Hi,

why don't you get sound via HDMI-> MacMini M2 > WiiM Amp

 

[dangermouse]

Why would you want to route the HDMI signal via a MacMini ?

Because the Mac Mini does not support HDMI-ARC?

You can’t - as per the WiiM Amp spec, it has to be connected to an HDMI ARC slot on the source device. Unless your MacMini HDMI connection supports ARC, you’ll not get audio on the Amp.

Does the HDMI input on the Amp support output from the 2nd ‘audio only’ HDMI outputs found on some Blu-ray Disc/UHD players?

Only if they support HDMI Arc which I’d doubt they would.
