FYI, I have a Amazon Echo Link and I have the same latency and disconnect issues too. This seems like a Amazon Music API issue rather than the WiiM device.Went about as well as one could possibly expect. From a sound quality perspective the Wiim is every bit as good as the bluesound. I prefer being able to use Amazon app to stream natively over blueOS although Blueos is a great UI software for what it is. The only issues I have with Wiim is the amazon app can have latency issues with it where I hit next/pause/play and there is a lag. Also after a short period of time when I stop streaming then open my phone and start again it will lose pairing with wiim pro device. Then when I try to reconnect it will spin and say error. So just a few minor quibbles.
I'm consiering buying 2 more wiim pros with how cheap they are and how well they perform. Next up I'm going to test Bluesound node and Wiim pro through a DDC and then into my Dac via I2S to see if there are any SQ improvement comparisons.
to capture these types of subtle differences (if any) it would be necessary to set up a method which makes it possible to switch instantly between different sources, with the same editions of the songs in synchronized play. When, in the throes of generic obsessions, I made this type of check, I caught the differences between, for example, Spotify and Tidal hifi, in favor of the second one, while when I looked for differences between different sampling depths, I honestly can't be sure of get heard.Here is the question of the day! Is there any sound quality benefit to setting the optical output to more than 16 Bit, 44.1 kHz while using an external DAC noting its 96-98 dB SNR (maximum at this resolution). The war is not over on this, I am good at CD quality if that is really what I get from AM. Are you?
I just don’t see (hear) any Benicia above this resolution.
Does anyone know what FW 3064 (230129) changed/fixed?
Their marketing folks, as marketing folks always tend to be, were overly optimistic.I thought that the PEQ EQ would be available as a Mini update on 1/31/2023. What happened?
I too am having Amazon problems- it’s made it largely unusable (for Amazon streaming that is). Spotify works just fine.FYI, I have an Amazon Echo Link and I have the same latency and disconnect issues too. This seems like an Amazon Music API issue rather than the WiiM device.
For what its worth I was having problems withe Amazon Music a few weeks ago - it either paused for 20-30 seconds or skipped to the next track before the end of the current track. I tried reinstalling everthing but it didn't improve. Then after 2-3 weeks it cured itself and has behaved fine since.I too am having Amazon problems- it’s made it largely unusable (for Amazon streaming that is). Spotify works just fine.
Any sign of a fix from either party?
I've had a very similar experience several times with AM and WIIM - WIIM update causes decreased reliability and usability for several days/weeks (since last update), then all the sudden the issues seem to resolve themselves. I assume this is an Amazon issue.For what its worth I was having problems withe Amazon Music a few weeks ago - it either paused for 20-30 seconds or skipped to the next track before the end of the current track.

Does anyone have any problem with Wiim Pro not going into standby mode? I set it to 2 mins in the Wiim app, but still doesn't work. I usually put my Wiim devices (mini included) behind smart plugs but wanted to try my Wiim Pro to act like one and trigger my amps on demand.
Apple Music via Airplay 2I believe whether, or not, the WiiM goes to standby depends somehow on being released by what’s using it.
What is using it?
