The WiiM is great sounding for the price (I have one)...but it's not a great DAC in there...
DACs in the Peachtree Nova 150 vs WiiM Ultra
I recently bought the Peachtree Nova 150 and have a WiiM Ultra. Not anywhere close to an expert here, so wondering the following:
Would the DAC in the "brand new" WiiM Ultra (ES9038Q2M) perform/sound better than the much older one in the Peachtree Nova 150 (ES9018K2M SABRE32 Reference)?
Thanks!!

I don’t know how to say this without someone coming unglued. Even the noob that I am was able to see this person is early in their journey. If they decide to continue with their journey, it will become obvious to them as a travel along, what they have. To nip it in the bud, with Negativity is one sure way to get them to quit. Once again, I really don’t mean to ruffle feathers it just mine got a little ruffled when I was reading your comments, sorry. |
Maybe I may dissuade someone for doing anything with my comment. I was in the same boat not too long ago. I wish I had listened to some advice to look at Schitt Audio when stating out as I stated above. Last night, I did a complex audio setup, and I needed a preamp. I remembered that I had a Schitt JR headphone amp in a box somewhere. Schitt stopped making this unit was getting rid of stock for about $250 last year. I took this amp out of the box and hooked it up to a ROON endpoint that was using a Convolution filter made for a specific headphone (a complicated setup). I ended up using the preamp section of this unit and not the amp end. I hooked it up to the Schitt Aegir v1 amp ($450 used). This thing sounded so good that I put up my $7000 tube headphone amp that serves the same purpose up for sale yesterday. I am not starting out my audio builds but finishing my builds. I am selling a lot of expensive ger to ’downsize’ with the Schitt gear I am recommending for people who are just starting out.

Here is my ad. No one will believe me that the Schitt gear is a competitor to this great amp, so I have no issue posting this beside the comment above. My target audience is not on A’gon for this amp.I reopened the ad last night.
