That's disappointing. Not like Amazon to give you a delivery date then push it back

It should be delivered today but last night I got email saying new delivery date. Wiim can’t produce them with large volume as the demand is sky high.
 
Any Solid UK Availability Dates ? - Looking to hook one up to my Q acoustics 3020i that I purchased as a desktop system - just wished it had asynchronous USB straight from my Mac - I was going to pull the trigger on a Mission 778x but will plump for this (y)

Nothing definite - 'closer towards the end of Dec' is the latest I've been told

I wonder what the issue is - is it just that they can’t supply the demand or if there are still initial issues they are sorting out?

IIRC other Wiim products have been supply constrained at the start, and Europe is the last in line to get initial stocks. I wouldn't be at all surprised if demand has been higher than they'd anticipated, though- it's had a lot of coverage, almost universally positive, and as a category, the all-in-one system is much more accessible than separate streamers.
 
here you are on the "wiim forum" , english language...
a huge world success which means that they cannot provide and we have already sold everything?
how many people outside of the people who received reviews for testing have them and can talk about them here?

I wouldn’t mind the delay if they worked on the USB making it asynchronous for direct hook up to a Mac - Bluesound did this exact thing with the Node 130 - via a firmware update a year after its release

My gut feeling is this too - looks like they conservatively estimate the size of the initial production run taking into account the likely uptake. Once that hits their prime market (the USA as is often the case) and they have confirmation of demand, they then ramp up subsequent runs. As you say, the Pro was the same this time last year.

I don’t think they’re alone in being tardy getting stuff to the UK/EU - I don’t know if certification, regulations or market conditions etc are more difficult there than in the USA.

On the plus side, we’ll have forgotten about the delay in a month or so’s time. Hopefully.

Next on the agenda will be how long will it be before it’s Roon Ready ;)

My back of an envelope calculations, if wait times for Roon were the same for the Pro Plus and the Amp as for the Pro, were March '24 for the Pro Plus and July for the Amp.

Obviously one would hope that that's not going to be the case, but I did cancel my preorder for two amps on the basis that I can get them when they're Roon Ready. Patience being a virtue and all that…

Edit: I definitely checked before posting but that's aged like milk...

Where can I find a review of how the amp actually sounds? I see bits and pieces but not much discussion about sound quality,
I really am counting on it being pretty decent.
