I’m torn between using the Wiim Mini via an existing DAC I own using the optical link. But I’m concerned I need to get the Pro so I can use its coax output. I believe I need that to get the most from my Tidal ‘max’ streaming rates. But I’m interested in hearing your experience and opinions on this.

    I have done both on my Wiim Pro and heard no difference in the audio. I am also unable to hear a difference between the Mini & Pro versions. It is nice to have the option of both on the Pro if you are already using one of your digital inputs already.

    There is something to be said about the galvanic isolation of TOSLINK but if you aren’t having any issue to begin with I don’t think it really matters.

    In my case, I had to use coax. I have the wiim Pro, and use it with a fiio k7, but optical on the k7 doesn’t support 24/192. It stops at 24/96.
