All of them, Amir's reviews are more widely read than Onlyoneme's.
Very few people are aware of his review/measurements, whereas a recommendation from Amir carries quite a bit of weight.

Both will generally 'work' but digital coax is supposed to be 75ohm, only a proper BNC cable gets that consistently though.

of course the bnc option is obvious for square-mhz ... but there are certified 75ohm rca at canare, classic now,, design derived from bnc and therefore for coax cable

Supposedly* 75 ohms. I'm sure they're better than average, but the coax connection just isn't as robust as BNC
On the other hand, over shorter distances I'm sure it's all perfectly suitable for digital connections, too.

p
if you are equipped to mount bnc ( crimper and stripper for bnc-coax)... then you will understand why can be certified because a bnc revisited .. (each type of cable therefore has its dedicated socket as bnc)
by its design of course is not lockable.. but invites you to make cables with...Supposedly* 75 ohms. I'm sure they're better than average, but the coax connection just isn't as robust as BNC

For all the power that it draws, I leave mine on all the time. Plus firmware updates tend to happen overnight, so that’s maybe another reason not to turn them off completely.

Don't worry, my review will be posted on August 5-6.
The Pro Plus is not Roon Ready yet.
Looking forward to your reviewDon't worry, my review will be posted on August 5-6.
The Pro Plus is not Roon Ready yet.
I hadn’t noticed the Plus wasn’t yet Roon Ready - did you ask if this was a matter of the firmware or whether it has to go back to square one and go down the full Roon certification route again?
Edit: checked with WiiM, the Pro Plus is going thru Roon Ready certification but they expect it to only take weeks. Once it gets certification, an OTA update will deliver that to Pro Plus owners.

PEQ should be in beta in the next week or so - Wiim really looking like a great platform - while I definitely don't need it - I do think the Pro Plus will be an extremely competitive device.
@Brantome I can't leave it on. We now have frequent power surges. Especially at night and in the morning. You must turn off the equipment. Here's how to turn off the Wiim pro correctly is nowhere in the instructions.In the meantime, I just pull the plug from the outlet. But I don't know if it's right to turn it off like that?

Power strip with a on/off switch, so you can just turn off for everything connected to it?
Ok, fair enough. There isn’t any shutdown option as such for the device in the app, just an option for the device to enter standby mode after a period of inactivity, so perhaps a smart plug is the way to go.
You should maybe raise a ticket with WiiM via their app feedback option for their advice.

Only if they've messed up the update process. Anyone designing for automated OTA updates should account for the possibility of interruptions during update. Commonly that would involve two firmware images - the current one, and the previous/next one. The new firmware is written over the previous version during the upgrade, and only after it is successfully written is the bootloader updated to use the new version. If it fails to boot into the new one it can fall back to the unchanged current one and try again.
I agree but on the other hand the common recommendation is not to power off any device during the update process, and we do not know how OTA updates are secured in this case, ie. if the backup image exists.

Perhaps you need a UPS. Small ones are cheap.
