I love seeing these improvements, fixes and new features coming to the original WiiM Amp, this one super special device that once drew me into the WiiM universe.

I looked at upgrading to a WiiM Amp Ultra, but this WiiM Amp does everything well enough and I actually prefer that it doesn't have any screen.

I usually recommend this model over the others, especially if people own iPhones.

It's only 7 months older than the Ultra

Yes. Plus, the WiiM Ultra is still the flagship model.

1. Sub & Main Speaker Sync: Automatically aligns subwoofer and main speakers for improved timing at the listening position.

@WiiM Team Does this timing alignment happen automatically or do we need to re-run RoomFit to get the benefit? It's the 'at the listening position' that prompts the question as it could suggest a need for some initial feedback to do the alignment.

It is a separate procedure to RoomFit. It appears under Subwoofer settings. It will now use the phone mic or an external mic attached to the phone instead of the microphone built into the WiiM device. You perform the procedure with the microphone in the listening position.

@WiiM Team It is now 8 days and nobody has reported receiving it yet. The 5-10% getting it first must not be forum members

Don't forget to let everyone know once you've got it
Maybe you all should go to the barber one more time beforehand, or at least give that bald spots a polish...
