    Audirvana/Mac Mini/WiiM Ultra help! (noob)

    Go into the WiiM Home App, and the Mac Mini should be there as an UPnP/DLNA Source. But then, you will be using the WiiM App to select Media or Playlists...

    Multichannel Downmix Support

    The "Specs" on the Amp Ultra Spec page look like they were written by the Marketing Dept (with the Technical Writer locked out of the room).

    Multichannel Downmix Support

    Has it been stated /clarified whether DD support is limited to ARC or also USB/Network Input?? Optical Input are noted as Stereo-only. And the Amp Ultra has the mysterious "USB Audio Output: Supports up to 8-channel 24-bit/192kHz".

    Amp Pro and DoP from Roon?

    My familiarity with Roon is greater (but not Expert-level), and this is the correct explanation.

    Hypothetical Setup Question

    I don't see you mention it, and you were obviously focusing on other aspects of your setup, but... You not only had left and right separated between two streamers and dacs, but also by two different brands of dac chips - AKM and ESS. Did you notice any difference in coloration or presentation -...

    WiiM Amp Ultra Now Available on Amazon!

    The way that the Amp Ultra is presented in regards to the USB functionality is odd compared to its predecessors (Amp, Amp Pro) and sibling (Ultra). Each of those other WiiM devices support USB Storage Device Input as well as USB Audio Out. But (apparently) NOT the Amp Ultra. The available...

    WiiM Home app Windows beta 0.2.1

    1) The Windows (and MacOS) Beta Apps could really use their own Sub-Forum 2) The Windows Beta App shows real Issues with Resizing/Maximizing when more than one Display Screen is available. When Resized/Maximized on the Primary Display, all works correctly When Maximized on a Secondary Display...

    Firmware update for one device - but not the other

    WiiM has never defined how they segment their Staged Rollouts. We know that Regionality is a factor. But I suspect MAC Address or Internal Serial Numbers are also involved - my "older" Pro Plus always seems to see its update 12-24 hours before its "younger" sibling.

    WiiM Pro Plus Firmware v4.8.717458 Update - May 19, 2025

    Does anyone know the basis for the #2 item in the Changelog: Enhanced DSD Playback: Resolved stuttering during multi-channel DSD file playback for smoother high-res listening. Assuming DSD is still converted to PCM prior to DSP & DAC, what is the reference to "multi-channel"?? For all the...

    WiiM Amp Ultra Now Available on Amazon!

    Argh!! You are right... But looking back at the original Announcements and even the current Product Overview for WiiM Amp and Amp Pro reference USB as only regarding USB Disk / Thumb Drives (except in the recently updated specs table graphic). And the recently posted page for the WiiM Amp...

    WiiM Amp Ultra Now Available on Amazon!

    Where are the "audio purists" to "debate" (different use of word) the first-time inclusion of USB-Audio Out on a member of the WiiM AMP family of products?? Has WiiM again committed the sin of "product-class bending"??

    new small adc ...

    Not talking about a Pre-Amp, rather a quality Passive Switcher Rolls SS421or SS32. Else, one can spend Pre-Amp money for an audiophile Active Switcher Manley Skipjack RCA Switcher.

    Seriously? No airplay for Wiim amp pro??

    You need to direct your ire at Apple. It has been obvious that Apple has denied WiiM any Certification for use of AirPlay. Despite the "fig leaf" that WiiM employed late in the marketing run-up to release of the Ultra "that WiiM Ultra didn't have" whatever was lacking for AirPlay, it was...
