I did not mean to indicate that you (or others) did not care for the cast performance. I meant the strange/broken environment of the Google Home app. By who cares, I refer to the fact that even if the Google app goes haywire we stoo can GoogleCast to that device and controlling it with the WiiM...

It may last up to the next FW drop, but who cares?

Also when a new firmware package drops the WiiM device is often (not always) removed from the 'Room' in the Goggle Home app. I agree that the Google Home app ia bad, not only for device casting but other features unrelated to audio.

Yes Ultra USB out into a DAC with asynchronous filtered/isolated USB is superior.

The latest MacOs is Sequoia, not Monterey, but that may not matter. You can Googlecast and AirPlay from MacOS to a WiiM Pro. Both need to be in the same WFi network and the OS must have access to the LAN.

Not the original poster… but in my case, Google app is exactly as the OP described and WHA works fine and casts to Google groups set in the Goggle app.

Use the WHA instead. You can still create Groups in the Google Home app and cast there from the WHA.

What matters... is to find out what the WiiM Sound sound quality is. The A10 leaves a lot to be desired.

Turn off?!? This is a network device that should be on 24/7. By design cannot be turned off.

Not the A10 I have. Never sounded on its own.

Still testing, but I’m finding streaming issues with QC and this latest Ultra FW. Selecting Ultra as a QC node I had a few cases where the stream was not locking with the external DAC correctly, having the need to stop playing and restarting. Anyone heard this?

Is that only on the C10? Never heard it on the A10 plugged in 24/7.

Have it now on the A10. It supports QC, but still has only 4 presets. Even though the speaker only has 4 preset buttons, it would be nice to assign those to presets 1-4 and add more accessible via the WHA.

Black would be my choice - not on the options list.
