Trust me, we all have :love: Big update, worth the wait!

One very simple solution if going with the WiiM Ultra + separate amp, could be to grab the new Topping Mini 300 amp. It features balanced inputs & RCA inputs so you can connect your dj mixer and WiiM Ultra simultaneously and simply use the toggle switch in the front to switch between both.

Yup! Upvoted! This, along with automatic switching to headphone output a minijack is inserted would be a welcome addition.

The Spotify feature will be "invisible" to you as long as you don't explicitly open their app on your phone/computer. It is a simple broadcast on your network, which should have practically no impact on performance if not in use.

When can we expect the accompanying Ultra/Amp Ultra update? (for custom playback screen per input)

Now got pretty much the same thing running with the Music Assistant add on in Home Assistant. I've installed the "Airplay receiver" and selected the WiiM Ultra as output device over UPnP :) My "problem" with the Aircast plugin was that it'll show a list of every Chromecast enabled speaker on my...

Hyped for this!

Yes you can do whatever the native app has to offer... The WiiM device will be treated just like a Raspberry Pi running Plexamp headless Here's a quick rundown of the installation: https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/plex-integration-in-app-and-as-plexamp-player.3008/post-167225 I've now...

I would assume not... Have you taken a look into the new workaround with Home Assistant? Works great actually, all directly from inside the Plexamp app.

Probably just an ease-of-use improvement in the DAC filter selection menu? (note: I did not yet receive an update so we've yet to see...)

Alriiiight, by disabling "queue flow mode" for my WiiM Ultra's UPnP player settings (in Music Assistant), I was able to get artwork and correct bitrate shown on the display & WH app! It seems to be the case indeed that the audio is always going to be 24 bit at least, due to everything being...

That's also explains why it is converted to a continuous audio stream (as detected the WiiM) Personally I don't mind too much - as the bitstream should be identical indeed. And while you can't do any searching/scrubbing through the single tracks in the WH app (you can in the Plexamp app...

@Aquaman 's solution sounds about right to me I know you could probably be using your TuneIn account on your phone/computer as well, but another way to avoid TuneIn's built-in advertisements on the WiiM is to take the direct streaming URL's of your favourite radio stations and manually add them...

Yes I figured there was at least some transcoding going on, since you get the choice to set the output stream format in either Flac or WAV. But it's nice to see at least the bits check out - as they should :)

Probably not, but I don't really care about the fades and the other dsp stuff and enhancements... I leave them off by default. I really like the app (which is cross-platform), the overall user experience and I already paid for a lifetime Plexpass, so best to get the most use out of it :)
