    I think that Wiim and their very competitive pricing has made other companies take notice. My Wiim Mini was so easy to set up that I didn't have to ask a young person to help me. LOL I like the looks of the Arylic. I may need one for my living room system. Great video from the United States of Awesome!

      Yeah I like my WIIM minis. I have 4.
      Kind of nervous their new ultra amp stopped supporting AirPlay. It makes it easy for my family to control music.
      This looks like a good alternative if things head more south with WIIM.

    Decodes up to 24bit/192kHz though outputs 44.1kHz/16bit (CD quality), hence it appears an outboard DAC is limited to 44/16. WiiM Mini I believe will output 24/192.

      The WiiM mini is able to output bit perfect audio at 24bit/192kHz to an external DAC. The internal DAC isn't excellent but it actually performs better than I expected. I had to fiddle with the EQ but got it to work quite well.
      Next purchase will be a DAC because I also want to use my old Sony CD player as a transport and try to get some improvements.

  • @cunawarit
    @cunawarit 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It's great to see streamer prices coming down, making high-quality audio setups more accessible. My current choice is a Raspberry Pi connected via USB to a separate DAC, which has been a fantastic solution. After experimenting with various streaming software, I've settled on Volumio, which works seamlessly for my needs. I use my phone as the remote, while the Pi remains discreetly tucked away. Despite the temptation, I've resisted the urge to house it in a fancy case or add a DAC hat-it does the job perfectly as is.
    At $69 though, it's even cheaper than a Pi! We are at the point where going homebrew is not the best value.

  • @DeanCaselli

    The drop out at the end of your songs almost songs like you are experiencing whatever the opposite of 'gapless' playback is called. I was trying to listen to the 50th Anniversary Dark Side of the Moon recording the other night through the Apple Music App and it was most definitely NOT gapless as it couldn't decide where to break the songs up into individual tracks, causing some not very nice breaks in the songs, which is not what you want on a recording like that. In some cases, this did come off as a slight pause, not just an abrupt break (that said, your 5 seconds is a lifetime for a drop out). My Dark Side experience is the reason why, when I finally bought a new CD transport last month, I chose one that supports gapless playback--had to have it. It's doesn't support DSD or MQA, which is fine by me as long as my CDs play straight through as they were intended.

    • @windowman9406
      @windowman9406 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ALL cd players and transports "support" gapless. They just play the cd, which is an inherently gap less medium

    • @DeanCaselli
      @DeanCaselli 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Respectfully, this is not true. There are new CD players that do not support gapless playback. It’s a buyer beware situation. My understanding is that any player carrying the CD logo is supposed to include the full redbook standard that includes gapless playback but this is not always the case any longer (so your assertion about the standard for gapless playback being inherent to the format is not incorrect, but the adherence to that ideal/standard by all manufacturers is absolutely in question). Recent models that have been reported to not support gapless playback upon release have included the Yamaha 303 and the Arcam cd5 (both of which have also been reported to have been fixed via firmware updates following buyer complaints). I’m going to leave it at that, because I’m not an expert on the subject but kept running into this issue when shopping for a new player/transport, watching online reviews, reading audio forums, and checking tech specs.

    • @mafcarvalho
      @mafcarvalho 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I can definitely listen to gapless music via Tidal on my WiiM mini. The Dark Side of the Moon is a great example because I listened to it last week. Even at Max quality there is no interruption whatsoever between tracks if you have the proper settings on the WiiM home app. Turn off fade-in and fade-out effects and you're set.

    I appreciate the review and another option being available on a budget but imo the only feature that this very basic (and accordingly sounding) streamer has "better" than the WiiM mini is a physical LAN connection.
    I prefer the WiiM mini nevertheless. The WiiM sounds better and software on the Arylic is an inferior imitation of the WiiM home app. Oh and the remote isn't important if you use an app on your phone or tablet.
    I honestly can't visualise Arylic providing the constant updates and support that WiiM products are getting.
    At this price point I guess it would be asking too much. Tbh I am surprised that the mini gets so much love from WiiM.

      @@UnitedStatesofAnalog Know who else didn't agree with you on that SMSL SU1 Bob? My wife. Who is NOT an audiophile. Who is NOT an audio engineer. Who is NOT a former high end audio salesman. Who is NOT a speaker designer. Who is NOT a musician. I simply sat her down and asked her opinion. Frankly, it amazes me that ANYONE would write glowing reviews on that DAC. Or that anyone would claim "It can make a $24.00 Walmart DVD player sound as good as a high end CDP"
      I asked my wife "Does that DAC,, connected not to a $24.00 Walmart DVD player, but a $450.00 Yamaha DVD/SACD player sound better or even as good as that 20 year old mid fi CD player"? She said.....her words not mine...."Not even close" In fact Bob, she heard the differences two rooms away before sitting down in the listening position.

      I can't find any evidence Arilyc and Wiim are the same company. Arilyc is owned by a company called Rakoit and Wiim by Linkplay. They do have a cooperative relationship however, which is probably why the apps are similar.
