze Audio I believe). These can be purchased with either a Bingzhi transformer or an upgraded Talema transformer. I have the latter as by most accounts i... | |
| Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply Just a heads up for those that might have interest that the LHY stand alone linear power supplies are available on Aliexpress for about 55% of the cost from Vinshine. Not sure how the tariff situation is affecting prices from Singapore or China in... |
