That's a bit weird. You have ethernet connected but the Pre-gain still refers to WiFi.Seems to work.

Same here. Looks like a bug in the App.That's a bit weird. You have ethernet connected but the Pre-gain still refers to WiFi.
Dunno. Have never used Wi-Fi . I use Roon to adjust headroom for streaming.That's a bit weird. You have ethernet connected but the Pre-gain still refers to WiFi.
I don't think that pre-gain has been introduced to ensure headroom for EQ in the first place. We already had the volume limit for that.Dunno. Have never used Wi-Fi . I use Roon to adjust headroom for streaming.
Right, understood. Just explaining why I don't use pregain adjustment for streaming RoonI don't think that pre-gain has been introduced to ensure headroom for EQ in the first place. We already had the voluz limit for that.
Can you please explain why it has been introduced?I don't think that pre-gain has been introduced to ensure headroom for EQ in the first place. We already had the voluz limit for that.
Easy. Different sources tend to play at very different levels. Not every digital source is using the full swing up to 0 dBFS. From practical experience, HDMI ARC appears.to be noticeably more quiet than e.g. Spotify Streaming. Optical outputs of different devices have different levels as well.Can you please explain why it has been introduced?
I am not sure about it…
“The Pre-gain feature allows precise control over the input levels of individual sources before they reach the main volume control. By adjusting the pre-gain for each source, you can ensure balanced volume levels across all inputs, minimizing noticeable differences when switching between them. This results in a more consistent and enjoyable listening experience, whether using analog or digital sources.”Can you please explain why it has been introduced?

When did you get your diploma from WiiM University? You constantly beat me presenting official WiiM resources.“The Pre-gain feature allows precise control over the input levels of individual sources before they reach the main volume control.

What is then the function of the "Per-Source Volume Control" switch in the same page?“The Pre-gain feature allows precise control over the input levels of individual sources before they reach the main volume control.

It remembers the last volume setting when you used that source. I guess they could still work in conjunction with each other.What is then the function of the "Per-Source Volume Control" switch in the same page?
I understand the differences, but now we have "Volume", "Volume Limiter", "Pre-Gain" and "Per-Source Volume Control".It remembers the last volume setting when you used that source. I guess they could still work in conjunction with each other.
Edit: or by choice, separately.
Nobody forces you to use all. Just use what you need. I like to have a choice.I understand the differences, but now we have "Volume", "Volume Limiter", "Pre-Gain" and "Per-Source Volume Control".
A bit too much, IMHO...
Personally, I fully agree. Per-source volume control never made a lot of sense to me.I understand the differences, but now we have "Volume", "Volume Limiter", "Pre-Gain" and "Per-Source Volume Control".

In particular, I dont' understand well the difference between "Pre-Gain" and "Per-Source Volume Control".Personally, I fully agree. Per-source volume control never made a lot of sense to me.
PS:
And I surely wouldn't give up "Volume" for anything else. Even if Aly volume control alters the signal by definition.
See post #32 above.In particular, I dont' understand well the difference between "Pre-Gain" and "Per-Source Volume Control".
Can someone please explain clearly such difference in the practical use?
TIA
