pretty cool. thanks for the heads up. i thought the WiiM team had forgotten about/abandoned the desktop app...

i think you missed my point, i'm not trying to argue... what you described in your post was aerospace level stuff - that's what i was getting at. i don't think you need that level of damping in a consumer product to combat PCB microphonics that it might suffer from in-room vibrations. but i do...

i'm not sure a $2 part in the WiiM streamer is built to withstand aerospace levels of vibration control. (images of the actual PCBs suggest otherwise) but hey, i could be wrong! but you're right - if they did implement stuff like that (seen in higher end streamers like Grimm etc) then there...

lmao, wtf? chill out man. :LOL: nobody is "staunchly defending" anything... just pointing out the fact that many huge brands have multiple "accepted" pronunciations, which tend to vary regionally. 🤷‍♂️ and you're saying it as if you heard about the WiiM products in a newspaper?? 😵‍💫 So it's ok...

yes, anything with inductors and transformers is prone to disruption by vibrations. SMPS might even be affected more - since they also have inductors + transformers, but since they tend to be smaller and lighter, they can more easily be disrupted by vibrations. also not explicitly mentioned...

people who are saying "if vinyl or CD, then yes this makes a difference, otherwise no": you're missing something... all these devices depend on master clocks to reproduce your holy "bit perfect" media, like metronomes or the conductor in an orchestra. in the WiiMs they are quartz crystal...

Also before you say check out the Amazon reviews - I don't take vine reviews seriously at all. 😅

Yeh but the device was working fine before. So it's unlikely to be a power supply issue that just randomly occurred now? Especially when it's powering on as well?! 🤔

It's not really in stock, though. There are no shipping estimates. They say they'll email you with an estimated date after you place an order. + yeh I've seen the previous posts in the forum. But not a single "professional" review from the usual suspects 🤔 Most often the reviews are even out...

Can't seem to find any new reviews of the product on YouTube or blogs etc. Are there any other forum users that are interested in sharing their thoughts?! 🤔 Have sales of the product officially been paused to work out some problems? Because it's also not in stock anywhere I look, either...

Yeh that would be good to know. Web OS and roku devices ate pretty common... 🤔

Was this device previously working fine?

Wow that's really interesting... I wonder if you got a faulty unit? 🤔 Now I wanna try this for myself, haha! I'm using the normal ipower base model and it sounds good

Wow. Thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity: is the distortion you mention really obvious?! Ot is it a small difference? How did you test this?

not sure it's that big of a deal... almost everyone i know doesn't say BMW properly - the correct pronunciation is SO rare that the wrong one has become the way you refer to the brand. :LOL: + it's just a brand name, afaik so it's not like we're butchering someone's family legacy in the process...
