Hi, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask as I’ve just joined the forum having just bought a WiiM Amp. This isn’t downloading, the Amp has the last update but says it’s up to date. Anything I could or need to do here? Sorry to ask a noob question

Thank you for your help
As I mentioned I’m new to the forum and only had the Amp for 24 hours, so still learning.
Loving the product though, sounds amazing through my Diamond 12.2s

My WiiM Amp has just received this update.

So has mine. So what exactly is the phased rollout if we all seem to receive it at the same time? Nobody reported getting it earlier. It would be interesting to hear if anyone still hasn't got the update.

First impressions of Pre-gain is that the gain sliders are dreadful. You can't see the gain setting until you release the slider.

Just seems to be an Android issue, fine on my iPad. Will you submit a ticket or shall I?

Edit: done here, ticket submitted

There are a lot of us who have been here since the first releases of firmware for the mini way back - we learn to be patient and welcome each new free update as and when it comes

Ticket submitted here as well. On the plus side the app does remember the Pre-gain setting

It’s an issue with the latest Android version - I also have v2.10.8 as part of the persistent group beta and the values show there but just as integer values, not the single decimal place shown in the iPad version.

Question about pre gain:-

Is this a true pre boost ? or just a volume recalibration of source

 

[onlyoneme]

What do you mean? What is a volume recalibration?

Pregain is useful if you just click a couple of times and get very loud. Lowering the slider would allow you get more click in gradual fashion. Try lowering it by 3db and see if you like how the volume raise the volume. Mine set -10db because I have high gain amp.
