If you don't want to host Roon anymore, WiiM really is the shit. I only use Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect + sometimes Airplay and I never, ever open the WiiM app. Like ever. But the WiiM app is pretty good anyway! No real complaints here. It lets me listen to English radio in the U.S. as well really easily which I really appreciate - but that's just a me thing.

Having uplugged / swapped a few things, it is evident that it is definitely the laptop which is introducing noise into the audio output. Not sure why but it was a fairly cheap HP and must be more than 5 years old now, could be more like 7 or 8.
Right now, I'm quite tempted to replace it with a wiim pro, but i've not fully researched his option and I have limited patience for interface management so that could be a challenge. One of the reasons that I went for a windows laptop + Roon was the plug and play aspect of it.
