As I found, none of this works. Alexa cannot find itself, can't find anything to add, and just searches and gives up. Wiim can't either. It tends to prove the rule that no two devices from different mfrs will EVER work together. I am saving up for a gun so I can use either the wiims or echos as...

I do. Wifi > WiiM > optical > Modi3 > RCA analog > Emotiva preamp > RCA analog > Emotiva A300 > Elac DBR62 + 2 powered subwoofers driven from the preamp. This setup seems stable and has been in use since several months ago. Is that clear?

I have (possibly incorrectly) attributed these to WiiM's changes to support gapless playback. The skip, break, cease issues began at the same time WiiM introduced gapless. I have caused some frothing at the mouth here, by asking WiiM to give me a switch to shut off gapless. This has been met...

Glad WiiM sent you this early production sample. You're the right man to fairly represent it. Early predictions for the Pro described an upgraded DAC, but apparently, this didn't occur. But I think I read that the Pro has increased RAM to allow soft/firmware to manage full resolution to each...

Is there a tutorial (or a quick step-by-step, for how to use any of several Echoes, not to play music through, but to select/control the stream on my 2 WiiMs? I have 4 Echoes around the house, and I use 2 WiiM Minis to feed AMHD to two audio systems. If I had a grade school kid to ask this, I...

Don't get so defensive. However, I am a classical pianist. And I used to work on a crew that every week for a decade recorded the Cleveland Orchestra. My boss and I had the asset of mixing by reading a conductor's score. Movements and sections came with pauses. ..... Gapless? Let's say it...

I was under the (mis?)understanding that the Pro had an upgraded DAC. I guess I'm a bit disappointed because I definitely hear an improvement using a separate DAC (Modi3) from the Mini analog output. Ah well, Amir's review showed the Mini DAC to be pretty good, and I'm happy to have 24/96k to...

I asked elsewhere, a question that is answered here, thanks. Bring it on!

I am probably going to buy a WiiM Pro, the value being fair. (I am already using two Minis). I am interested in what data you might have on the new Pro's DAC. The only description I can find is that WiiM says it is 'audiophile quality." Typically, that doesn't say much because there's no...

No. Just no. Those Rachminov tracks were recorded in the studio separately, possibly days apart. In a live concert, the movements would never be played gaplessly, end to end. Never, ever. Have you been to a classical concert? Even cantatas and requiems have gaps. Jazz, the same. I cannot even...

Pe Perhaps tracks should be assumed gapful(?) unless noted in metadata as gapless? How many LPs, CDs, and tracks on files are recorded as intended to play gapless? Absolutely none. Gapless is the outlier. I can understand that some rock fans might like a playlist that they deliberately ID as...

Haha, explain that to Beethoven, Mozart, Liszt, Bach, et al. Apparently AMHD feels they fit in at your next rave. And they get bored part way through a movement, and just gaplessly jump to the next movement. Much easier to jive to... you don't lose the beat. Classical disc jockeys are so hard...

Thanks for the reply. I did send a feedback (I think) on the WiiM app, but it was weeks ago. My complaint with gapless is that I play only classical, jazz, and instrumental solo material (via AMHD). Gapless just doesn't make sense with these. It is unnaturally disturbing to hear two jazz pieces...

Looking forward to seeing it for sale. I'll buy one as soon as you guys get the -- Gapless / skips to the next track / plays the same track on an album over and over -- fixed. Last night (11/18/22) I found my WiiM unusable for these causes. Please let me turn off Gapless. I'm not running a...

Two Minis, two systems: Main listening room: Mini>Schiit Modi3>Emotiva PT100>Emotiva A300>Elac DBR62 and 2 subwoofers. Other sources: AT120 with Denon 110 cartridge, iPad USB to Modi3 for UHD AMHD, Pioneer RT707 tape, Philips DVD to preamp coax input. Bedroom: Mini>Optical>Denon PMA600NE>RP600M...

I have read conjecture (on ASR) that the AMHD on multi-room non-high-res quality is due to Mini's insufficient onboard memory. This inspires doubt as to whether it can be made to work on the Mini in 24/192 in multi-room, ever. Is this true? (This would not be a crisis for me, as multi-room at CD...

I'm quite happy. I bought a second Mini for the bedroom. In the spring, I plan to buy a Pro for the listening room and locate that Mini to a porch/deck system. Like many music hobbyists, I have several redundant systems in storage. Maybe they'll get new sources from more WiiMs. I've been...
