WiiM Amp discussion

Alright, got my new device/replacement from the German retailer today. This one is pcb version 5 and I can't here any humming at all so far. That's great.

My Wiim Amp is making crackling/popping sound noises on each next track.
This happens via Chromecast and Airplay, PCB version 5.
Might return my unit.

Someone else has this issue?

No. What's your current firmware version?

Such problems did exist in certain cases, but should have been fixed by newer firmware a couple of weeks ago.

He has a good point, the Wiim amp is an incredible package. Once they are two or so iterations in (probably with PFFB and maybe variable loudness) i'll go for it.

I predict the next model is named Wiim Amp Pro, then Wiim Amp Pro Plus, then Wiim Amp Ultra.
You heard it here first

10 band PEQ is now functioning on my Amp after recent firmware and (Android) app updates. Not sure if this is a beta-users-only release, or if every Amp and app is getting the update.

10 bands of PEQ certainly ups the value proposition.

I think it’s still just beta
