Hi

I am very lazy and love features like auto-sensing.
So I will share the results of a little test I did on how the WiiM works with auto-sensing.
I investigated how the WiiM device works in three different states

During playback = audio signal is being input to WiiM​
While idling = nothing is playing and the device is silent​
On standby = the LED indicator is dimmed​

🤩 = Worked fine
😱 = Didn't work
🤔 = Switching after about 15 seconds, or unstable operation
[Auto re-switching/Yes] = Previous source playback continues and can be re-switched
[Auto re-switching/No ] =Previous source playback continues but can't be re-switched

My opinions.
As a result of frequent updates, it works more seamlessly than before. There is still room for improvement in Line-in and Optical-in behavior, but at least it is superior to my AVR. (In fact, it is extremely rare to find a device with this kind of functionality, isn't it?)
I applaud the @WiiM Team.

*Switching to Bluetooth input is not auto-sensing, but is an action when the connection is made.
*Perhaps the behavior will be the same for all WiiM devices, but I have not actually tested all devices. Also, USB has not been tested.
*This is not a perfect verification result. If you find any mistakes, please let me know. I make mistakes frequently.
*The behavior may change (or improve) with future updates.


Thank you🤗
