Question/Help Needed: Boomer who is totally inexperienced with DACs and streamers.
All, I ended up buying, as a starter, the Wiim Pro Plus.  So is it fair to conclude that once set up/connected to the internet, the Streamer pulls the files from the source, such as Amazon Music/Tidal and sends it to the DAC for conversion from di... 
Question/Help Needed: Boomer who is totally inexperienced with DACs and streamers.
The Wiim offers a coaxial out, but my amp/internal DAC do not have a coaxial in, so I would need a coaxial/USB adapter or something similar.  Seems at least for now, should go Wiim/optical and take it from there......thanks again!

Thanks, from my reading the Wiim Pro Plus supports 24/194 as well. In looking at that vs the Node, aside from the price (Node is twice as much) the Wiim digital outs are coaxial and optical, while the node has USB as well. Some past posts suggest ...

OK, hopefully last on the topic.  I assure you, I was not offended.  Maybe it is just me, but I can react to things, in varying degrees, personally or professionally, without offense taken.  I can also offer recommendations, suggest actions etc, p...

You are funny.......I was not offended at all.  As to avoiding arguments or thinking, my "opinion" is that this is not a forum to argue about Fauci, Democrats, Republicans, etc.  Maybe as only a "one time poster" I incorrectly assumed this was a f...

For about a year now, I have hung back and just read the various threads, etc.  There is a ton of really impressive "on topic" knowledge here.  I have learned a lot.  Seriously.  Then today I get to read this drivel: "Democrats and people from De...
