Comparison and upgrade decision
The original Amp remains the AirPlay-capable choice in this family, but it is not the documented hub for WiiM Dolby 5.1. Compare that trade-off, published power and keep-or-upgrade logic in WiiM Amp vs Amp Pro vs Amp Ultra.
Decision record last checked: September 12, 2026.
Used-unit identity check — 7 October 2026
The standard retail Amp profile above must not be applied unchanged to the WiiM_AMP_No_MFI experimental/sample variant. WiiM staff’s 23 September clarification identifies that variant as non-retail and associates it with fixed older firmware and missing features. Before a second-hand purchase, verify the exact project and update eligibility. See SPL-WII-AMP-NOMFI-001: manufacturer clarification and scope.
Reassessment scope: variant identity and used-buying assumptions only. Reviewed — retail Amp verdict unchanged. This evidence does not establish that retail Amp support ended; no new device test, rating change or general lifecycle downgrade was made.
