My WIIM Pro Plus

[gjb]

My WIIM Pro Plus shows 16 bits, 44.1 kHz, 1411 kbps when streaming Pandora. I'm confused?

Hi @gjb

Welcome to community!

Can you tell me more about your experience. I see you're using a WIIM Pro Plus. Is your WIIM connected to a receiver, speaker or computer?

I didn't post the initial question but I have a WiiM pro and just tried Pandora and I am getting a hi res reading of 16bits 44 kHz also. Is that right. Pandora is a lossy streaming app.

It was an error on WiiM's part where they were showing the decoded PCM codec rate rather than the Pandora stream rate (AAC).  It was fixed some time ago (April 2024) and now Pandora content is showing as "128 kbps, 16 bits, 44.1 kHz" from my WiiM Amp.
