Ultra plus, if car naming is anything to go by :P

No. I did note that I had open the posts to fully open for my bananas to fit properly.

I'm having an issue with this, but with Spotify Connect on the Wiim Amp Pro, my pc can connect to the amp just fine, but the app can't from my phone. The issue is not with spotify app, as it connects to my pro plus and the tv just fine. Any advice would be appreciated. the Wiim does work fine...

The WiiM app can control your Ultra over the local network, pretty sure it functions fine if the wifi is up but the internet is down.

This simply isn't true, huge parts of my house would be offline without powerline, and powerline is both faster and more stable than wifi even in the parts that wifi does reach. As for noise, networking signals are ordered of magnitude away from the audio spectrum so there's no chance any noise...

True, but less so with “traditional” hifi. My 1972 Sherwood s7200 is as well supported as it was in 1972. The “computer drive” in my vintage technics I can still get serviced locally, same for my bigger amps. RCA is not going away. It doesn’t matter so much with Wiim even if the app does stop...

Not enough audiophile grade copper in your burner. All jokes aside anything like that should be looked at by a qualified professional. Gas is no joke

Is this the fault of tidal, I notice some of thier older recordings have pops as if the source was a vinyl record. I know some of my tests are tidal’s source as they’re also audible from my pc with its own headphones that isn’t connected to the wiims at all.

This isn't true, most 90s and 2000s cds contain something called CD text, though few players can read them.

Buy any used cd player with an optical output, it'll come with a better remote, read cds better and be far cheaper. I have one of my moderate sized technics collection connected to my WiiM amp which is from the 80s and was $4 second hand, plays cds perfectly, uses the WiiM's dac so it's age...

Actually depending on how often they're used, and how many hours are recommended, they might not be :P

The room is the biggest part of any system, upgrade it and you may never need to upgrade anything else. As it's expensive to upgrade a room, and will probably destroy it's aesthetic value, room correction is a good second option.

As a bit of a long shot, perhaps you can cast the app you're using to your tv, and also use the connect to send the audio to the wiim? Might try this with Tidal later.

Things like monitor loops, EQ, loudness curves, and even quad sound were indeed invented in the 70s (and before), however streaming was not part of the audio scene in the 70s, so people who know a lot about streaming, but perhaps not much about hifi, are as valuable as those who know about hifi...

Pretty sure composite is still more common than VGA :P
