This is a joke, right?  
Looking for an all in one streamer/amp for a den system
Second the motion for the WiiM Amp Ultra which is due out third quarter this year.  I have the separate WiiM Ultra and Vibeamp units and think they are great -- fantastic buys for the money. The Amp Ultra will combine them into one unit.

I think one needs to be very cautious with AI. There are way too many stories of AI just making things up.  A few months ago a lawyer got in big trouble with a judge when he used AI to research case law for a trial. It turned out all of the cases ...

Only trying to be half funny, but have you cleaned your ears?  
All-in-One (Streamer/DAC/Amp) - Powernode vs WiiM amps
Just a heads-up -- WiiM has announced they will be releasing the Amp Ultra which will combine their Ultra streamer and their Vibelink amp in a single case.  It should be available third quarter 2025.  This should be a really attractive option if y... 
Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday
I find no difference in sound quality between Qobuz Connect and my other streaming apps -- the music is still being delivered digitally from their server to my player. QC is just a controller for selection.  But I'm probably as picky as some other...

Last night Qobuz Connect upgraded to v. 9.0.0.1 on my phone.  I have three WiiM units that are compatible with Connect.  However, when I open the Qobuz app, I find the list of available devices can be very slow to populate, though this seems to be...

Update - I was able to get the Android version of Qobuz Connect 9.0.0.0 installed on my phone by turning on participation in the beta version in Play Store.  As for what devices it works with, Qobuz, here is a list of brands from the Qobuz web sit... 
Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday
It doesn't appear that Android version 9.0.0.0 of the Qobuz app is available yet on Play Store. The only one showing is 8.6.1.1. which doesn't support Qobuz Connect.  Looks like Android users still have a bit of a wait.  
How hot is too hot?
I just checked the CPU temp of my Raspberry Pi music server. It’s at 58 C.  My Dell laptop, which I’m using to type this response, is running at 52 C.  For computer electronics you typically don’t have anything to worry about until the temp goes o... 
Speaker set up for more than 1 person
One could get a pair of Ohms. They have a very big sweet spot.  
What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers
@steve59 -- true the OP didn't ask the question, but another member did ask that very specific question about halfway down the page.  My post was directed to him.  
What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers
@markley -- "What is DSP?" I don't see anyone has answered your question. DSP is the acronym for Digital Signal Processing.  It is often implemented these days using parametic EQ which can fine tune the equalization much more specifically than tr...
