Just curious, does the play work seamlessly with a tv (switching sources automatically, volume control over HDMI, etc)?

Wasn't HDMI auto sensing already a feature?

^pretty significant if true. I’m sure a lot of people with Sonos hardware would be happy to no longer use their software. Might even help Sonos sales… Wonder how the new WiiM speaker will compare sound quality wise.

Coax input and and HDMI output with a "now playing" type OSD. Better screen layouts/UI. Better volume knob.

There's definitely an electrical issue related to the HDMI input. I was getting audio dropouts when streaming or watching tv using the coax output into powered speakers and have done a lot of investigating. I was aware of a "fuzzy" electrical feeling when touching the case of the ultra with an...

+1 Would be great to have one-touch access from our lock/home screens to common things like presets, inputs, speaker groups, etc. The same thing could be achieved with iOS shortcuts support, maybe that would be easier to implement than an official widget?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe DLNA streaming was added in a recent update? This should make it possible to stream from a WiiM device to a wider range of wifi enabled speakers (compared to only linkplay compatible ones). Does anyone have this working and can recommend speakers that can...

Yes.

Yeah it seems like a WiiM issue I’ve never experienced reproducible dropouts with any other source in any German home.

Also get constant dropouts from just an ultra when outputting over coax, especially when listening via the HDMI input though also during normal wifi streaming. Had to switch to analog outs which fixed it.

I also have the prickling issue (in Germany too). To make this situation even stranger, I can make the audio on my Ultra drop out just by touching the hdmi cable from the tv to the case of the WiiM (without plugging it in). This is while streaming via WiFi and outputting audio over coax to my...

Not sure if this was mentioned yet but initiating Spotify streaming via Alexa voice command to an Ultra (Alexa, play music) results in no album art being displayed. This is true in the iOS app as well, it says “No music selected” even though music is playing. Just realized this was due to Alexa...

I’m constantly switching between watching tv and streaming music so switching is a must. I rarely need to open the app which is nice.

I have. Disabling CEC/input switching means having to change it manually every time you want to watch tv. What’s your workflow?

I've been a big proponent of album art on the big screen while streaming for a long time and while this is obviously a great step, I think the utility is a bit lacking. One has to turn the tv and Apple TV, start streaming music to the wiim (this has to be done after powering on the tv if you...
