In Reply to: RE: Or a fully stock A6 with outboard DAC posted by AbeCollins on July 13, 2024 at 21:00:41
I don't know, Abe. If it's used as a DAC and preamp and if it isn't bright and sounds great, it might be a good purchase. But used as a streamer only $859 (Amazon's current price) seems a little expensive to me for just a streamer. I know it's got that 6" display but still... I did think about this unit but given the preamp and DAC I already have I decided my RPi 4 and picorePlayer were good enough.

My system is just fine. The preamp and amps work brilliantly for my speakers. I've got an RPi and USB DAC that sounds great.
Why change?
I'm perfectly happy.

I'm happy with the sound from my RPi and USB DAC too."Why change?"
I've thought about this. Maybe the bouncy VU meters? Maybe the multiple streaming Apps built into the streamer? Maybe the internal M.2 SSD for local music?
The lower-end WiiM Ultra ($329) might be a better choice IF it can drive an external USB DAC.

LOL! Bouncy VU meters?!!??
My problem with new stuff is that it's likely just a sideways change.
My other fear is that the UI and new learning the new phone apps that you'll need to change that may or may not be as good as I already had. Perhaps the UI would be better, but honestly, I don't really care.
My motto is 'Don't fix it if it ain't broke.'
