Audiolab 7000N Play Network Streamer with DAC

I don't know how good the Arylic is, as a digital streamer (a streamer that just does the job of streaming, with digital output passed on the a DAC). The Wiim Pro is absolutely dependable and capable as far as that goes.

The Octavio Stream (available in India) is also priced at a close range. The Stream actually uses a modified version of the Linkplay app under license, and perhaps (I'm not absolutely sure of this) a Linkplay module inside it. The Octavio Stream only has a combo analog out + optical out, so that maybe limiting to some.

The Octavio does not have a LAN port. The Stream 3 (Mk2) is missing Coax Out (it has Toslink). The Solo, like the WIiM Pro, has Coax and Toslink out. The S50 Pro+ and Songbird (Andover) have SPDIF (Coax + Toslink) and analogue inputs and outputs. Although the Songbird omits BT.

I'd be happy with a streamer that omits the DAC but provides all the possible input (LAN, USB, BT, Analog) and output (AES, Coax, Toslink, I2S) options.

They'd mentioned in the forum they the Amazon listing should be up by Aug 6th. They were testing the listing and someone screenshot it too, before it disappeared.

" Hi all,

Just to update the US Amazon listing for WiiM Pro Plus will be live on Tue 8/8. We'll link the URL when it's live. Thanks for your support and interest in this new product as we gear up for the launch of it."

The above is the response from the WiiM Team last Saturday regarding PRO Plus release
 
WiiM PRO + seems to be good upgrade in the DAC and ADC performance compared to PRO

What's the purpose of mic in wiim pro+?
Click to expand...
is there in WiiM pro also. It is actually an in-built mic and don't think it accepts any external microphone.
When you have multi-room playback, the in-built mic ensures there is no audio latency.
I have never tried it, but that option is available in the app.

Actually there is no clarity on this as it clearly look like a physical connection (in or out no idea).

Screen shot from WiiM Forum is attached below with the link

What does the microphone on the back do? Print​

Modified on: Mon, Dec 12, 2022 at 3:19 PM

The on-device microphone is used to measure the entire audio path latency automatically when it's connected with the receiver or speaker. The latency value will then be used to maintain the perfect audio synchronization in the multi-room audio playback with HomePod, Echo, Google Home or other WiiM devices.

Though the DAC in the WiiM Pro Plus is capable of DSD, not sure if the device is capable as at present the processing is restricted at 24/192.
For many with Roon integration and lot of DSD files in their database, it could well be a deal breaker.

I feel the pro plus will mainly attract those who prefer a simple one box solution or to those who plan to buy WiiM for the 1st time.

Just wondering, how many Pro owners here wish to upgrade to the Pro Plus????
