What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

Audiophile product? Hopefully, it has all the features of pro plus usb, sub out, hdmi and room correction.

To be really audiophile there have to be ballanced connections! Without some ballanced stuff no product will even get near to audiophile. 😇😝 <irony off>

As long it’s affordable that majority of people can buy along with wealth of features.

No need for that. Better to ad more digital connectivity USB and I2S. For better clocking possibilities and improve on power filtering.

I am quite sure the number of "several" people begging for this gimmick is not big enough to earn money with. The WiiM is cheap and simple. And that is very good. For all the other issues is already enough competition to face. Answers for each question are there. This Amazon USP will not be enough...but we will see and time will tell.

Ok, for “several” read “lots” ;)

Those who frequented the audiosciencereview Wiim Mini forums will attest to a lot of discussion around amazon music and amazon does have a big market share. You can argue that audiophiles have had a foothold in Qobuz and Tidal given the lack of available platforms for Amazon Music HD, but now that WiiM supports it, that foothold has the potential to shift.

A WiiM Amp mono module for Mini

The WiiM amp mono module turns an old passive speaker into a streaming box - just add a WiiM mini.
This module has a dock to which a Mini can be physically connected. You can screw the amplifier to the back of the speaker, or you can put the amplifier on the speaker.
The amp provides a USB-C power output and an analog line-in for the Mini. Speaker output, a solid gain control, a solid on/off switch.
Such a speaker is often placed close to the listener, so the amplifier must be low-noise.

Years ago I built such a box from a Raspberry Pi zero, a small dac, and a Tivoli kitchen radio, but the radio's amplifier made way too much noise, and switching from FM to Aux made a loud pop.

So, btw a surely already answered question: bit-perfect in AMHD still only via the optical out?
And sorry if my opinions had read inappropriate.

The WiiM devices are bit perfect on all digital outputs (optical and coax) if EQ is off and volume is fixed.

And no need to apologise, your opinions read fine :)
 
$99 Pure audiophile Mini Streamer. No DAC, no multiroom, no “frills”. Nothing but perfect streaming. WiFi or LAN. USB output though. 95% of Ifi streamer (practically the same device) for LESSSSSS. Four times LESS. There will be one in every room at audio shows before you know it.
The Mini is such a sound product, so well grounded in the perfectly working software. App is excellent. ROON ?!!
The optical output - you’ll find a cure for it, i am sure.
 
My money is ready for a new product as long the features I’m looking for is included.
 
For the five people in the Netherlands that will be using it?

You should stick to your current product and perfect the UI and the features it offers as well as the hardware.

The demograaphic thaat you're hitting is the audiophile community, so you might want to somehow separate the main PCB board from the WiiM Pro with the DAC to reduce noise, and make it stand out to the people over at ASR, since they can make the market shake and move with their careful measurements that are viewed by thousands of audiophiles.

So make the streamer look good and make further adjustments and optimizations to the internal DAC and input circuitry and then add on software features, i.e., PEQ, amazon HD music integrated to allow greater accessibility into Amazon's IU.

Think about adding full blown DSP a sub pre outs along side RCA left and right preouts.

Otherwise, I think you're doing quite well considering - I'd think that you having ANY success in today's market is a good sign.

Given WiiM allows use of the full Amazon Music app to cast bit perfectly up to 24/192 to a WiiM device, and the WiiM Home app Amazon Music interface probably does all that the Amazon api allows, what further integration do you envisage?

Yeah that's what I mean, the product is pretty good - the only thing that you could do is put a screen on it and give it a better finish.

The product that I use and plan to use is the mini because it has all the features and costs next to nothing compared to other streamers..

The strength is defs in the price to digital accuracy output ratio.
