Description

Maybe, just maybe, this system setup is my own two-channel “Electronic OPUS.” I no longer pine for the Holo.

Topping E50: Here we get a lot of detailed information, and with good instrument separation, and a precise perspective Akurate DS: Very good warmth and body in the strings, combined with great clarity and precision in perspective. Wiim/Topping clearly more analyticalAkurate DS: Very melodic presentation, and a sea of ​​air between Garbarek and bass in the intro. Wiim/Topping feels a bit more technical in comparison. Power cycling the WiiM Mini solved this problem—except that it recurred when I tried playing a 24/48 Qobuz file after playing a 24/96 file. The problem was still there when I then played 24-bit WAV files from my iPad: They were truncated to 16-bit resolution until I power-cycled the WiiM Mini again. (I determined sample rate and active bit depth using my Audio Precision's digital-input analyzer.)

This is particularly apparent in the midrange, where the vocal is brimming with character and attitude. The WiiM is attentive to even the most minor or transient dynamic variations in the delivery, and as a result, the vocal line sounds immediate, natural and full of conviction. For those that use Tidal, you may appreciate the "Tidal Connect" feature that allows you to use the native Tidal app to control the streamer. Use the Wiim app to set things up initially, then use the native Tidal app thereafter. Easily the best way to control the streamer, IMO. I see there is a Spotify Connect as well so assume that works the same way for Spotify users (though I don't believe Spotify has yet offered CD quality tier to its users). Deezer is the last of the four major streaming services available in Norway, which is integrated into the Wiim app. I don't think the Deezer app in the Wiim is as well designed as the Qobuz app, but it works well enough. Deezer has a resolution limited to lossless CD quality Apple Music The app I mentioned at the beginning has been prepared for both iOS and Android. I could also wish for a Windows App, but there are several far more expensive systems that don't deliver either, so it's easy to forgive Wiim Audio on that point.Topping E50: Very good detailed guitar from Ian Anderson in the intro. At the same time, it is not embellished with a moderately good recording
