Greetings,

Due to wifey restraints, I am forced to listen to my music with headphones. I am considering the purchase of the relatively new DAC/AMP combo called the Luxsin X9. I am also considering the WiiM Ultra as my streamer.

Pardon this noobish question, but what's the best way to connect the two units utilizing the WiiM Ultra only as a streamer?

Thank you,
BL

Welcome, understood given the circumstances ;)

To use the Wiim as a streamer you'll use the Toslink optical out from the Wiim to the optical in of the X9 or USB out from Wiim to USB in on the X9 or the coax out will do the same. Lots of options. Which is best? That's always up for debate. If you have high-res files, use the USB. The X9 will do the decoding.
