As yet, the Amp doesn’t have that feature - at least it should mute when switching inputs.
I know I'm going to rarely use the knob, but I think it will annoy me.
And yes, I agree, if that is the only thing to complain about, then it must be good.

To be fair, it did catch my eye but it would maybe have added some design complexity and additional cost. Probably shouldn't have anything on it as its use is fairly intuitive anyway
Yeah, I don't remember seeing the symbol in the initial photos

Only available on the US site. Unavailable on the Canadian site 
Does the Wiim amp (or any other Wiim for that matter) decode 5.1 audio? I dont see any wired audio out connections on it but it would be fantastic if it could decode 5.1 audio and send the back/surround channels wirelessly to another Wiim to drive the back speakers. It would be perfect for my 4.1 setup (with phanthom centre) and I suspect a lot of home cinema users are in the same boat.

No. See the faq viz. “The HDMI ARC and optical input port on the WiiM Amp are tailored for stereo PCM audio. It does not support other TV audio formats like Dolby Digital, Dolby Atmos, or DTS.”

Pity Randy didn't try the subwoofer output when doing his comparison with the V3 / SMSL stack as that should allow the Wiim Amp provide speakers + a powered subwoofer much higher output power than the Wiim Amp on its own.It lasted long..

I'm still not sure how WiiM is supposed to be pronounced. The video above says WEEM, like Meme, while the Qobuz video with WiiM says WIM, like Win. @WiiM Team, which is correct?

WiiM like Win. The WiiM marketing guy pronounces it like that in one of the hi fi exhibition videos. And it’s meant to stand for WIreless Internet Music 
Edit: here’s WiiM’s marketing guy pronouncing it as WiiM like Win while the other guy still perseveres with WeeM, as if it’s anything to do with Nintendo’s Wii…

when you set the sub to let say 80hz, anything above 80 will go to main speaker? Or the main get full range will also adding more bass at 80hz on sub?No. See the faq viz. “The HDMI ARC and optical input port on the WiiM Amp are tailored for stereo PCM audio.

I think that has already been answered both in Darko’s article and here in the forum by @onlyoneme - the lower frequencies go to the sub and /only/ the higher frequencies to the main speakers.

Turn the device upside down - the oddity of that might serve to alleviate the strangeness of the red port. Please let us know if it explodes when you plug in.
