Quick question.
Does anyone know if the volume control in the Amp is digital or not?
Cheers.

Alright. Would you buy one and measure it yourself ?It would be much more reliable to test the off-shelf item
The first sample I received performed well in most of the tests but showed quite an increase in distortion at lower frequencies. This manifested in Multitone test and power vs frequency sweeps. I ran the results by the company and they said this was an early production problem that was fixed. They sent me a new one which almost remedied that problem.
NoOff-shelf items are the only real representatives of the products, do we agree on that!?
So what? You said that testing "the off-shelf item" was "much more reliable" and didn't proof your claim.All previous claims can be accepted as true. But it is also a fact that the first produced series had the same specifications as later produced devices.
I'm anxious to learn what will be the other device Wiim introduces at the Munich show.According to digitaltrends article there will be another new device:

My hope is a higher-power, PFFB amplifier that will pair nicely with the Pro, Pro+ and Ultra streamers. Perhaps that's an unreasonable hope, but not inconceivable.
Comparing specs....I have to ask how this would compare to something like an Arcam Solo Uno.
Thanks for the response.Comparing specs....
25W/8R vs 60W/8R is a significant difference. ~4 dB. When you want to crank it up w/o running into audible distortion, it could mean the difference between loud enough & not loud enough.
The Arcam has a higher SN spec: 117 dB(A) vs 103 dB but weighting not specified, so maybe w/o weighting. Amirm measured 105.7 dB SN through the digital inputs. Again, not sure if it's a weighted measurement. Also not sure if the difference is meaningful; ie, I hear virtually nothing from the speakers when I pause play with the Wiim Amp. Even if the Arcam is quieter, does it matter?
Does volume control keep in memory last level for each entry, so that when you switch to an input, we retrieve previous volume level ?Volume is controlled digitally.
You can use this tool to calculate Peak SPL: http://www.hometheaterengineering.com/splcalculator.htmlLooking at possibly adding one of these as a backup while I send my current amp off for warranty service. Curious how folks think these would work with the HDI-1600 (4ohm/85db sensitivity)
