As a new WiiM customer, I'm impressed at the speed of which they produce SW updates!

I like the new Pre-Gain Feature, well done!

This appears to be a new feature added to the volume settings for Per-source Volume control.


Edit,
I can't imagine how meaningful this feature would be, since currently it is not possible to set the device's default volume..

Is this used with PEQ per source?

If you have high gain power amp like 32db gain, this will help you lower input gain which in turn lower the volume control being too sensitive of getting too loud. I think this take away the bit perfect.

The Audio Help Center article says, supported on WiiM Home App 2.11.0 or higher.
Can anybody see the pre-gain setting on WHA 2.11.0 for Android? I can't.

I think I read somewhere that the Android app would be released next week. My app is 2.11.0 but was released on August 5th before this later one was announced.

Yep. Some info doesn't really match regarding the Android version.

So, you got a newer app version.

Maybe due to some beta programme?

 

[Smartplug]

Pregain is great. Now, I can return line out to 2V where it was 800mv. By lowering the WiFi gain to -3d, it made the volume control much more fine tuned. Thanks wiim!

Yeah, they are working on it.Something different on Ultra that is causing this.

No idea. According to the status on the Google Play Store, it's an old version. And I got the update around 5th August.
