    What's changed in the WiiM Home App for Windows beta version 0.2.3 ???

    What does the latest (0.2.3) download of WHA for Windows change from the previous beta? The support page here has release notes, but they only cover up to 0.2.2.

    Windows Beta 0.2.2 - Leaves Zombie App running after App Shutdown

    Just a FYI: I downgraded to 0.2.0, and the background "feature" disappeared.

    Windows Beta 0.2.2 - Leaves Zombie App running after App Shutdown

    I saw that and assumed it had to do with the built-in DLNA server, which I hadn't enabled. I've not needed to rescan (until now), and wondering whether the issue is with this latest beta. In any case, back on-topic, I think WiiM should include a setting that lets us toggle whether the app...

    Windows Beta 0.2.2 - Leaves Zombie App running after App Shutdown

    I recall there being a DLNA server built into the WiiM, but now I cannot find a setting to toggle it on/off. I don't need it here, as I have my DLNA server running from an Ubuntu machine, but would like to know if this feature is still something the WiiM firmware/software still includes? Oh...

    Windows Beta 0.2.2 - Leaves Zombie App running after App Shutdown

    Thanks for noting this. With this latest beta (any others?), Taskmanager showed that WHA was running in the background after I had closed it by clicking the X in the GUI, but I didn't know about the WHA icon sitting in the taskbar's hidden-icons pull-up, nor that it would actually terminate the...

    WiiM Pro Plus + SMSL SU-1

    The WiiM Pro Plus and the SMSL SU-1 are both equipped with the same DAC chip, and should sound almost the same (barring any differences in hardware implementation). I own a WiiM Pro (the version before the plus), which uses a different DAC chip, and although I found it satisfactory, I later...

    WiiM Pro optical ground loop

    What is that multi plug adapter deal? Have you tried something that would rule it out as the issue?

    What was your first hi fi equipment?

    I hate to think about all the yen I wasted in Akiba buying PC and wapuro gear back in the day....

    What was your first hi fi equipment?

    At the time, 1 USD = about 250 yen, so I felt good "knowing" I was getting a 140,000 yen system for less than $600. It would have been around $1000 at the current exchange rate. Of course, being a foreign national, I applied this false economic reasoning often in the early years of my life in...

    What was your first hi fi equipment?

    Of course, when I was a kid in the 1960s, my parents (or Santa Claus) gifted me one of those all-in-one stereo 8-track/record player systems (probably Realistic or Sears), and I played it forever. Nowhere near hi-fi, but enough to help me realize I might want something better when I could afford...

    WiiM Ultra not triggering Smart Strip

    I'm guessing you don't trigger the external amp directly because it's not an option. I don't have an Ultra so I'll bow out, but trying another switch is of course another idea. I had a similar issue with my pre-amp/power amp triggering, so I tried the cheapest smart switch I found on Amazon ($10...

    WiiM Ultra not triggering Smart Strip

    Does your smart strip have an adjusting screw to raise/lower the voltage sensitivity? Oh, I looked at the link, yes it appears to have something: "The unit also features a low profile angled plug as well as an ON-OFF Threshold dial and reset button." Maybe set it to minimum level?

    WiiM Home DLNA Connection Issue

    Hi, and welcome to the forum. I use a different DLNA server app for the music files I keep on another machine, so this might not be helpful, as I haven't tried it myself .... In "My Music" (the first screen that shows when you start up the WiiM Home app), there's a gear wheel icon over on the...

    Wiim Pro bright sounding

    The AVR dac is being used if you are sending it digital from the WiiM Pro, so this "brightness" could be a reflection of that. When you say "straight to the avr", do you mean the roon was connected through an analog input?

    Streaming to WiiM over WiFi (Windows)

    Hi, the WiiM Home App for Windows (beta version, somewhat restricted, rarely updated) has a "My Music" folder that links to your "Music" folder in Windows. It should allow you to stream content from that folder directly to your WiiM over WiFi. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.
