#Tidal connect vs airplay update#
What makes a huge difference is actually the app - WiiM Home app is stable, fast, has no glitches, updates with new features are frequent and I have never had a situation where an update had made new issues in the app. From the iphone app, when playing over airplay the audio quality says 'master' but when playing over tidal connect it says 'hifi'. The additional perks you have listed for Volumio also do exist in the WiiM Home app, so I don’t really see any advantage there. But, using the optical out from WiiM Mini with an outboard DAC gives me a decent sound quality, not too far off when compared to my RPi4 through the same DAC. It IS limited in outputs, its DAC is not worth mentioning, so the sound quality on the AUX out is really not that good at all.

I am a Volumio Premium user, so I do have the Tidal Connect service active on my RPi4, which was one of the main reasons to go the Volumio way.Īlso, I own a WiiM Mini and I must say I am very pleased with the way it works. Bit-perfect streaming up to 24-bit/192kHz Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect (Tidal MQA and Roon. My take from this is the question of value we get for our money with Volumio. All three are capable of excellent results when streaming music from a smartphone or. This can become an interesting conversation Apple Airplay 2, Chromecast and Spotify Connect rule the roost when it comes to music casting technologies. Turbo, if there is some more difference that you want to point out, besides the price, let me know. There are other differentiations which IMHO puts Volumio on a different level than the Wiim, even though I think they did a very good job and there is something that we should take inspiration from. With Volumio you get plugins, to extend functionality in a way that is unparalleled in the industry.With Volumio you get much more than TIDAL Connect, like multiroom sync, Metadatas, QOBUZ, play to SONOS, Chromecast and much more.Getting more quality out of your music (which is the reason you use TIDAL Connect in the first place) With Volumio you can output to USB, add and audio Hat depending on your taste etc. Output options on the Wiim are very limited (optical and aux out) and I’ve heard nobody praise audio quality.Well, thing is, I don’t think that’s the same result: So why should anyone pay more to get the same result (streaming with TIDAL Connect) ? Volumio’s is at first sight more expensive (with Premium) than Wiim Mini.
