I have always enjoyed your content, Hans. I have just bought a Wii Pro Plus and an IFI Power 2 based on this review for my old but dead capable 'semi' smartspeaker B&W A7. It arrives tomorrow. On system 1 I run an Auralic G2.1 streamer with an aftermarket Hoer Wege PSU feeding a Denafips DDC and Terminator II DAC with expensive i2S and clock cabling and Network acoustics LAN components, among other expensive audio jewellry (the Auva EQ footers are a recommend of yours I am enjoying also). I'm not expecting remotely similar audio to my setup 1, but a fun office room and convenient streamer. Anyway, to my point: you are so gracious with your replies to people's questions. I ask no questions, just wanted to thank you for all that you do for our community. A real gent, we salute you

If i understand correctly, Hans explained that the power supply for the digital source is not as critical as the power supply for the DAC. You need the clean power for the D/A converters. I'm surprised that you hear a difference when you use the WiiM as a digital source. Do you have another iFi iPower 2 on your DAC as well? Might be interesting to compare with and without for the WiiM and the DAC, four tests in all.

Hans, you're a star (as is Tarun, The British Audiophile). I have a WiiM Pro Plus hooked up to a Mojo, which fed my Denon PMA600ne amp. I could barely hear the commercial freezer/compressor/pump come on in the barn through my Br03 speakers, but when I acquired my Grados it was more obvious, and then I started thinking I could hear a very,very faint hiss. Imagine my joy when I saw your video, which could have been tailored for me. An iPower 2 was just delivered which I've plugged into the WiiM. I am staggered by the difference , I'm not even going to ask my wife to keep swapping over power leads, the difference is incontrovertible. On the strength of that I've ordered a 6-way power strip that won a What HiFi magazine award, for a modest £40. Fortunately my pockets, and my wife, will prevent this from becoming an obsession, but I can't figure out how the barn circuit is getting to the house circuit. Forget it and turn the music up! A million thanks.

Han's does mention that you can soon get into a situation where you might be better off getting something more than a wiim pro...

This is the gist of this review, Hans' test was more of a review of the power being supplied to the WiiM Pro+'s DAC than the digital side. I would have liked to see a comparison of the power supplies on the quality of the digital signal feeding his DAC, although Hans said it is not critical.

I have a 9v lps... Would that work for the wiim pro plus without issues?

No, it needs 5 volts.

At your age, you suffer from severe hearing loss. How can then you claim hearing al these nuances of sound? How can you be sure that all this that you claim hearing is just your imagination?
