Strange coincidence?

[Staresyj]

I updated the Wiim App this morning, updates seem helpful. However, after doing so, I turned on my system (Wiim Pro - to Topping Dac via Toslink) and for some strange reason (first time ever) the Topping played at pre-amp setting and not DAC only?? I have had the Topping set at DAC only for weeks and never change it.
This could just be the Topping having a moment, but I wonder if it was related to the Wiim App upgrade? Can't see any obvious reason why it would??
Bizarre.. Anyway, I changed the Topping back to DAC only and all seems fine.

No way it could be the WiiM firmware/app update. The TOSlink just has a red light that sends 1’s and 0’s. You may have held the E30 power button too long - that’s how my mark I changed modes.

 

[Staresyj]

Don’t see how holding the power button for more than a microsecond would change the setting from DAC only to pre amp? Don’t you have to access the menu option for that change?

 

[DryTortuga]

Not on an e30 mark I. You hold the power button with the unit off to switch pre/dac. Regardless, the WiiM Home app update didn’t send negative waves to your E30.

I’m not picking a fight ! All I did was power up the Wiim and opened the app, I then introduced power to the Topping e30ii using a power bank. The Topping blinks waiting for a signal from the Wiim, I played a tune and it had reverted to pre amp mode? Don’t see what else I could have inadvertently touched/altered as I never touched the DAC other than plugging in the power bank?

No fights. I’m just saying something else happened. Work with me here. I’ve had careers as both a software architect and a high end audio/video retailer. There’s just no way through radio waves or cables for the app to communicate a command like that to the E30. Some other glitch in the Matrix occurred.

Lol, he may had too many xrated that he had forgotten what he did.

 

[DryTortuga]

I’m not sure what that means and I don’t want to ask

A bit rude!

Well I said it was bizarre! Maybe the cat has been playing with it! Can you switch from pre amp to DAC and vice versa with the remote? I should check that out

Did you ever try plugging the E30 in with an iPhone wall wart? I’m curious if you hear a difference positive/negative between the the two? If you plug-in and the mark II is like the mark I - there’s a auto power off/on based on input.

Yes I have tried an iPhone charger, can’t say I can notice any difference TBH
