No "solution" will be available for the current lineup of devices.

But wouldn't all of those be DSP based? And I don't think the $500 Denon of 2012 would have an analog preamp section and the means to (mechanically) switch the inputs from digital to purely analog.

Yes, then you'll be using the Denon's DAC again, but you seem to forget the important fact that your Denon is also digitising the analog RCA inputs. Seems to me that the best connection method to such AVR's is digital through optical, coaxial and HDMI. The RCA inputs are there for convenience in...

Sorry, deleted my comment because I didn't want to speak too soon. I have only ALAC & AIFF in my collection though, because it is managed through Apple Music. I think ALAC is pretty much the same as FLAC though? *EDIT: same issues!! - the bitrate, bit depth & sample rate seem to be incorrect...

Gave this a try as well and it seems to work as expected. By default, the option was turned off, causing the WiiM Ultra to always wake up from standby and switch to HDMI input, along with the TV. This is actually how I prefer it and how most people would expect it to work so I'll leave it like...

Mine has also silently updated. Even my cat approves of the new playback screen option!

That always seems to be the case in my situation as well... I never understood why there's an option in the WiiM Home app to manually check for firmware updates as it always seems to update by itself? :')

Could you verify this in the WiiM Home app? Otherwise you might be having a different issue... In my setup, Spotify Connect is still working from an old iPad and my MacBook.

It's been happening for a few weeks already. Also: it is not an issue specific to WiiM devices. It happens with other streamers as well. Make sure to contribute to the Spotify community post as well to draw their attention! 2 temporary solutions: - disable chromecast service on the WiiM device...

Sounds like you're experiencing the same issue described here - specific to the recent versions of the Spotify Android app: https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/wiim-amp-ultra-and-ultra-with-spotify-connect.8800/#post-161969...

I see! Sounds like the option to ignore specific CEC commands on the WiiM unit itself would solve a lot of issues for specific setups.

Sounds like HDMI CEC will override anything, which seems logical to me. If you don't need the Ultra to change to TV input, then adjust/disable the CEC settings on the TV itself? Important to remember that HDMI CEC (device control) and HDMI ARC (digital audio) are two separate protocols. It's...

Uppp!! ;) Price/performance wise their A5/A7 line of amps seems to be unbeatable. Awesome to see a new offering with built-in PSU and proper 12v trigger implementation, without the bells and whistles like the Vibelink - although I'm not going to write it off just yet and probably choose...

Been experiencing the same issue with my daily-use Pixel 6 (Android 16 official) and a OnePlus 7 Pro for music listening/gaming (LineageOS 23 based on Android 16). Old iPad and Mac's will all see the WiiM Ultra as a Spotify Connect target. Not sure what's changed and why it was changed, but...
