Description of this topic

This topic is dedicated to the V200 Wifi only. There are many topics about the sound quality and the compatibility with your speakers. Please keep this topic about wifi functionalities of the V200.
After reading this topic you will know how to control your V200 through smartphone apps, through telnet command lines and through web API ! The API is perfect for home automation and the smartphone app will allow you to listen radio, spotify, tidal, qobuz and many other online services directly on your V200.
I will also explain in another article how to make the amp autonomous with the help of an arduino : it means how to switch it on and go to the right input source when you send streaming sound or when you put sound on the auxiliary source.

There are many version of V200. This topic is based on V200.9 .
It is probably compatible with V200.7 too.

quick review

I.am.d v200 amp description :

2x150w/4Ω , 2x65w/8Ω
amp Texas instrument TAS5614LA
USB controller : CM6631A
inputs : USB-B,spdif coax and optical,jack analogic , wifi (airplay,DLNA and spotify connect !)
output : typical speakers output / heaphone 3.5

I've made a description of the components on the motherboard here :

A really quick review of what I think about the I.am.d v200 :

I replaced a very big Pioneer VSX-527 by this little FDA amp. I'm very satisfied by the sound.
I've got old JBL L100 century and the association with V200 seems good. I was afraid by a lack of punch but it seems good with deep basses and clear mediums. There are many reviews on the web, the V200 is a very good amp for the price ! A good review has been done by Qobuz (in french here, in english with google translate). So I will rather speak about functionalities.

I also have a FX-AUDIO D802C. Globally I found that the FX-D802C has a better finition, a better IR remote controller and Bass and tremble tuning is very useful and don't exist on the V200. It's also easier and quicker to switch input sources. To resume, if you don't need wifi features I recommand the FX-D802C. On neither of the two it is possible to adjust the balance. Shame...

On my Pioneer VSX-527 there was airplay and DLNA that I often use.
The V200 has similar functionnalities : DLNA and airplay are present but it is used in a different way, I will explain it below. A very good surprise : the V200 is compatible with Spotify Connect! It is not showed in the description of the product but it's a really nice feature : I take my smartphone, I launch a playlist on the V200, I can switch off my smartphone the V200 will continue to play the playlist and it is controllable remotely by any other spotify client (on my computer at work for example I can control it remotely, even on another network because it is the spotify connect api which is used !). I also use the jack input of the V200 for a bluetooth receiver.

But a little thing not nice compare to the Pioneeer VSX : airplay,DLNA and spotify connect are only available when the v200 is on the "wifi" source input. If you are on another source you will not see the V200 in your airplay devices, nor DLNA nor Spotify Connect... The wifi board is probably powered off when your not on the wifi input. On the Pioneer VSX, if you are on CD input for example, you still see VSX in airplay devices and you can send your smartphone's sound to the VSX : it switch the input automatically. (It could be even better if it returns automatically on the previous input after airplay ends but I'm a little picky).
The hotspot used for the initial network configuration is not disabled when the wifi connection is etablished so you will always see another wifi hotspot appears when you're on the Wifi input source.

There is a web interface to configure wifi, by default this interface is in chinese and it's pretty difficult to switch in english. The screenshots below can probably helps. Also avoir any firmware update with this interface (you can lost the wifi functionality).

The power supply is a box made by Lenovo (almost as big as the FDA

) 24V, 2.5A

Power consumption :

ON with speaker output -> 7W
ON with headphone output -> 4W
OFF -> 3W

A little disappointed by the power consumption in sleep mode. When it's power off it continue to consume half of the power of what it consumes when it's powered on... May be due to the IR which is always powered to be able to switch on the device with the remote control ? The USB chipset always stays online too.

