Should I replace the Tidal streaming function of NAC N272 with Wiim mini?

When comparing a Spotify stream and Radioparadise, can you be sure that they are using the same masters with the same encoding and resolutions? If not, then I would be careful about drawing conclusions by comparing them.

They are not comparable as the streams use different lossy encoding methods.

For my own part, Iā€™ve stopped researching an external streamer for my 272, donā€™t want to mix another brand into my Naim system, so continue with the 272 and Tidal until the 272 has done its job, then weā€™ll seeā€¦

Iā€™m a 5 year owner of 272 and have had no problems with Tidal at all, apart from Naimā€™s App being rather clunky.

This is a very generalised, and quite misleading statement. From what Iā€™ve read on here, the 272 is a decent piece of kit and if one or maybe two users have issues with Tidal, its almost always down to a problem with those users networks or a local internet issue or whatever.

Telling the world that the 272 doesnā€™t work with Tidal is shortsighted and somewhat harmful.
