Yeah.. I am at it ;)

I had been eyeing a wiim pro since long..
But the dac performance is pretty underwhelming as per various reviews and opinions hence I have been putting the purchase off (there are other reasons as well)
Wanted to ask if there are some other similar options as well..
Something which has wifi and bluetooth streaming (integration of various streaming platforms is appreciated but not mandatory)
Support of aptx aptx hd LL and ldac would be nice..
A DAC chip that is more recent and decent.. Especially towards clearer side..
Ususal ports like optical coaxial usb c (if possible) rca etc..

Pro plus from wiim is decent but it just goes out of budget..

Something that's around 150usd or 14 to 15k landed

Will be using with my fosi bt20a pro akp


Edit :

I can also do with a standalone DAC with a good may be akm chip but that has enough inputs and output options... No wifi ans bluetooth can do

You can consider the iFi Zen Blue V2 streamer/dac in that budget (no personal experience)

I use a Wiim Pro (streamer only) with Topping E50 (DAC). The Zen Blue V2 built-in DAC should ok, but if that doesn't cut it, you can always buy a better DAC later and hook up to the coaxial out

Around 16k there is Fosi Audio ZD3.

Edit: No LDAC on there...Sorry.

Edit 2: No AKM on there... Sorry.

Edit 3 : Well....if you need DAC for WiiM Pro then the only option is SMSL SU-1, There is No BT though.

Yes smsl su1 is decent and I can buy that at the end of the day
FiiO bt 30 pro
Auris Audifi
Topping 30
All are okay as far as dac goes

This time I have deliberately controlled myself and thinking of buying a used dac only, from someone of anyone has for disposal..

Otherwise wiim pro plus ticks all boxes.
Just trying g to find someone coming from us

WiiM is a superior product no doubt but there is another brand Acrylic also which offers a similar UI. Not. sure the Streaming service App Integration though.
