WiiM Amp Pro

I would like to run through Wiim device audio coming from Youtube Music, Games and Windows apps (Microsoft Teams, MS Office sounds etc).
 
And I would like a different thing - I would like WiiM to stream music from my PC over the network, but also mix sounds coming from another input.

That way I could get bit-perfect music bypassing the Windows audio stack, which has a lot of issues, but also get dings from my email client and not go through hoops when I quickly open something from YouTube or TikTok or Instagram or Twitter or whatever.

Would something like Jriver Media Center and its WDM driver do that for you, along with an external convertor like I mention in comment #82?
 
I have toslink, no need for USB :)

No idea how their WDM thing works, but if it's just a fake audio output, which it seems like it is, then it's prone to all the things Windows does, with all the APOs inbetween and CAudioLimiter and other things.

When I *really* listen to music and want things to work as they should, I use exclusive mode in... you'll be surprised... Winamp. But then I don't get a ding from my email client, because exclusive mode is, well, exclusive. I found web browsers can actually throw a fit if there's embedded video on a news webpage or something because sound output is not available.

If WiiM could do bit-perfect streaming *and* mix-in audio from another input, that would be great. But I'm not sure if the hardware allows it.
 
Any more updates on the Wiim amp pro? I’m eager to test. Do we know the exact release date ?
 
Still nothing?

It’s strange that the Amp Pro’s appearance at Munich hasn’t been followed by a press release/news item at WiiM’s site on the same way as the Ultra.

I think of it as a sort of crank-in notice. 🤗

Edit; "crank-in" is Japanese English. I think the correct word is "start filming". 😅
 
Just wondering if it can be all that difficult. The new DAC stage, that should be able to be transplanted pretty much straight from the Ultra. The new amp stage, they’ve been working on since before the original Amp was released.

I appreciate that the new Amp Pro is more of a revision of an old product than a brand new one like the Ultra. I could almost see them quietly moving away from the old Amp.
 
That's one thing we don't even know, yet. I don't think WiiM are in a rush concerning the Amp (Pro). Focus will clearly.be on the Ultra for now.
 
From what I've read, and I've scoured for info
The amp has the same Dac etc as the ultra but is missing the display,id pay £30 more for the amp without the display and that really will be the bargain, I've only set my plus up yesterday and am well impressed, hoping it gets better after a week or so, but money well spent so , also after one company tried selling me a bargain ifi ipower 2 for £67 i bought one new on eBay £40 , only 2 left so be quick
