Which of them provided actual data to back up what they say? Which ones were just waffling about "how it sounded"A review with listening conclusion that the WiiM pro+ has a Spdif output of equal quality as the much more expensive Eversolo dmp a6.
This is a very different conclusion than Alpha audio made. Who can we trust ? Vintageflanker measurements show very good digital behavior for the WiiM pro +.
Well, the comparisons you linked here:The important thing is the difference in sound despite the YouTube compression -> live it will be greater and you will be able to appreciate other things such as 3D sound and so on.
For some, imagination would have been there anyway, even with proper level match...Aren't properly level-matched. They differ between 0.6 and 1 dB. That is not good enough! And your imagination will do the rest..
Yes, but as men were often prefer precise measurements to accompany our delusions.For some, imagination would have been there anyway, even with proper level match...

My WiiM pro sounds exactly the same as bridge as my Mac M1 with TIDALThe WiiM pro + is pretty good and a steal at $230. However, I'm getting better sound from my Macs USB out to my CXA81's USB in (using Tidal Hi Fi in 'exclusive' mode).
If you want to improve your stereo's sound, cup your earlobes forward with your thumb (on the lobule), and your index and middle fingers pulling the pinna forward (to make little 'elephant' ears).
It's an instant upgrade. Also, see a medical professional and have your ears syringed once or twice a year.
The room is about 80% of the sound that we are hearing anyway, so get it treated (but not by a medical professional)
And, of course, we all suffer from age related frequency loss. I'm down to about 15,000 Hz and have mild tinnitus from playing in bands and listening to music on headphones too loud as a kid in the 70's.
Since the Wiim pro+ dac is audibly transparent - it is almost certain that the difference you percieve is not in the soundwaves reaching your ears, but a result of cognitive bias / placebo effect. (Or if you are not using the same source material (eg - tidal on Mac, something else on Wiim - or different masters coming from one source, then it could be mastering differences)The WiiM pro + is pretty good and a steal at $230.

..or maybe the cxa81 does A/D conversion at the analog inputs, making the WiiM sound worse ?Since the Wiim pro+ dac is audibly transparent - it is almost certain that the difference you percieve is not in the soundwaves reaching your ears, but a result of cognitive bias / placebo effect.
