You do realize that the "culprit" leading to the missing functionality that your cult demands is, almost certainly, the deity: Apple itself? Its not like Wiim doesn't know how to implement Airplay (they've obviously done it in the past) or that the product lacks necessary hardware. Or that...

Wiim's answer from Dec. 2023 did not assume that all four speakers "stay at 8 ohm." Their guidance was quite clear: powering nominally 8 ohm speakers in parallel (ie, four speakers in total) is OK and should not present any problems for the Amp, essentially because a pair of nominally 8 ohm...

The Amp Pro was announced over 4 months ago, early in May.

Its unclear to me what Dolby "support" will provide and/or why it is needed. How or when would the Amp even receive Dolby encoded content? My LG television only provides one option for the audio output when using HDMI Arc: PCM. If the amp receives PCM, there in no Dolby to decode. If I...

Its live on US Amazon now. $379. Releases Sept 25. EDIT: noticed in the description it says "supports Dolby Digital Audio." Did I miss this feature in earlier discussions, or is this news?

I look at your calibration curve and conclude its proof a calibration file is not needed. The curve you posted is flat +/- 0.5db. My own UMIK calibration is also +/- 0.5db and the curve is shaped largely the same as yours. I don't see where you're arriving at +/- 1.5db unless you are...

Didn't have a C-to-C cable handy and the UMIK ships w/ only a C to A. So I found a Google A to C adapter in a drawer.

Is this being discussed in some other thread somewhere? I thought I had been following this fairly closely but hadn't noticed discussions of Android w/ external mics. Do we know if Wiim "wants" the UMIK to be placed pointed at the ceiling vs pointed at the speakers? Pointed to the ceiling is...

Answering my own question. Found my mis-placed USB-A/USB-C adapter and plugged my UMIK-1 into my Pixel 3. Initially I got the same readings, and still had the "built-in microphone" statement. But then I gave the adapter a wiggle, the blue light lit up on the UMIK, and I did another...

Just received an Amp firmware update today and noticed that I've now got independent PEQ for L/R and also have a Room Correction option in the Android app. At least I think this is all new . . . or has the RC been available on Android for a while and I never noticed?? When doing correction...

Try attaching any standard non-ARC HDMI source to it (a DVD player, a streaming dongle, whatever) and you will come to a different conclusion. It cannot interoperate with any of those sources. Even audio only content from those sources (playing a CD in the DVD player) won't play though this...

Isn't this a fundamental "risk" when using HDMI ARC as the source for a stereo amplifier, regardless of what amp that may be? My perception is content sources differ in how they choose to "mix" a stereo output from a native 5.1 (or higher) original audio tracks. So you may get more or less...

I'm not arguing that no one needs or values a remote. I was just pointing out that a new remote wasn't necessarily required to get full use of the Ultra. Personally, I haven't even bother linking my Wiim remote after several months of use of Mini, Pro+ and Amp. Goes to show how different two...

Surely the app will provide for easy changes/adjustments for the display (presuming that the display even has configurable elements).

I think a modestly priced standalone power amp, higher power than the Amp and w/ PFFB, would be a logical addition to the Wiim lineup. Priced between $150 and $200, ideally. It would complement the Pro, Pro+ and Ultra, which is a pretty good "upsell" / plus-one marketing opportunity for Wiim...
