WiiM Amp

[Brantome]

App question:
I use Amazon Music and 9 Echo devices. I like the WiiM Home App and how responsive and straight forward it is.
I'd like to use it more and wonder is there a way to initiate Amazon Multi-Room Music through the WiiM App?

No, Alexa MRM is an Alexa cloud construct, separate from the grouping in the WiiM Home app.

However, you can cast to an Alexa MRM group from the Amazon Music app.

Wait until WiiM respond and hopefully offer you a replacement

I hope they'll offer me a replacement - it's new and already defective! Apparently a well-known problem.

Send it back to Amazon and buy a new one in a few weeks. As far as WiiM communicated, only some devices of the first batch should have the hum of the PSU and subsequent devices are fixed. Question is, how many are some.

Still waiting to hear when you are going to supply our UK stores since I asked at the start of Dec. They were told by you they were receiving units at start of Dec and were selling on pre order with this date. You failed to deliver and have failed to provide a new delivery date to them. You clearly have them in the UK as you've been selling them on Amazon UK for next day delivery for a while now. I ordered from Richer sounds.

Could you please let us, or the suppliers know when they / we are getting our units.

Currently playing my Amp through Mission 790's and an Eltax sub woofer - although a few years old they sound really good.

I do think you are short-changing your Amp with the Diamond 9.0 though, unless space (or budget) really is at a premium. - I'd be looking at the 9.1 which aren't much more expensive or even the 12.1 (which admittedly are a lot more).

I have Q Acoustic 3020i too but they are too big for the space, so the Wharedale size is more suitable

Having had both Diamond 9.0 and Q Acoustic 3020 in the past, the Q offer considerably better sound quality than the Diamond 9.0. But if space is a deciding factor then I guess you have no choice.

Interestingly the various review sites did not experience this hum. Is there a certain range of PS mfg batch issue? Does it hum during playback? How's the temp?

The Wharfedales arrived this morning.
I have been doing a long comparison between them all.
The Wharfedale 9.0 are actually awesome for the size, very detailed good bass too.
I am very impressed
A bargain and a good match to the Wiim Amp

I received my Wiim Amp today and have hooked it up.
I don't get any sound from my subwoofer. Does anyone have any tips for me? (i have choosen that i have a sub in the Wiim app) but so far it only cuts all low frequencies from my main speakers but there is no sound at all from the sub.

Try a reboot

Check the connection to ensure that plug in on black not white or red, check if your sub is on and volume half way starting point. Reboot wiim amp or unplug for 1 min. If everything else fail submit ticket on wiim app.

A reboot of the amp/app and u npluggning of the unit worked.

Good to hear they are working well for you.

Can you please file a bug ticket for this in the app? A few other people also reported experiencing this issue and needing to reset their amp.

 

[Brava210]

Thanks, They really do sound good.
I felt the need to EQ the Q Acoustics, I have not felt the need to do that with the Wharfedales

My powered sub connected to the Wiim Amp won’t shut off. Anyone else have this issue? The sub will auto shut off if I pull the rca out of it, but when plugged in it never goes to sleep in standby. I’ve tried turning the sub off in the Wiim app but that did nothing, same with lowering the levels on the back of the sub.

Is there any chance that there could be some upcoming firmware update or a settings in the app that i might be unaware of that could do decoding of surround sound and downsample it to 2-channel?
Since it has Hdmi-arc it would be super useful. Now only some of my content i watch on my tv gets sound.

Your TV should be able to do this, I think the Amp doesn't have a chip and/or license to do this.