Goods:

Price
Size
Sound quality
power consumption
functionalities : airplay, UPNP/DLNA ,spotify connect (and many more)

Cons :

impossible to update the firmware on wifi version without bricking the device
Wifi functionnalities only avaible when the FDA is on Wifi source (no automatic switch)
no geek/domotic functionalities : you can't switch off the FDA remotely, no smartphone app to change volume... (see my blog article soon to modify it)
rotary encoder not very precise (I prefer to have one pysical per source it's faster and easier but it is the same on Pioneer VSX...)
Buttons on the remote badly named
No balance
No informations about different firmware versions
No "real" user manual
Changing the volume requires pressing repeatedly on the remote control

Under the skin of the v200 : Reverse engineering

OK now looking under the skin of the V200...

The little additional network card with a little linux on it is very interesting.

Firstly a network scan of opened ports :

Code:

    |___ 59152

OK telnet seems opened take a look on it...

Code:

V200 login:

OK need a password....
Some basic tries... Bingo ! login : admin , password : admin !

By default the display is not optimal... In putty configuration click on Terminal -> "Implicit CR every CF"

Some inforamtions about the filesystem :

Code:

OK now we know that we have a wifi card based on Ralink RT
This card is compatible with openWRT but this is not openwrt with the V200, this is a personalized distrib made by Wiimu

By visual identification I determine that the card is a Nixcore X1 . This card is compatible with OpenWRT but it is not the case with the V200.
This Nixcore is personnalised by Wiimu... And Wiiimu domain name = LinkPlay... linkplay and bingo ! This very interesting, once you know that, you'll find a lots of apps, technical informations and an API ! Each manufacturer referenced by linkplay gives smartphone apps compatible with the V200.

Now I take a look to the /tmp/ folder :

The list of files in tmp folder :

64 bytes from 61.135.157.156: seq=1 ttl=43 time=361.895 ms

There are many ping to chinese websites (on baidu.com) in this firmware. There is also web script to determine your geographic position. I hope this is just for proposing radios of proximity.

These file are particularly interesting :
a01controller_player_status.json -> contains current state in json format
a01controller_player_status.txt -> send the current status, for example : "2,0" = DLNA stop, "2,1" DLNA play , "2,3" DLNA pause ...
cat cur_playback_meta_data -> contains very detailed metadata of the current stream

Smartphone Apps and remote control through API

OK previously reverse engineering taught us a lot, now we know that the wifi board firmware comes from linkplay. If you look on the featured products page you'll find a lot of smartphone apps compatible.

For example the Ieast :

Awesome isn't it ?
Many new features like playing tunein radios, syncing sound between many V200, autosleep, WPS, rename Hotspot quickly ...
And there are many more apps often similar but some manufacturers offers some modified apps, just search for it

And this is not finished ! For home automations fans, you'll find below a guide of the API and a listing of all commands below.
For example to play a stream :

Code:

http://192.168.0.100/httpapi.asp?command=setPlayerCmd:play:[url]http://185.52.127.155/fr/30001/mp3_128.mp3[/url]

To get the next song :

Code:

http://192.168.0.100/httpapi.asp?command=setPlayerCmd:prev

Subscribed.

Please note that D802 measures and sounds better than D802C. I don't know if this is also the case with V200 versus V200 WiFi. Never owned one.

Secondly there seem to exist many revisions of the standard V200, maybe it is a good idea to mention revision number of the V200 WiFi you have. New revisions with different features or changes can pop up in days.

Schmurtz · 2017-01-25 1:23 pm

@jean-paul : Can you delete you post and copy/paste here after my last post (the next one) , just for readability

Ideas

I.am.D, if you read this, here some ideas to improve the V200 :

Add RJ45 ethernet port
On initial netword configuration the first thing to display is language selection
A separate button to switch input sources and volume (a press button for each source ?)
If you don't change the scroll wheel button you must display when we are in "input selection mode" and "volume change mode"
A better power consumption when the device is powered off
Always stay wifi online with an autoswitch when airplay/DLNA/spotify-Connect is used (go back on the previous source when the streaming is ended could be the luxury )
change remote control sticker to have right buttons names Make it possible to let VOL+ pushed to turn up the volume instead of pressing it a lot of time)
include other multimedia technologies in the network board (squeezebox, MPD, sc2mpd (to stream computer sound without delay) ... and let it opened for tweakers !
implement telnet (or web) commands to control the FDA remotely and be able to developp smartphone apps.
Implement a channel balance in the firmware

Great work! I have 5 I.AM.D V200 amplifiers and have had some good success with modifying them. Thanks for posting your results with the WiFi version!

