My WiiM Pro Plus 2nd sample test

[Markuss]

Thanks @steadyshot! Finally, photos inside the housing
The DAC/ADC analog section is much larger.
The digital section has also been redesigned, see the power circuits - probably for better filtration and noise reduction. A lot of electronics for such a small box

From Hans' review. Linearity measurement with AP.

It's the second V2 version, who knows what V3 will be like

 

[Markuss]

Wow, even the antenna cable is soundproofed in foam. Complete silence

It's the second V2 version, who knows what V3 will be like

maybe a resizing of the power supply filtering regulation etc more in relation to the consumption etc of the akm card (without relation to the previous texas)?

Is Amazon USA now selling the "new" version; or should I wait few more weeks?

I don’t think it is ready yet.

 

[OjoRojO]

I don’t think it is ready yet.

Thank you!

I don’t think it is ready yet.

What’s that based on? I haven’t seen anything from WiiM to suggest that, nor that it’ll be marketed and sold differently. Plus at the end of the day, does it really make any practical difference?

That is my understanding from the testing of onlyoneme. Ok maybe I am wrong . Am I wrong ?

 

[Brantome]

I’ve not seen anything from what @onlyoneme has posted in this thread to suggest that it‘s not “ready” whatever is meant by that. Have I missed something?

 

[steadyshot]

Well, I would say that what you can read in this thread is part of the thorough testing before the release of the improved Pro Plus version.

@Brantome

I merely read that as improved by the updated PSU firmware, not that there was another hardware revision in the pipeline.

But it says testing before the release of new pro plus pcb version. The comment was at Oct 14th

Again, not how I read it. Maybe @onlyoneme can expand upon it as he wrote it.

I would venture to speculate that until present stock is depleted things will remain in a shroud of corporate mystery...
Just hope this topic will not become taboo.
Oh well, time will tell.

My position is that I appreciate the effort of Linkplay to improve the product engineering. There is no need to pretend that all of this, especially when reflected in actual measured performance ,is only done to appease the measurement freaks . The audience understands, they are not idiots .

So in my view this will not harm sales . It will boost them even further because people who did not buy pro plus will now believe it is even better than the reviews say it is . For some it will defer purchasing but that’s about it. The rest do not care .

Let us hope product developers don't adhere to such philosophy.

I have seen a lot of people complaining about noise from coaxial out for the wiim pro. Is this addressed in wiim pro plus?
