Not even speaking about encouraging : This should void the warranty straight away.No, nor would I think WiiM would want to encourage third party mods of this nature. Are you selling them?
No, I found this kit while browsing the web. https://www.dastereo.ru/t/dorabotka-podsistemy-pitaniya-wiim-pro/160540No, nor would I think WiiM would want to encourage third party mods of this nature. Are you selling them?
Ok, that kinda makes sense of how its all connected up if its installed by them. I still would be worried about those heat sinks on what I now assume to be a regulator so near the button board but up to whomever wants to take a punt I suppose.....It seems the psu kit is to be installed only by the psu kit developers at their site, so it is not a choice at all.
Their PSU board design looks quite professional, the idea to use a classic power transformer is good, the decision to put all of that inside the Wiim is quite contraversional yet. It may or may not be a win, finally. Let's see how popular that and similar Wiim PSU mods will be and what people will say after some time. Also, it costs about U$130 and requires you to send them Wiim Pro+ to make a mod, and receive it back (that's mostly not possible now due to known postal route limitations).Ok, that kinda makes sense of how its all connected up if its installed by them.

Indeed, it is a strange step they did. Something like one of the many other power units (like on a photo below), could be a more accurate solution.Why go through all that and void the warranty when a good external power supply would do great things? That's what I did.
