Having an HDMI output so multichannel files can be played would be an excellent feature. I have an Eversolo DMP-A6 and the HDMI output is great for playing all my multichannel Blu-ray, DVD-A and SACD rips. Not sure about the need for an HDMI input though. Having an additional USB-A port would...

Just ordered the Lightening to USB-3 camera adapter from the Apple Store on Amazon. It was $29 which is a $10 discount over buying one direct from the Apple Store. Sometimes trying to go the “cheap” route is just not worth the effort.

Well I've realized that my iPhone 13 will not power the UMIK-1 unless I use the Apple Lightening to USB camera adapter linked below that was also posted earlier in the thread. The USB-A female to USB-A female adapters work fine when plugged into my Windows 10 laptop but the iPhone 13 will not...

Yes this would work but I’m being cheap. In the end I might end up spending the money.

I’m positive my UMIK-1 is USB Mini. It’s not USB-C. My UMIK-1 is an older one before the switch to USB-C. I wish it was USB-C as it’d be easier to find a cable...

It's an iPhone 13 with an Apple Lightening plug so it's not that old. The UMIK-1 has a USB Mini input. So I need a Mini USB to Apple Lightening cable. But I've been unable to find such a cable that will also provides power for the UMIK-1. So I have plenty of Apple Lightening to USB-A cables and...

Thanks but I'm using a laptop with Windows 10 so that would not be an option. I should have specified that earlier. I'm going to try this adapter from Amazon as it's just $6 opposed to the $40 Apple adapter. If the adapter doesn't work I'll buy the Apple adapter. Normally don't have an issue...

Thank you for posting that information!

I'm looking to use my UMIK-1 mic with the Ultra for taking room correction measurements. I bought a USB-A female to Apple lightening adapter cable but the adapter does not provide power. Can anyone suggest a Mini USB (UMIK-1 input) to Apple lightening cable (iPhone 13 input) that provides power...

Not sure if this would be relevant to this thread. But I tried playing some multichannel files from ripped Blu-ray Audio, DVD-A and SACDs. Just wanted to see how the Ultra would downmix the files and if they'd sound good. A few sounded ok but a few didn't sound that good. The Brothers In Arms...

Would like to see a second USB port added. Then one can connect an external USB hard drive and a USB output without the need for a USB hub. An HDMI output would be a great feature so one can play multichannel files. A bigger display would be nice which would of course mean a physically larger case.

I've been using Qobuz Connect with my Ultra and Pro for a few weeks. It's been working great with no issues to report. I also have an Eversolo DMP-A6 streamer and the Qobuz Connect implementation is not going as well IMO. Intermittent pause/stutter when a new track starts and a few other...

Thanks for posting that link. I have already seen that and not a direction that I need to go in. I already have a 5.1 system with a processor, multiple amps for each channel and two subs. Having a streamer like the Ultra with an HDMI output would be all that would be needed for anyone that...

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Ryan! I figured it out. I just typed "WiiM Ultra" in the tag box and was then able to post the new thread. I was severely over thinking the whole process. Hopefully the next time I post a new thread I'll remember it. Thanks again!

I'm really interested in if an HDMI output will be added to a WiiM streamer in the future. I have an Eversolo DMP-A6 and it has an HDMI output. It's an excellent feature especially the ability to play 5.1 files when connected to an AVR/processor. I have a WiiM Ultra and Pro in two different...
