15-20% off WiiM devices on Amazon UK for Prime Day 2024, excluding the Ultra of course which isn’t available here yet. Check out your regional Amazon - and other local retailers - to see if there are similar deals

 

[Achim1811]

Germany for the available devices. Sorry, but no way to bring it on one picture

It seems WiiM is promoting heavily. Note "no discount for the Ultra". Best thing is that non-Amazonians will get similar prices.

Thanks for the translation, I thought it was German slang for someone from down under.

A good one

Apologies for posting in (slightly) the wrong thread, and I have posted this elsewhere.

But a great amp to pair with any WiiM streamer is the Topping PA5 ii (and Plus version).

The vanilla version is a complete steal at its normal price of £250. Today Amazon UK has it at £211.

Have you ordered PA5 II yet?

 

[Temp]

Any deal for speakers that work seamlessly over wifi?

Have you ordered PA5 II yet?

YES!

No offence, but surely you didn’t think I’d spot a golden deal, then let you muppets know about it, and buy them all, before I got my order in.

 

[Wiimer]

When you receive it, can you tell me if you hear noise on the RCA inputs?
I want to know if you can hear the noise when you have it at full volume with nothing playing, I know you can't hear the noise with the TRS balanced input.

Thanks in advance.

It’s arriving today. I’ll check it out tonight if I get chance.

It has arrived…but I’m still at work.

Thanks.
I am in no hurry. Please let me know what you think when you are ready.

Please enjoy.

So here’s the thing.

I currently have a Denon UD-M31 CD player/receiver, which acts as an amp, but also has a sub out. There’s no bass management, though.

When I get the Ultra, I’ll be using Ultra L&R RCAs into the PA5, sub out from the Ultra into the sub.

Until the Ultra arrives, it’s WiiM Mini into PA5, but no sub.

I have a workaround. I have a Topping EX5 DAC/headphone amp which has balanced and RCA outs, which can both be on at once. Again, no bass management, but no loss.

Please be assured. I am not asking for your sound quality review.
I just want to know how much noise is present on the RCA inputs of the PA5II when silent.

As I may have told you before, I have PA5 and TP-RA3.
I like the TP-RA3 because it has a remote and can memorize the volume. However, there is noise on the RCAs and I don't like that. (If I turn the volume up above -20dB, I hear a strange noise coming from the tweeter.)

If PA5 II does not have such a problem, I will include it in my future purchase considerations. In any case, my request is trivial. Please value your time.

Thank you.

Tell your boss you have emergency so you can unpack, setup your device and give us insight of your subjective opinion.

Oh, good man.

I’m on it!

Hi mate, I’ve just done a quick test.

For clarity, the set up is this.

WiiM Mini at volume 100% on Volume Limit and also on the app whilst playing the track.

Digital out from the Mini into a Topping EX5 DAC/headphone amp. Volume at 100%.

EX5 out over RCA into the PA5 ii (vanilla version, not the Plus). Volume turned to 100% (full clockwise).

Into Wharfedale Diamond 12.1s. Grills off.

Ear to tweeter.

There’s no noise, mate. Nothing. Nada. Zero. Zilch. 0%.

After years of amplifier hiss, It’s f*ck*ing creepy.

I’ll compare with balanced outs in a couple of days, but you can’t get less than zero.

I hope you find that useful.

That's a great result!
Of course the balanced input should be the same darkness black.
Thanks so much for your adventure for me.
