You can fix the volume at whatever level you want. It stays where it was before you put it in fixed mode.If you use the fix volume output, is it below the 1.3 volt limit where distortion happens?

- The PW Link updated itself on two separate occasions as recently as two weeks ago.
The PW/Amp firmware gets updated through 2 Apps. The Play-Fi App, and the ARC app.How do you find the firmware version on this thing - do you use the Play-Fi app?
I am curious about this as well...This or Behringer Ultracurve Pro DEQ2496 for room correction?
The way it seems to work is that a toslink signal will override the analog input. So you can do this, you just have to have to shut off the digital source before it will allow you to play the analog input. Maybe not the nicest way to handle this but good enough I would say.May be a stupid question:in my configuration, can I use pw link's tos link in and analog in to connect my cd player and vinyl turn table)? If so, all my sources can benefit of the room correction and teac dac, that will be great!
Great! I always shut down unused sources so it's ok. I will make a test, but I have to buy a new tos link cable, I used cd one for the PW link lolThe way it seems to work is that a toslink signal will override the analog input.

I have used a DEQ2496 in the past to correct for a subwoofer. Worked very well for that application, and with Toslink in/out, you can keep the signal in a purely digital domain. I've long retired that subwoofer, and the DEQ has been sitting in its box awaiting eBay.I am curious about this as well...
Anyone have experience?
Good for you, I decided to return mine since it would stream just fine, but I had irremediable issues using the optical input. At least the return process appears to be simple, so I wouldn't necessarily discourage people from trying it if they purchase it directly from Paradigm.No pops now. Even with the pause/resume which was almost always creating a pop. I just don't get what's going on with this thing. I did not change anything on the PW Link, except that it was turned off for a long time because I stopped using it. Possibly there was an update on the bluesound node, which is the source I am using. It would be nice to figure this out.
jaykay I do not know what the problem is, and hope you can fix it.
I do have a comment. Almost every problem with the PW/Link posted here so far has to do with using the optical digital input, and many of the problems also involve using digital out to a DAC. Many or most of the people with issues are using it this way.
I suppose if you have a CCA and an unused DAC, then why not. But there is no scientific evidence that this route is more accurate than using the CCA analog out (which Amir measures as excellent), and the Analog ins/outs on the PW Link. Most owners who use it this way (including myself) have no problems. Several posters here have given up on the PW/Link because of digital input problems.
So why the problems? The Martin Logan/ Paradigm wireless products seem to be aimed at a luxury lifestyle market, not audiophiles. The choice to include only an optical digital input suggests their primary purpose was to provide digital connection to the PCM output of TV's.
So, if you are able to solve the issue with digital that's great! I hope someone here provides a solution. But if you are not, I think you should consider using the analog input. The improvement that sophisticated room compensation makes in most rooms is tremendous...and the difference between using digital or analog inputs is tiny (or perhaps non-existent) in comparison. The PW/Link will re-sample any digital signal fed to it. So you are not getting a bit-perfect transfer either way.
Going back to paradigm I think...
Gonna give it another shot tomorrow but the sound is shit...sounds muffled and compressed it’s really strange.
Emailed them last nightMy first one sounded like that through the analog in/out but not the digital. I never experimented with it to find the cause though. I still haven't opened the replacement.
