The Mercury isn't available yet. The Magna sells for Euro 800 excluding VAT (if you are exporting to India). That is pretty close to $799 of the Mercury V2 when it comes.Hi, This is more expensive than Mercury, in what way you find magna better then mercury

I have been asked to recommend a streamer (budget around Rs. 50k but no need for analogue outputs) with BT, Wifi and LAN inputs and SPDIF (Coax), AES or I2S output. I found these options assuming an exchange rate of Rs. 90 per $. I don't know where these would be available in India.With the Price of WiiM PRO expected to be around $149 ( 12,000/- ) comparing with Yamaha WXC-50 may not be fair

Any ideas? What do we get as we go up the cost ladder? Only the Bremen B2 has AES/I2S.
Yamaha first retailed at 25k INR. But now it cost around 41k. That is what is really unfair. Squeezing money out of us once they know there is a demand.With the Price of WiiM PRO expected to be around $149 ( 12,000/- ) comparing with Yamaha WXC-50 may not be fair
Even if Yamaha is retailed for the same 25k, still it is not fair to compare it with WiiM PRO ( 12k )Yamaha first retailed at 25k INR. But now it cost around 41k. That is what is really unfair. Squeezing money out of us once they know there is a demand.
Yeah, but doubling the amount within a short period is totally unacceptable.Even if Yamaha is retailed for the same 25k, still it is not fair to compare it with WiiM PRO ( 12k )
Jokes apart....,
considering the build quality, DAC inside (ESS), better connectivity, Yamaha seems to be better when compared to WiiM PRO
Of course, most of the AV manufacturers are here for squeezing money based on the demand for their product and Yamaha cannot be different from them

I am waiting for the Bremen B2. It looks decent (like a hi-fi component) supports DSD 128 (5.6M) and 256 (11.2M) and has AES/I2S and SPDIF out. https://www.silentangel.com/b2/B2-Quick-Start-Guide.pdfAnother WiiM PRO update

I have a friend using the Wiim mini and seems very happy with it. Not sure about the nitty gritty involved.Hi Guys
I am seeking some help and advice.
I want an good audiophile grade audio streamer. Not a media streamer. I only want to stream music from the Tidal and Spotify app on my phone to my DAC.
I have a DAC, pre amp and power amp.
So far, I find when I look for a streamer, it come bundled with a DAC. I guess that makes me pay for a DAC that I do not need or want.
I’m not a DIY person so not looking at assembling a raspberry pi based DAC/streamer , or anything on those lines. Just want to buy something off the shelf.
Any recommendations or advice will be welcome.
