I have a scope so I am able to test these power supplies and do a spectrum analysis of the noise from the power supply. While I can test the power supply I am not able to test the digital output to see the effect of a better power supply on the output signal. The noise from these cheap wall...

I contacted WiiM support and they offered to blacklist my Wiim if I provided the UUID, which I did. I tried to block many domains and like you I couldnt find any solution other than blocking access to internet. But then again, I dont want/need access to the internet. Now I have set it up the...

Yes I could. Was trying to avoid that if someone already knew....

Hi I want more control of the updates, so I would like to prevent auto updates from occuring to either Wiim Home or the firmware. I figure I need to block in my firewall, access to the wiim server where they are accessed, but I dont know the domain or IP addresses to block. Does anyone know...

Asked Wiim directly, they cannot provide, so I was hoping someone had it or a site that had it. I can be extracted if loaded on an ios device using Imazing app. I now use this to back up my ioS apps since the backups that mac provides do not back up apps.

I have been searching for older versions of Wiim Home for ios (ipad preferrably) and have not been able to find a place,. Would appreciate if someone could link me to a source of these older files. Thanks

Is there a way to get this wiim home ios version? I would like to install this version. Thanks

I filed a ticket and was told repeatedly that Wiim will not whitelist my Pro + even though I have older firmware and havent connected it up since March. I dont understand. Was told that the newer application versions also removed casting even if older firmware. So I do not see how to keep...

I just received a much better/more expensive FNSRI FNB58 USB tester and everything now makes sense. A dumb power supply shows no protocol with D+ lines at 1.8V, using the same supply with a cable with D+ and D- shorted reports as a DCP1.5A, like it should. The stock Wiim supply shows the same...

"I can promise you that Wiim devices do NOT run on the 5v USB supply!" can you enlighten me how the Wiim Pro /Plus utilizes the 5V USB power to drive the digitial board? I noticed the audio board has two 4700µF caps. Thanks

What your measurements suggest/mean is that if one is using the Wiim Pro or Plus as a digital streamer only, a high quality linear supply should make no difference vs the stock SMPS. If so, I should stop trying to improve my Wiim Pro Plus with a better power supply! Thanks!

Very impressed by your measurements. Have you compared the bit perfect digital output via coax and toslink using the stock PSU? You indicated that you used a very high quality PS for your measurements. Just curious if the power supply would make a difference for the digital board.

This is a very nice talk by Rob Watts. Thanks for posting. I particularly liked his comment about noise being deliberately injected to make a cable sound better, or more detailed and listening fatigue being an arbiter of that. I completely agree. I have listened to many components that sound...

I have never seen a commercial device (non-DIY) that uses a USB port with 2 wires only and does not negotiate any protocols. That is why I am confused, I did not know these existed. These certainly do not follow the USB-IF standards.

Here is the logic (which could be faulty) - I attached a PD power supply and it connected up as a AAPL 2.4A, 5V supply. How would it know to put out 5V if it wasnt polled to do so? My conclusion was that the Wiim Pro was polling the capability. That was the logic. That said, there was a sure...
