WiiM
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- So WiiM was the way forward but it’s so brilliant. Just having the remote to control everything is so useful too
- Wiim's software is very good. It's Linux kernel, same as Android, but with way less kruft than something designed to power phones, tablets, and what have you.
- Check out Wiim if you want streaming devices. They make an Amp version that can sub for Sonos, and it's compatible with Chromecast, Spotify, and many more options.
- There's also Wiim who makes streaming and amp devices that you can cast to, I'm using them as little 2.0 setups in my house.
- If you really want to use Bluetooth, get another adapter like a Wiim or whatever you want.
Cons
- The WiiM is brilliant, but very intermittent with USB connection, so optical, rca etc are preferred

- The problem with Wiim is that it doesn’t have usb input. The usb at the back is only for power.
- I use them since about half a year. Mostly happy with them. I had one occasion where they stopped connecting properly in a group set up. Reconnecting them fixed it entirely and had no issues since.

Start with a WiiM and an SMSL D1 if you decide to.
The problem with Wiim is that it doesn’t have usb input. The usb at the back is only for power.
Then I installed a high-end DAC fed by Wiim, completely taking the Denon out of the chain, and that's the best yet, for music only of course.
