My WiiM Amp review (ON-mag.fr)

[VintageFlanker]

Hi WiiM folks,

My review for French audio webzine ON-mag has just been published :

Test WiiM Amp : l’ampli Hifi connecté tout-en-un réinventé, enfin accessible à tous

Un petit ampli Hifi connecté capable de rivaliser avec les modèles de Sonos, Bluesound ou Octavio, tout en étant positionné à moitié prix.

www.on-mag.fr

It (obviously) comes with detailed measurements :

Fantastique, excellente critique, comme toujours.

What I noticed and what especially those days can irritate some people is the mentioning of Apple Music in line with the others. "Services de streaming supportes" reads at least a bit risky.

You're right. Not natively supported in WiiM Home... I asked for another edit.

(By the way and not important, I think to remember you mentioning an upcoming review of the SMSL C100? Misunderstanding, outdated or another senior moment of mine?)

Na, you remember correctly. It was a good DAC... if I forgot to mention that it died about 7 months after I bought it (and has been running for dozens of hours, really). It performed great, tho :

@VintageFlanker Nice review and excellent pictures. My compliments.

I'm sure that this will remove the AirPlay output as part of various performance improvements and bug fixes to enhance overall operation. This lack of communication is not in line with what WiiM are known for (even if I don't care about the issue, personally)

Firmware Update

Do we have confirmation that this is permanent, and not just a blip/glitch? See posts #43 & #44 where the descriptions have been altered.
