It's back now.Wiim Amp was on sale a few days ago on Amazon, but now it is listed as unavailable and Crutchfield indicates they do not know when the amp will ship. I don't see it on sale anywhere right now. Any idea what happened?
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.”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.
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..
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.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?
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.But... but... I can't put a red plug into a white socket...
