Something like the Cambridge audio transport for the Evo. The CD is looked up and the art is displayed on the Amp screen. That would be pretty cool
What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?
A power amp, based on a Axign chip or Hypex class D
Video player is smth completely different than streaming music so either the development of music features stop or company will have to do a big switch/growth.
I would rather see focusing on music gear. Like pure power Amp (not for me as already IOM Ultra was bought).
But smth like cd attachment (with integration with album info) would be welcomed.

The Axign products are just controller chips, not fully featured amplifier modules, right?
You’re right, it takes care of the feedback as well
I understand that axigns also has power stages that work with the controller
As far as I understand it that's its main purpose.
Are you aware of the works of Bruno Putzeys for various audio companies over the last decades? He's been responsible for groundbreaking developments, in particular in the field of class D amplifiers. He's the inventor of the UcD modules (when working for Philips), the Ncore architecture (when working for Hypex) and currently the Eigentakt modules (as the co-founder and CTO of Purifi). His fellow CTO at purif is Lars Risbo, the inventor of the first ever digitally controlled class D amplifier, the TacT Millennium. Putzeys published works include research on how digitally controlled class D amplifiers could benefit from feedback in the digital domain (and I'm sure Axign are more than just aware of this).
So, Purifi's development is technically led by the two most influential developers in this field, but they decided to not follow this route any further, but to fully concentrate on anaogue input class D amplifiers instead. If these two leading heads agree on that digitally controlled class D amps are a dead end, I tend to follow their judgement. Keeping the signal in the digital domain all the way to the power stage sounds logical (and admittedly my main Lyngdorf system is based on this technology) but that doesn't mean it's the only or even the best way to do it.
Finally, it's the result that matters, not ideology. WiiM are sticking to TI TPA325x chips so far (and yes, Lars Risbo did work for Texas Instruments when they bought his company Toccata Technology) for a reason. Just switching to anything using digital input and digital feedback does not mean the results are any better.
Yea, big fan of Bruno Putzeys , I still own a nad d 3202 v2 that uses an UcD module but I ve also read great reviews of the Marantz M1 and the Powernode edge that uses Axign controllers, and I can only imagine what Wiim could do with the great steaming platform combined with these class d technologies , cheers!

Having your posts deleted makes you look like a fool, after all. Like an April's fool, at least.
