Anyone has it shipped already for international order?

No, though I did notice the delivery estimate as shown on the website is now a fixed date (before, it was changing all the time and always a time window rather than a set date): December 27th in my case. I guess they wouldn't put this on the website of they can't live up to that. So my guess is the airplane that is set to transport my order is planned to fly some time soon. Also I contacted amazon and they said (on Saturday):

"I have checked and found that your order has already entered into advanced shipping process and it will be deliver to you on or before the estimated delivery date that has been assigned to your order.

Please know that Our delivery estimates are based on item availability, the quantity ordered, and selected delivery speed.

I didn't even get a fixed date yet. Waiting for 2 weeks already with priority shipping selected.

To be clear: there is no fixed date yet in my order overview, but if you go to the webshop of amazon there is a fixed date if you would order a Pro now to my adress. So I would assume my order will be delivered on that day. Would be weird of new orders would be delivered faster than orders from almost two weeks ago

I see now, I misunderstood you. Yes, I can see fixed date for new orders to my destination as well, though my order still has only estimated date range.

Yeah same for me. Hopefully they'll ship it soon and it'll be here by the end of the year

My delivery dates range has been delayed by 2 days because Revolut card operator had declined Amazon's payment as it had been treated as suspicious operation... And Amazon's support cannot retry the payment, I have to wait for another 48 hours. Incredible.

Well I finally received the unit but I can't quite get coax to work. Tried a digital coax cable I was using with my DDC as well as 2 RCA interconnects. Went through all the bit depths and sample rates in the settings. All fail to give me any signal. Optical is working fine though. Might have to dig up my old DAC to see if coax will work with that unit.

Opened a ticket with WiiM so we'll see what happens.

EDIT: Think I figured it out. I think it was on my DAC side.

Received my WiiM Pro and here are some early observations, my routers is too far away from WiiM Pro to use wired connection so using wifi and so far no issues with losing signal. Consider routers in basement and using on 2nd-floor bedroom and the distance is least 60 feet from router the range is excellent on wifi.

Well using Tidal connect been using the MQA core decoder beta in settings and the 24/96 output overall sounds good. I would suggest checking the output under coax since it set at a lower output from the factory.

Played around with the WiiM app it‘s kinda basic but allows the use of there equalizer. I wonder though if I’m using the WiiM dac or my external dac well using EQ, I haven’t found a setting that turns off the internal dac so need to play around with it more. Might be whenever it’s using the coax or optical it outputs bit perfect? Or maybe it’s only bit perfect with tidal connect? Hopefully will have time later this evening to play around more with it.

The internal DAC isn’t used when you use optical or coax output, and it’s only bit perfect with fixed volume and EQ off. And it’s bit perfect with whichever streaming service you use, not just Tidal Connect

I did ask about this in the WiiM mini forum on ASR ... I'm guessing then it potentially lowers the quality / potentially the sound if you don't have it set to fixed volume?

Should be pretty easy to run a test to demonstrate whether one gets bit-perfect play in either/both of these situations:

Equalization off, volume fixed
Equalization off, volume not fixed, set at 100%

WiiM Pro, Volume 100% (not fixed) in WiiM app. LMS->UPnP->WiFi->WiiM Pro->RME DAC. 24/192. Same as fixed, bit-perfect.

canard · Dec 25, 2022

people have tested the "cast" with the native deezer application in "hifi"?
the pro is "seen"? maintains the "hifi "44k/16?" level?
thank you

It was interesting to observe the limits of this test...
did not detect the presence of strong drc at -1db dbfs to avoid digital clipping...

in the end, this clumsiness of wiim was practically more interesting concerning the validity, their limits, of this type of test..etc

(even before this story of drc installed in October because not knowing how to manage the saturations due to the eq mode, personally..,
i perceived a slight degradation in just "eq" mode...
but it is recognized in fact by wiim since the origin.)

anyway the mode "eq on" "flat" has no meaning .. just base to adjust the eq .....
therefore degraded and drc present

hi i got the wiim finally and want to use with lps power supply . any recommendations. i am using an topping p50 lps but its 5v1a only

wiim pro has 5v2a if i use the topping p 50 fr wiim pro any degradtion in sound quality as its 1a only. why cant wiim make better lps for their

products and sell . will be happy to buy

Hi, just set up my pro and it sounds wonderful. I have connected it to my McIntosh integrated amp using a coax. I don’t love the interface on for Amazon Music on the Wiim app. Will I get the same sound quality if I use the Amazon Music app with airplay?

The WiiM has Alexacast support, so you can use the Amazon Music app without the degradation of AirPlay. Just be sure to set up Alexa in the WiiM app, then the WiiM will show as a target in the Amazon Music app.

Airplay - unlikely!
Seems like wiim need an (obvious) amazon setup guide!
Wiim app, browse menu, Music Services, Amazon Alexa - 'register' in there.
Device menu, settings (cog icon), Amazon Alexa Settings - enable uhd.
Then just cast to wiim from amazon music app.
I don't have a pro (yet), so don't know how you can tell the difference betwen casting via alexa vs chromecast.
