It's Apple's fault, not WiiM's.

Airplay is also by far the easiest way for me to output sound from my computer. I just set the sound output to the Wiim device, and no matter where I am in the house, sound will play. It also takes into account the audio delay when watching videos, so there's no manual fiddling with audio/video...

That's right, and I'm still waiting for my salary since January! With all of the money they still owe me, I could have invested in equipment that allowed me to upgrade my own eardrums with those of bats, so I could hear all of the noises my speakers are physically unable to produce anyway.

It's not about the feature itself, but about the priority that should be given to implementing it. If only 100 people really want/need it, but 10000 people will just use the built-in microphone of their iPhone, it won't be at the top of their list. Hence why Brantome always suggests submitting...

The silver version is now 10% off on Audiophonics.fr, too: https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/integrated-amplifiers/wiim-amp-tpa3255-class-d-stereo-amplifier-wifi-dlna-airplay-2-chromecast-bluetooth-50-2x100w-4-ohm-silver-p-18424.html

I'm blowing this statement out of proportion, but standing in line behind customers demanding to "talk to the manager" to complain that they didn't get this week's discount last week (or last week's discount this week) probably ranks among my top 10 most unpleasant experiences in shops. If...

This is like telling someone not to buy Volkswagen because your friend had a bad experience with Ford.

Again, if you'd actually read past the first sentence, you'd know that 99,9% of the time, the fault lies with an easy to replace component that costs perhaps € 1. Lasers almost never die. Curiously that's also the name of an album by Major Lazer, but I'm not sure if they were talking about the...

Did you even read the post?

In case you decide to go for an older (90s-00s) cd player with an optical output, you can even get a defective one (people tend to give those away for free). CD players don't really break unless you actually throw them on the ground. Pretty much the only problems you can encounter are that the...

To be fair, you can't control an IR device without looking at where you're pointing, either. Or if there's a bright light source in the room, or if someone or something is standing in front of you, or if you're in another room, or if two devices use the same frequencies, and pressing 'play'...

I would also be surprised if it would indeed go for only € 399, but to be fair, the only difference between the normal and the Pro that anyone could actually notice would be the improved wireless connectivity.

What are the rectangular boxes on the second picture? The only thing I can find for "CI MOD S" is a website that says it was registered as a trademark somewhere between 1 May and today. https://www.jas-audio.or.jp/english/hi-res-logo-en/use-situation-en

A system sounds like the speakers. There are no other rules. If you like spending money on theoretical differences, go ahead, but you shouldn't scare other people into thinking they also need to spend way more. I have a pair of Focal Chorus 826V, which are actually very similar to the B&W model...

This is more of a speaker comparison than an amp comparison, though. Towers always sound better than bookshelf models, especially if they're in a significantly higher price class.
