Streamer issues

I have a couple of streamers and no matter what I do I can’t get either one to play any higher resolution than 48k . I am using a brand new Wiim mini and I have just loaded the app and I am using Qobuz ( new version of the app) I have it set at 24/192 in wifi streaming mode. I tried to use the settings for the wiim to set up for 24/192 or 96 but it was not playing. I have a smsl do 100 dac ( new) but it still doesn’t work. Please help!

Hate to be blunt but you're probably going to have to spend more than $79 on a streamer.

Entry level I recomment the IFI zen or the Allo USBridge Signature. Both can be had under $400 if you shop around.

Entry level is a Raspberry Pi if you can find one. My RasPi 3 is working better than my USBridge Signature. ~$500 with an Elite PS.  + $110 for a 2 TB SSD in a C case.

I have a raspberry pi that I can use. I forgot about it. I put it away for the Auris audifi . I have finally gotten it to work and it is sounding great. The optical cable was not all the way engaged and it caused the problem. I have heard that the Wiim mini is actually a capable streaming unit due to the upgrades that they have been making recently.

did you do some troubleshooting? does your dad work with the input you are using with abnother front end, like a Mac or pc? 

What happens when you set the rate to 48 or 96 instead of 192?