Best regards,
Mike

Hi globulegl,
Did you replace TAS5614 with TAS5624 for power handling, or does it sound better as well?

Thanks,
Mike

globulegl · 2017-01-28 10:08 am

Hi Mike

I remplace it for the power handling , distorsion ans sound is better.

Gérald.

As much as I like your modifications, you can hardly call this a V200 anymore when even the amplifier chip has been replaced.

Hello friends. This amplifier is very interesting and functional. But one disadvantage it frustrates me - when connecting via DLNA/Airplay not working volume control. Have you solved this problem?

Fidel Costar · 2017-09-06 2:58 pm

Hi Schmurtz,

Your link "User manual" only opens the WiFi part. Is it possible to get the complete user manual ?

Thanks,

I am not seeing it as a device on Spotify connect, is it a speaker, computer or TV?

Oh, now I see that Spotify Connect is a premium feature and I'm using the free version? That's probably it? (note- android phone)

I've had this thing in my garage for over 2 years now, maybe 3 years. I must have gotten it when it first came out. Still working but I only use it about 4 times a year. I tried moving it to a new network today and searched for a manual online and found this thread.

- The tiny little guy does get hot when playing at normal levels.
- the volume control is weird, when you rotate it up the level goes up and then falls. So say you are are volume =90 and you turn clockwise, it goes from say 90-93-89-90-93-91-94 all while turning slowly clockwise. Turning counterclockwise has the same effect but in reverse. As a result you have to turn it a lot to make it go higher or lower. Its kind of funny, just when you think you are there one more click undoes your changes.
- the remote volume control has no continuous mode, you have to press the button one time every time. Lots of clicking from 0 to 90.
- the gain is low, thanks for the tip on the +20db mode.
- the device does show up as a speaker option on Apple Airplay enabled devices. So you can cast via Airplay from Apple ipad mini for example to the i.am.d. One of the few ways to cast internet radio apps to a remote speaker.
- the text on the remote is inaccurate or lets say not precise for some of the buttons, don't have it here so can't go into detail. I think the one that switches inputs is labeled in an interesting manner.

I have version 2 and when you use Airplay both the device volume and the amp volume are functional- can use either one or both. Have not tried DLNA. Just confirmed with Pandora, Tunein Radio, Google Play Music and iHeart Radio as well as Apple music player.

USB Audio

Just a mention about the USB input and portable devices. The I.am.D works great to decode digital audio via USB with portable Android/ Apple devices as discussed below.

Android- To output digital audio from an Android device- I.am.D. works fine with an "OTG" cable and my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. All audio from spotify/pandora, etc... playing on the phone is digitally output and decoded by the I.am.D. via USB connection. Android device-->OTG cable-->USB cable-->I.am.D.

For Apple IOS- also works fine. Instead of an OTG cable use the camera connect kit. I have Apple part MD821AM/A connected to my ipad mini, then the I.am.D, via USB. This works great, all audio on the iPad is output digitally and decoded via USB on the I.am.D. IOS Device-->camera connect kit-->USB cable--->I.am.D

It has been reported that the USB handshake protocol for IOS devices must indicate <5mA consumption in order to enable USB connectivity. I have 2 stand-alone AC powered DACS that (apparently via error message) exceed this threshold and need to be fooled with a hub. The I.am.D doesn't need to be tricked, so it must report low or no current consumption to connected USB devices. Maybe this is evident from the extracted FW code posted earlier?

FYI- in order to trick an IOS device (if you need to), connect a passive hub to the camera connect kit. The hub (if its the right kind configured from the factory the right way) will report no power consumption to the IOS device and everything **should** work fine. I used this hub.
Plugable USB Hub.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I'm looking for a wifi amp like this. This thread hasn't been updated for years can I assume there is now a better Chinese wifi amp like this out there now and thats why this is no longer active?
