WiiM Pro Plus Streamer Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the WiiM Pro Plus streamer, DAC and preamplifier with Bluetooth support. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $219. While the case is plastic, it still "looks the part" as the Brits would say relative to other more famous brands of...

Six minutes is a long time for a firmware update? Didn't he previously work for Microsoft...?

But at least it gets a recommendation, despite not yet being RoonReady... (Oh, the horror...)

Hey Wiim experts, I am having an issue that seems to have begun with the latest update. I mainly use Tidal, with an android phone, usually through the Tidal app. I have always been able to control volume through this app. Suddenly, I can't. To adjust volume, I now need to go over to the Wiim app, where the volume adjustment still works.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Here are the update notes from Wiim. I'm not sure I understand what this means.


What's New:

Per-Source Volume Control: Introducing individual volume control with memory for Aux In and Wi-Fi input sources, allowing for a tailored listening experience on your device. (Compatible with App version 2.8.4 and above)

I would first reboot your phone, turn it off and then on, reconnect to the WiiM and see if that does the trick. If that does not work, unplug the WiiM, give it a few minutes and plug back in and see if that does it. If that does not work, try the old factory reset on the WiiM. I had to do this a couple of updates ago, I use the iPhone. I would also suggest getting the WiiM remote. I bought one thinking I would give it a shot, was iffy about it. Now, I use it all of the time, it was worth the $20.

I tried all those things with no luck. Volume does still work with with Spotify, so this is just a Tidal issue it seems. Strangely, it did work with Tidal once a few days ago.
Can anyone make sense of what that update means, and how/if it might be causing this issue?

Have you reloaded the Tidal app? Maybe delete it and do a fresh download. Also, WiiM has a forum that answers many of these questions, and you can put in a trouble ticket. WiiM is very responsive.

Yeah, I just put in a trouble ticket. I will try reloading the Tidal app.

Edit: reinstalling the Tidal app didn't help.
 
Mine did that once with the EQ, it disappeared, and then overnight, back to normal. It has been fine ever since. No clue what happened, but the only issue I have had. Mine is staying.

WiiM Amp Streaming Amplifier Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the WiiM Amp streaming amplifier. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $299. I was pleasantly surprised by the good bit of weight this small box has. It will help it not slide with the weight of the speaker wires and such. Back panel shows...

The only complaint I have is with similar looking subwoofer out. Looking from above, I thought that was the other input channel and spent good bit of time trying to figure out why I was only getting sound out of one channel

Amir does seem to struggle to RTFM, or just the device labeling, or standard connector colour-coding. Ports are clearly labeled, even in his own pictures.

Randomly jabbing connectors into ports of a new bit of kit is how you break things; most users would be careful with their new toy. Maybe because he doesn't have to pay for them, he gets a bit cavalier.
