WiiM Amp

It will be interesting, to check if phase of enabled sub out, remains 0° or follows the inversion of HPF out.
Or: what they mean for 0° on subwoofer phase switch, absolute or relative to HPF output?

I will check it later.
 
A pretty good review I’d say, right from the box thru to listening - he’s clearly more versed in expressing how it sounds and how it compares to other kit than I could (well, it’s his job). Glad to see he mentioned the “static” apparently killing the amp as I experienced similar and wondered whether I’d fried my test unit as I was swapping speakers. Took a fair bit of rebooting and sweat till I finally got it back up and running, eventually having to connect it over Ethernet as wifi wasn’t cutting it during re-setup.

That’s a tad worrying being so susceptible to such things.

Me or the Amp? 🤣

Seriously, it is a bit - I thought I'd shorted the speaker terminals even though I'm very careful with that sort of thing. I reported it to WiiM, although I'm not sure they have picked up on it. Hopefully its mention in an article like this will mean they address it - if they can

Not ready yet with the complete reading, but I love it already because of this

"Chip-spotters should unzip their anoraks to consider what they don’t know: a DAC chip’s implementation matters more than the silicon itself: we must consider the analogue stage that follows the chip and the power supply that juices it. But power supplies and output stages rarely come with make/model numbers. There is nothing else to do but put down the keyboard and take a listen."

Anyway it's always a solid and material starting point... A well designed and built circuit generally shows good test results, and this helps to save time avoiding "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", esoteric, holistic and others mystical things... 😎

Hi Dirtmal,

The L/R balance control will be available for all the WiiM devices including Mini, Pro, Pro Plus, and Amp by the end of Nov. Please stay tuned!

Yeah...have the Pro and the Mini. You just gave me a reason to add the Amp to my bedroom setup. Yes!
 
When the Amp goes into standby/sleep, will it wake up in response to the WiiM app? In response to LMS Material app?

If so, is there much of a delay? Thanks.
 
Can anyone tell me whether the WiiM Amp has Squeezelite on board from the outset?

It has indeed - I tagged you last night (well after midnight) to that effect. Indeed, it's how I've been using the WiiM amp almost daily viz.
