You see, your colleagues gave you the obvious with a wink, and you, like the latest noob, responded with insults. You're not feeling the blues. This isn't the forum for you; seek applause on audio voodoo forums.

I don't see a matching plug anywhere in the description or the datasheet.
There are various sockets available, so it is easy to connect a standard plug (in Germany = IEC plug) to the Wiim 3-pin connector using an adapter plug. What makes it useful for the Wiim product
P.S.
To answer this, I had revised my request to delete my account, but I still want to delete my account, which is now apparently not possible.

A convertI have gone back to the stock power cord. The fancy Audioquest power cord made no improvement in sound.
I am conducting a fire sale of all my "audiophile" gadgets and accessories.

Welcome back to the sane side of hifi. Remember it's about listening to the music, not your equipment.I have gone back to the stock power cord. The fancy Audioquest power cord made no improvement in sound.
I am conducting a fire sale of all my "audiophile" gadgets and accessories.
One of my other hobbies outside of Audio is PC gaming, and I was obsessed with getting 144fps in 4k, I spent a lot of money on high end PC parts, to realise that it really doesn't matter, I'm having the same experience in the games I play at 60fps that I was at 144, so I've kept the GPU I had a bit longer.
I think there are various issues at work in situations like this. One is enjoying the music being played. The other is interest in experimenting with new toys. That often leads some people to declare the new toy superior to the old one even where there is little or no difference. Being human, conscious and unconscious bias is typically in play. The nice thing I've discovered over the years is that I can get as much "new toy" satisfaction from experimenting with something like an inexpensive Raspberry Pi as from a flashy piece of kit.
Also don't forget we have the issues of visual appearance (i.e. art object), status and snob values that are important to many.

I believe there is also for some people, a "macho" aspect to the audiophile hobby. Big cables, etc.

But that must be some kind of substitute behavior for a lack of success with the opposite sex. Or with the many other sexes. In general, there’s nothing less erotic than high-fidelity nerds.
I agree about hifi nerds. I sold some audio stuff a few days ago. This audiophile guy shows up at my house to buy gear. You should have seen the guy! Oh my. He was not exactly a magnet for the ladies...
I actually felt bad for him.
Going to audio shows is also eye opening.
this is an excellent observation of not only the hi-fi enthusiast, but the 'hobby' world in general
There is also a second factor in play for big cables and the like. That's the old line that "if this much is good, then more must be better." We see this all over the place in areas besides wire size -- distortion numbers, signal-to-noise numbers, amp power needed, and so on. For some it can be an easy hole to fall into.
You know, those darned engineers can design class D amps, get the streamers working right, get the DACs and DSP working, but they just can't seem to get the power cords right. Thank God there are people in the marketing department who know what they're doing!
And you can say the exact same thing about speaker and interconnect cables, and power supplies.
