Thanks. All I know is that it's a 5 volt phone converter/adapter and usb c plug into the Wiim. I'll find something that will work.

I have three different power supplies for mine - E-Stat 08:01:52 07/15/24 (3)
Main system uses an HDPlex linear driving an ultraRendu.
I also have an RPi4 and RPi3B. The 4 serves as backup while the 3B feeds the garage system. I have both an inexpensive linear and a low noise phone charger which I find superior to five buck wall warts.

  Is there a maximum for the amps or watts I should be looking at? I've seen power supplies with
  1 amp up to 40.so far.
  Specs say 5 volt 1.5A or higher. Is bigger better?

    Not necessarily with an endpoint. The ultraRendu requires only 1A. I declock both RPi units where 1A works fine. The designer of the uR discovered that using starquad DC cord can help, too. And it really isn't that expensive. I began with a DIY setup and later purchased premade cables from Ghent Audio.
    
    It reduces inductance and helps deliver what power is there. Not noticeable on most compressed content but can improve low level dynamics on material with wide range.

      Okay. I appreciate the info.
