    Casting from Amazon Music app

    Before I bought the Wiim I used a Firestick and a TV as the display. From time to time I'd notice that the sound was very slightly distorted - most noticeable in vocals - and just not quite as dynamic. Sort of warm and fuzzy. I know it wasn't all in my head because it was enough to make me look...

    Also, what do you mean by "better"?

    What bitrate does the Wiim app display? Have you enabled Amazon Music HD/UHD in settings?

    Sound quality when using EQ or Volume Control

    The review was from earlier this year. Are you saying there has been a recent update that makes it no longer true, or that it never was?

    Sound quality when using EQ or Volume Control

    I have no opinion - I merely quoted from the review, but that quote was from the “digital performance” section of the review, so based on that, the answer to your question would be “yes”.

    Sound quality when using EQ or Volume Control

    Maybe not resolution, but: “Obviously, you do not want to use EQ at fixed volume, unless 57dB SINAD (before D/A conversion) is something you are looking for... It becomes way cleaner with volume is unlocked, the lowered at about 95%. This issue could be easily fixed by firmware, by setting max...

    Sound quality when using EQ or Volume Control

    Yeah, crazy low. My speakers at 300w (depending on the room and placement) should produce an SPL of just over 100dB at 4m. (My phone's dB meter says less but it could be inaccurate.) Speakers with an efficiency of 91dB should hit over 102dB with just 50W. Anyway, you summed it up very well. I...

    Sound quality when using EQ or Volume Control

    Every extra 10dB needs 10x the amplifier power, so my 81db (1W/1m) speakers need a powerful amp to get them to play loud. Mine is rated at 400+Wrms/4Ohms and gets almost too hot to touch after 40mins at high SPL. For more normal sensitivity around 90dB, a 50W amp should suffice.

    Haha it was just bugging the hell out of me! Was it worth the frustration? I don't know, but I do slightly prefer using the AM app, not that it's all that wonderful.

    Casting from Amazon Music app

    OK MY PROBLEM IS SOLVED AND THANKS TO EVERYONE!! My Amazon account was messed up. My default store is amazon.com.au, but when I tried to "manage content and devices" it sent me to amazon.com. I thought this must just be what you have to do. I could see the devices there, but this was...

    Casting from Amazon Music app

    Sorry for the confusion. In my initial setup I enabled both Chromecast and Alex, and the Pro was in my list of devices to cast to. In later reinstalls i did not enable Chromecast. I have been delving into my Amazon account and I'm getting a bit confused. To manage content and devices, from...
