Amazon Music volume normalisation not accepted?

[Nick_07]

Hello,

I use the Amazon Music setting "volume normalisation". Wiim Pro does not seem to accept this setting.

Or does it?

Regards

Nick

Follow what @Mr Ee and @Brantome have told and use the native App.
Much better than WHA

But back to the real issue in this thread... would airplay be a 4th way to play Amazon to the pro?

I have used Airplay, so yes but with the limits of Airplay that we all well know

Yeah, but limited resolution, I’d guess 16/44.1 at best like Chromecast, whereas the WiiM and Amazon Music app using AlexaCast support all the way up to 24/192.

I read somewhere, that AMU and Tidal normalizations, work only if a song exceeds given max LUFS, lowering it and otherwise do nothing if a song is too low.
I tried for a month AMU and got the impression it normalizes nothing when alexa cast is used, in the same way how stream data and playing queue are not displayed but I could be wrong. Instead I'm shure normalization doesn't work with Tidal connect, that not even keeps play history and doesn't start autoplay after last song of a playlist.

Well, i don’t know for sure, but listening to a playlist in AMU
with the normalization set activated, I have no sudden changes in volume.
I can't say the same in Qobuz, where there is no possibility to insert normalization.
When listening to a playlist, the volume changes are noticeable and annoying.
Normalization in Qobuz is one of the most requested functions
Talking about Albums is irrelevant

With Chromecast and Qobuz i have had 24/96, but no Gapeless music

Yeah, with Qobuz, but Amazon Music doesn’t seem to support more than 16/44.1 when using ChromeCast

Good to know. Never tried Chromecast with AMU because unuseful using Alexa Cast.
I left Chromecast in Qobuz too since I discovered BUPnP because of its limitations. BUPnP is 24/192 and Gapeless

OK, as I wrote before, I was not "sicuro" about AMU, since the brief use and maybe the specific songs.

Also voice requests to Alexa support all the way up to 24/192.
