Am I seeing déjà vu now?
By the way, is the HDMI arc of the WiiM amp audio input only?
Is it technically possible to support video output?
(e.g. playing a music video through the WiiM app)
Answered the question myself. Switched off wifi in my room and only connected the item to power. Bluetooth for the remote is not available without pairing via the app. So a streamer with an amp. Not an ampShort question: If one ignores all the streaming capabilities and the setup procedure, will it work as an amplifier only when connecting f.e. a CD player?
No "why" please
Few things mixed up here maybe? ARC stands for audio return channel, so the Amp only gets fed and hence only supports audio, not video. Yes, you can have a video playing on your TV, but it’s only the audio that is then fed to the Amp’s HDMI ARC input.
The use if the WiiM app is entirely separate and I don‘t believe it can access video files and extract just the audio to play on a WiiM device - I think this question has turned up frequently in a slightly different guise re casting from the YouTube app
The same as far as I can see - it appears in the Alexa app like the others, and you can access Alexa via the remote’s mic the same as the others.Thank you. I understood.
Forgive me for one more embarrassing question.
The WiiM AMP is listed as "Alexa built-in". Is this different from other WiiM products (Work with Alexa)? Or is it practically the same?

Yes, women and men. There are currently two Alexas living together.Ah...Alexa lives in the box?

Necessary! Its stereo! A left Alexa and a right AlexaYes, women and men. There are currently two Alexas living together.
Amazon OWNS a woman? Pfui..It’s a pet peeve of mine when people talk about their “alexas“ when they mean echo devices. There’s only one Alexa (well, if you discount its regional variations/instances) and amazon owns that
The anthropomorphism of a cloud service is my other pet peeveAmazon OWNS a woman? Pfui..
Ok, back to the Amp. Have you tried it yet?But I fear the Guardians of Topic will throw their flashes soon...
My wife is hosting our local Bossel team right now, so one or another beer came to me and I am absolutely not capable any longer to pronounce or at least reading this a... wordThe anthropomorphism of a cloud service is my other pet peeve
No, I wanted to do a first check how it sounds with the above mentioned scenario. No connections yet. To be not unfair to the device I will dig deeper during next week.Ok, back to the Amp. Have you tried it yet?
I found my Swiss Army knife for all these things!Please remember. On the right is a man, and on the left is a woman.
And you can also use this from time to time.
