Thanks for the information, I purchased the ifi ipower2 for my WiiM pro plus , I can definitely hear a big improvement over stock usb power. This is my first time hearing a low noise power supply. My set up: wharfedale 12.2 Yamaha A-501 WiiM pro plus Tidal connect

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.

The iFi Power2 was only used for the streamer circuit in the WiiM Pro. Coax cable was used to a Yamaha A4A receiver. I definitely heard more clarity in the output sound.

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

Thanks for another great video. I've been watching your channel for around a year now before I bought my first headphone setup, Sennheiser 660S2 with Ifi signature dac and amp, each with a ipower 2, and was generally happy with the sound. But there was some harshness, too sibilant and some glaring quality that was fatiguing. When I got my wiim pro yesterday with the ifi 2 power supply that harshness was all gone! It now sounds sublime to my ears and I am very happy about my purchase thanks to your very informative videos so I would like to thank you for everything.

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.

I had one of the first wiim pro plus and tried it out of the box, then added an ifi, then a proper linear power supply (lhy) clear improvements at every stage, then a dac, I the went back to the ifi with a noticeable drop off in quality, I didn't bother trying it using stock power with the external dac. 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... I ended up returning the wiim and the ifi, that said they are well with the money but I needed to go higher.

I wonder if I should just stay with the mini and get an external dac and better power supply. But I wonder if the digital output from the mini is not good enough to get better results from a higher end dac.

The bitstream out of even the WiiM Plus Pro is good enough for a low end DAC. If you use a mid-range DAC, a. better streamer or network bridge will give better sound through the DAC.

I would try the WiiM Pro, pick up a linear power supply like the LHY 5v unit and get the WiiM remote so you can use the WiiM Pro as a preamp. Use a good digital coax cable to hook to your Enyo. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I am using my WiiM Pro through a PS Audio DAC right now, and it sounds better than the other much more expensive streamers I have had through here.

I honestly don’t understand where is the ‘noise’ or ‘distortion’ that upgrades are supposed to solve. I compared the regular Wiim to the Pro Plus; I can't hear a difference. I got the Nirvana power supply: I can't hear a difference. I got new preamp Tubes for my tube amp: I can't hear a difference. Not sure if I should be disappointed I can't hear any issues or happy I'm saving money and I'm content. I was genuinely hoping to hear something "better" or "different". Does anyone else feel as perplexed as I do?

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel ok, then maybe some other fairly budget DAC ? I guess it would not make sense to add a very expensive one because then I can buy another streamer with a better DAC ( Blue node for example )

Great posts! Thanks for sharing your honest views. I'm using the iFi Power X and is happy with it but looking at upgrade to a high grade LPS which Plixir , SBooster and Farad are the ones I'm interested. Seems like SBooster is sthg that I would take a seriosu audition. Cheers

hello, thanks for your interesting video. I'm lookin for an upgrade for my wiim pro power supply. it comes with a 5V 2A power supply. I found an Ifi Power 2 that's 9V 2A. is it ok for my Wiim Pro? thank you for your reply

I measure everything and only report things that clearly affect audible sound quality. As far as double blind testing is concerned , watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3iZfYZvi6mNosksi=rZBuxD7Ky6AxSz7l

Excuse me but I didn’t catch any measurements relating to differences in audio output signal. As for blind testing I’m not able to tell what would the argument for or against it be but I’m assuming no such thing is called for here.

No, because it's mostly influenced by the price and visual bias. Is the output of one power supply cleaner than another, show me the signals. Does it even matter since the DAC already has all the power filtering it needs. Blind test would result in no audible difference.

In principle you prefer a well implemented switched mode power supply for a DAC-less streamer. But in this case you prefer a well implemented linear power supply for the Wiim.

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.

Hi Hans. Thanks for doing what you do. Do you (or anyone else in the comments) have any experience comparing the benefits of the original ifi ipower supply with the version 2? I have a few of the original ones in the house, and I'm curious if there is a significant difference.
