Energy Consumption

Hmmm, I may need to exclude Amp from this discussion though, but here @LucAce states that Amp's power consumption during operation was roughly 11W. I don't know why the power consumption is almost the same while Amp pro is idling and while Amp is running.

All of the data posted here is different and I am beginning to think it is silly to argue based on them.

The Amp doesn't consume much more at normal listening volumes than at idle

How much power do you think is needed for a moderate volume?
And I didn't play Rammstein when I measured it :

Stromverbrauch von Hifi-Geräten - Seite 2 - Nubert Lautsprecher, HiFi- und Surround-Elektronik

How does the Amp automatically wake up from tidal connect etc if it doesn't have it's network enabled during standby?

So I think it means that it is idle...

Again, it was not me who said that, but WiiM Support. So please don't ask me.

Understood.

My conclusion here. I will add a smart tap to Amp Pro and Amp. Now clear that our entire WiiM devices are consuming 15W.

New figures for my Amp
Playing 10-10.3W
Idle. 9.9-10.2W
Standby. 4.6-4.9W
Standby after 2 minutes 2.7-3.0W

With a USB Audio Interface plugged in the figures are 2W higher so I've unplugged that

Some devices (Sky boxes, Humax Aura, etc) have an option to go into deep/eco standby overnight. Maybe Wiim should consider this option.

I'm not sure if it is possible without IR remote controller to wake up device. I noticed that some streamers have bluetooth remote but Power button uses IR.

Those deep sleep options are a nightmare when the device is connected to the internet over powerline adaptors, as it can take as much as 2 minutes for the powerline adaptor to wake up again, and in that time the device has decided it has no internet access.
