Streamer issues

I have a couple of streamers and no matter what I do I can’t get either one to play any higher resolution than 48k . I am using a brand new Wiim mini and I have just loaded the app and I am using Qobuz ( new version of the app) I have it set at 24/192 in wifi streaming mode. I tried to use the settings for the wiim to set up for 24/192 or 96 but it was not playing. I have a smsl do 100 dac ( new) but it still doesn’t work. Please help!

Hate to be blunt but you're probably going to have to spend more than $79 on a streamer.

Entry level I recomment the IFI zen or the Allo USBridge Signature. Both can be had under $400 if you shop around.

Entry level is a Raspberry Pi if you can find one. My RasPi 3 is working better than my USBridge Signature. ~$500 with an Elite PS.  + $110 for a 2 TB SSD in a C case.

I have a raspberry pi that I can use. I forgot about it. I put it away for the Auris audifi . I have finally gotten it to work and it is sounding great. The optical cable was not all the way engaged and it caused the problem. I have heard that the Wiim mini is actually a capable streaming unit due to the upgrades that they have been making recently.

I am now using the wimm mini pluging into a smsl do100 dac and going to a schitt freya + with some updated tubes and a peachtree gan400 amp powering the Magnepan LRS+ .
