What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

Looks like he doesn't want to pay for the DAC and digital inputs.

And by not including them, how much would be saved? Not a lot I’d imagine.

If, to save money (removing a DAC stage not expensive here), we might as well remove the screen, an expensive element that requires a lot of resources and make electronic pollution, etc....
We have the information on our phones and tablets anyway.


(does not prohibit taking care of the quality of local regulations...but outsourcing the power supply...whether for the choice of the technical approach, or even distance from pollution, but also for the durability of the machine (power supplies being a source of fragility) is in reality probably a good thing. .. ;-) )

External power supplies are cheapo. I skip on, when I see them.

 

[Aquaman]

Do you think the internal ones will actually be better made? Just that part, switching power supplies often pose reliability issues in affordable hardware...so preferable on these modest machines externally to avoid "planned obsolescence"...

and also offers the possibility to play with different types of power supplies as well...

Haha, I know what you mean and technically I‘m with you.
But from a usability POV external power supplies are just s PITA and always additional clutter.
So I‘d rather pay for a well implemented PS instead of having another box floating around.
If I wanted that I might just as well switch over to Naim.

you're still going to compare wiim...and naim..

Clearly not. WiiM machines run considerably cooler than the egg friers made by Naim.

but nothing prevents you from discreetly placing a streamer linkplay-wiim in a traditional "full naim....
