Hello everyone
I wanted to know if anyone knows how to source the power supply in the picture.
Thank you01.jpg02.jpg
 
Using an external power supply with the WiiM Pro. Not interested in any "Made in Russia" product either.

My WiiM Pro with a 5v external power supply sounds great.
 
Wow, this would be a brave/questionable mod to even think about let alone try. As far as I understand the usb c power connector on the pro is part of the main streamer board with no power jumpers I have seen in photos. The two big heat sinks on this thing are right up against the button board which could cause an interesting effect on that board. I don't see any connectors on this power board to plumb it into anything. I suppose it fills the available space up and would make it a bit heavier ? Hold on .....is it April 1st? 😵‍💫🤣 Got to be a scam .
 
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.

I'm thinking of trying a big 6V rechargeable battery as a Wiim Pro+ PCU combined with a supercapacitor, then evaluating the Wiim sound quality change (if any that I might discover).

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.....

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).
 
Why go through all that and void the warranty when a good external power supply would do great things? That's what I did.

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.
