You might need to be more specific...
From a quick look I found this on that page "AC 100-240v input", but no mention of dc input.
(Maybe it's there, but I didn't see it!)

Edit: I do note that the first picture of the back of the amp is different from the ones further down.
Looks remarkably like the (wrong) one at the beginning of this thread...

As mentioned above, looks like they used a very old, initial mock up photo which had several errors as explained earlier in this thread. The WiiM amp is mains AC powered.

Hi Wiimer, Team

I wanted to share a fantastic feature of our latest audio system: Individualized EQ Settings for Each Input! This means you can now tailor the sound quality specifically for each of your devices. Imagine having a unique EQ setting for your TV, creating an immersive movie-watching experience. Then, switch to your turntable, with an EQ finely tuned for vinyl's warm, nostalgic tones. And for your digital music library? Set an EQ that brings out the best in your favorite tracks.

now that this wiim amp really seems to be in the pipeline... maybe now it will be possible to shed some light on the peq subject? its enrichment? or the limits finally encountered etc...? concerns pro-pro plus and this wiim pro to come...

You look obsess on peq and wanted to tweak further than 4 band. Maybe you should fix your listening room acoustic then finish it off with peq 4 band. Morrilon, you have so many time on your hand that you have a lot of time to comment here and there. How about some drink? I will bring the .

we continue to see circulating on the net as a "seller" element of these wiim products, the promise of this famous 10 bands... "4 for mini but 10 for pro ...""
I find it quite unhealthy... *

and at the same time any word from the wiim staff on this subject since the release ( august) of the 4 bands... (ps the idea of "10 mono peq bands"...didn't make any sense...)

that wiim engineering specifies what could be well and truly done, or not, or expected in the future... and this "wiim" forum can be the right space to get the right message across..

Well given the Wiim Amp is designed to connect directly to speakers / subwoofer - I do think the PEQ is even more important that with say the Pro Plus where you could connect that Wiim device to a MiniDSP or Dirac room correction product before sending the signal onto your amplifier.

I like that the crossover is configurable and I would hope we could have a separate set of PEQ filters for the subwoofer output.

A SINAD of 92 is pretty good for an Amplifier especially at this price so looking forward to seeing the measurements.

Note: I see a couple of mistakes in the Wiim Amp manual e.g. the diagram on page 7 shows the Wiim Pro Plus and not the Wiim Amp.

WiiM are aware of that and will fix it.

Hi Wiim Amp Team
According to the overview the Wiim Amp has level and crossover frequency for the subwoofer output. Does it have speaker distance (delay) settings too? And if so which?

Do you have wiim amp for beta tester?

 

[Brantome]

Whatever gave you all that idea?

Just arrived and need to get a few things in place to try it out. It won’t be anywhere near what @onlyoneme typically does but from what I can say so far, it comes across as a substantial and somewhat classy item from the packaging (37x26x8cm) thru to the unit itself.

@Brantome
Do you have the possibility to measure the standby power consumption?

Thanks for asking - I might have a smart plug that can give me an idea of that, I’ll see if I can find it.

@Brantome

Using a TAPO P110 monitoring smart plug, the Amp appears to draw around 15w when playing at half volume which is loud enough for normal listening (and maybe a little overloud at 65-70db(spl) according to my phone sound meter app) in my surroundings and with the speakers I’m using. That drops to 6w in standby/off. The Amp unfortunately doesn’t have a physical on/off switch which I’d prefer on a mains unit given where I need to plug it in.

@Brantome
Can you verify a high pass filter when you get things up and running?

I see the Amazon page is now down...

@Brantome The product info suggests that the Wiim Amp will act like a NAS when you connect a drive to the USB input. Have you had a chance to test that function out yet?

Unfortunately not - some personal circumstances mean I now need to be away from home for a period. Talk about bad timing

However, the WiiM Home website states "Plug your USB disk into the WiiM Amp and transform your home into a personal concert hall. Stream your digital music collection in studio-quality to multiple WiiM devices throughout your space. The WiiM Amp not only indexes your music library but also serves as an always-on media server, making your personal tunes accessible anytime, anywhere in your home."

The "always-on media server" description does seem to suggest that it'll appear as a media server on your network, the same as if you had a media server on your NAS.
