    Craving for FF-REW

    Curious, what's wrong with being able to move the slider which shows the progression of the song being played? I happened to be listening to a song as I read this thread so picked up my phone and was able to move playback backwards to earlier in the song and forward to later in the song. Perhaps...

    Wiim pro plus & Leak Stereo 130 optical sync issues

    Have you tried using one of the other Pros in place of the Pro Plus in the Leak system? If that does not improve the situation then that would suggest there is something going on with the DAC in the Leak. (Since you are using an optical connection to the Leak that means it is using the Leak's...

    So what's with the forced 3-day reboots?

    I'm like Burnside -- haven't had this issue on any of my units (Ultra, Pro+, Pro & Mini). Sounds like something specific to your unit so sending a ticket through your app is the best bet.

    WiiM Amp Ultra

    Audiosciencereview.com did a comprehensive test and review of the WiiM Vibelink amp, so tons of numbers and specs there and received their approval. I believe the Amp Ultra's power section is pretty much the same as what's in the Vibelink. I use the Vibelink with a pair of Ohm 1000s and am...

    WiiM Home App v3.3.5 Update – Sep 16, 2025

    I'd disagree slightly -- the original primary use of a VU meter wasn't for power amps but rather for controlling the signal level in recording and broadcasting. For example, on my open reel it was important to have the peaks at the correct level -- too high and you have saturation and...

    WiiM Home App v3.3.5 Update – Sep 16, 2025

    Don't personally have any Audiopro speakers, but this seems a really weird decision on their part. Would love to hear the thinking behind it.

    Qobuz New Qobuz app

    Can't say I've had any problems with Qobuz Connect. It seems to do a fine job of respecting my genre choices when it comes to showing me new album releases. For me, Qobuz has proved to be a very solid way to find new-to-me artists. (And also an equally good way to find which ones I don't like...

    WiiM Mini Firmware v4.6.728831 Update - Sep 9, 2025

    Interesting -- I think this is the first time I've had a unit update on its own. As noted before, this is just an observation, not a complaint as I have no issue with automatic updates. Just leaves me curious as to why yours have always done it and, until now, mine haven't (I have five...

    WiiM Mini Firmware v4.6.728831 Update - Sep 9, 2025

    I received the update. The only odd thing was this one took care of itself in the background. I believe every other update I've received has always been preceded by an inquiry when I've opened the WiiM app on my phone, asking me if I wanted to update right now or do it later. No big deal, but...

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    That's the nice thing about this hobby -- to each their own. Lots of different ways to explore and find what works best for you and your situation.

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    I'd argue that room correction can affect the items you mention. The brain hears a stereo image by comparing the signal the left ear receives to the right. Besides arrival time, frequency response, phase and amplitude are used by the brain. Having a corrected in-room response can improve the...

    WiiM Ultra – User Experience Feedback

    I've never had the remote problems you've had and I have two WiiMs with remotes, an Ultra and a Pro+. And have to say your playlist issue does seem an unusual use case with 2,000 tracks not being enough. Depending on my mood I rotate through a wide variety of material. May be classical today but...

    WiiM Mini Firmware v4.6.728831 Update - Sep 9, 2025

    Interesting how often corporations fail to give their customers basic status updates in situations like this. I've commented often over the years that if you don't tell people what's going on, they'll make up their own story to fill the void. And that story is generally worse than what's...

    Loud tone noise with external DAC via optical out.

    Agree that some further experimentation is needed. Have you checked to see if the optical cable is properly seated? Have you tried a different cable? You might even want to take a can of compressed air and blow out any dust and debris out of the port.

    Headphones

    A suggestion -- I've found that using EQ, particularly PEQ, greatly enhances the quality of any speaker or headphone. That's one of the greatest advantages of WiiM devices -- their PEQ setup is amazingly versatile and effective, especially for the price of the units. And there are a number of...
