The Wiims do have samba, if you connect a USB HDD to the back of the Ultra you can access these files from computer/TV, so that's a pretty cool feature. I can't recall if it's browse by directory or using it's Wiim scanner. I was testing a 128GB USB stick. But pretty useful feature was...

I don't know how you would control it via that remote but you can control LMS via phone/tablet or from a computer IP control The Wiim doesn't have IR receiver so you wouldn't be able to use a IR blaster. I wish added a IR receiver window so I can use my Squeezebox remotes with it. I wouldn't...

Use the Wiim app to do inital setup of the box, and room correction and for music playback use craig drummonds LMS app Recommend using the artist info plugin, upnp plugin, album art downloader, lyrics, material skin

Yup I use LMS on a Pi, plays 192 24 bit no problem. Superb server and database system

Plenty of reasons why it's superior, you want each of the three channels to be independent, with no EQ effecting the others. The combined L/R correction is bad as the left & right will have different responses. You don't want to use a PEQ for the left & right for it to effect the subwoofer You...

Yes I'm aware of that, however crossover for speakers isn't a brick wall so it will be effecting speakers response to some degree. I do the opposite, make sure I apply PEQ to the speakers that are above the subwoofers response so it doesn't effect it too much >120hz-400hz correction

If applying PEQ to L/R effects subwoofer out, that's pretty bad , as ideally needs to be a seperate channel not just a downmix. Easy to test, apply a cut at 30hz on left, a peak at 80hz on right, and do frequency responses on subwoofer with PEQ on and off. If true then better to look for a AV...

Ideally you want to have three channels of PEQ, left, right and subwoofer. So if you adjust each channel independently of each other. With AV gear, you can do this, on my AV pre amp I'm using the left and right channels with their own PEQ filters. Subwoofer is enabled but not using any of the...

I don't use the phone mic, I have a UMIK1. Best find out where phone mic is accurate, as I've seen someone compare phone mic to UMIK1, and with those results I'd avoid correction in the areas the mic is inaccurate (and therefore makes corrections where it shouldn't be)

Or settings renamed to Roald Dahl like words, like "snurfglagger"

See differences no question what's better Good it's included but I'd only use it as secondary

It's better than nothing but I would recommend other servers. Brother uses it, it's a bit basic when I used his system Much prefer LMS on a raspberry Pi

yeah I could see benefit of a networkable CD player, I have a CD player in the upstairs, but if it could transmit that data to any audio streamer in the other parts of the house it would be useful (until the CD disc is ripped/encoded/rescanned etc)

Not having CD player on my network isn't critical for me, if I have a CD I'd rip it on the laptop transfer over to the NAS and run the picoreplayer/lms rescan. Done in a few minutes.
