    Log & Display Device Listening Stats

    Somewhere in the depths of this nest of sub-forums there is a list (or two) of the POST Queries supported as part of the general WiiM Device API.

    WiiM Amp Ultra output level issue

    Of course... I didn't start off with "You are WRONG!!"

    Introducing AI Answers in Forum Search (Beta)

    AI (or actually AI Data Centers) also "steal" electricity (in the form of impacted Utility Consumer Rates) as they position themselves as point-sources of electricity usage along already heavily-used Transmission Lines and Utility Substations. While they buy their electricity at the lowest...

    WiiM Amp Ultra output level issue

    Interestingly, the Ultra subforum has garnered a good number of "Wish there were 2x Analog Line-In rather than a Phono-In"...

    WiiM Home App v3.4.3 Update – Dec 12, 2025

    @WiiM Team Interestingly, the in-app link to Release Notes ( "... More" / "App Version" / "View Release Notes") still points to a faq.wiimhome.com page that was last updated for App v3.4.0 ...

    WiiM Home App v3.4.0 Update – Nov 21, 2025

    Don't we all?? Or most of us?? Or is it just me and Cliff?? (does that make me Norm??) As is all too normal for modern products, the User Manual is somewhat vague on usage details whilst the online forum is overly rife with every possible permutation and the real (and perceived) answers and...

    Using RCA socket and Optical at same time

    That - TV Volume issues - is universal. Difficulty with understanding dialog, at anything less than High Volume, can also be a combination of TV Hardware issues. 1) Most TV Speakers are side- or back-facing, leading to muffled reflected sound. This is why AVRs support a Center Channel (and why...

    Using RCA socket and Optical at same time

    I'm not sure of the TV Audio tracks where you are located, but many (most) of us have Dolby Digital or DTS available on even Over-the-Air Digital TV. That, to me, is worth worrying about DAC quality.

    Using RCA socket and Optical at same time

    Yes. You'll want to set the Line-Out volume on the WiiM to "Fixed". You also have the ability to tweak the "Line-Out Level" between 200mV/500mV/800mV/1V/2V to best match the Input Levels of your MA6900.

    Why are recordings from the late 60s and 70s so pleasant?

    There are surely also elements of "selection bias" at play - both in the recordings that you choose to remember (or more recently collect) from that time period; and in the contrasting examples from today's media.

    Using RCA socket and Optical at same time

    In that config - TV to AVR via "headphone socket" - you will be employing probably the weakest DAC of the weakest Audio Component for "basic Stereo Sound" - that of the TV. If you connect the TV to the Pro Plus by Optical (then WiiM to Amp) by RCA, you will be employing the much better DAC in...

    Missing DNS settings

    Realize that access to a full suite of Router Admin Functions is not offered by all ISPs and all situations. Configurability at the WiiM still has its uses.

    Basement setup questions / opinions

    Any number of WiiM devices can be added to your system (at any time) to expand your audio system into a whole-home system. Positioning a WiiM Pro Plus connected via Coax or Optical (and Trigger-Out) to the Rec Room AVR works well to integrate that room into this whole-home system as a player...

    Basement setup questions / opinions

    This sort of build-out is where a single multi-zone traditional AVR still has certain benefits over a "set of WiiM Amps" - even if the WiiMs can do Groups. Do a little research on an AVR such as the Yamaha A6A or A8A. This would do well as a combined system for all but the Office, where a...

    Wiim Ultra - Multiple Vibe Link

    Remember that you could also setup 1x Ultra/Vibe and 1x WiiM Amp (or Amp Pro) in a persistent Group (with the Ultra as the Group Master so you can utilize its Screen UI). You'd probably still want the Trigger Cable / Splitter...
