    WiiM Amp with external DAC and amplification

    I started using the WiiM Amp USB out for all my home office listening about six weeks ago.

    I just started over. It was time to review/curate/update my Presets anyway. It was much easier this time. The GEQ/PEQ story is different. I had some screen shots squirreled away in a notes app. So far the update is stable.

    Reboots & Factory Reset: How To Preserve/Backup Streaming Presets and Custom EQ Settings?

    My Wiim Amp has been spontaneously and randomly rebooting. I have disconnected the power cord and after a few minutes reconnected it. This is not a permanant solution. Question 1: Does a power off/on cycle have exactly the same effect as a Reboot using the WiiM Home App? Question 2: Does a...

    It's possible to use WiM devices as AirPlay speakers. I just posted a guide here. The first response to my post shared links with a similar option and a very different one.
