Buying a 2nd WiiM Pro

[Beemer]

I'm going to buy a 2nd WiiM Pro. How do I change the WiiM names for identification?

 

[Mr Ee]

It's hidden in the bowels of the menus...
Device, settings, rename.

 

[Beemer]

Thanks

 

[Mr Ee]

Thanks

No worries. Sorry (ish) for the sarcasm.

To be fair, I was using a different app for a different device earlier today, and it literally took me 3 mins to find the option to rename it.
In that case, I thought it really was in a silly (non-intuative) place in the menus.

And there is a chance it won't be possible here.

Meaning...? You've not been able to assign a new name this way?

When? Amazon day (or whatever it's called) is in a week or so, and wiim will be discounted.
Edit - I would have sworn I saw this (on the facebook group?) for 11th/12th July, but now I can't find the post.
Hopefully someone else can confirm!

Can be greyed out if the WiiM has been activated in Apple Home app.

It's on 11th and 12th July, thanks for reminding me

 

[Beemer]

but is anyone sure that the WiiM Pro will be discounted?

I *was* 99.9% sure that the only reason I knew about the amazon event was from a wiim 'advert' stating it'd be discounted, 'cos I remember wondering whether to get another pro or to wait for a pro plus.
But now I can't find the post...

Japan starts the Prime Day pre-sale today, with 21% off WiiM Pro and 20% off Mini. I think other countries are similar.

11-12 in Poland, for example.
And it doesn't matter because Linkplay do not sell via Amazon in my country.

So maybe I will get a pro rather than a pro plus...
And also the rme adi 2 fs i've been eyeing...

Yeah, mine is greyed out for the Pro but not the Mini and both appear in my Apple Home app.

Do you need the better DAC in the pro plus?

 

[Mr Ee]

Do you need the better DAC in the pro plus?

Yes - I really can't get along with the sound coming out of the pro's analog outs.
Unless I go all out and buy an rme 2 too. Then a pro will do me fine.

And don't think I've not noticed the lack of 'Pro Plus' in your signature...

When it’s officially released, I will update it

I doubt the Plus can even come close to the ADI-2 in terms of sound quality, and there's no way in terms of overall performance or features.
