If displaying album art, etc. on an OLED TV, isn't there a risk of static image burn-in unless the app includes some pixel shifting technology?

As a longtime LMS user, with 7 Squeezebox devices, I bought a Wiim Ultra for my primary listening room since it incorporates Squeezelite. However, I (and many others) ran into issues where Lyrion Music Server no longer started automatically (if running on Windows), like the legacy Logitech...

I requested that feature as well, so I can feed my primary and secondary (patio) setup simultaneously. However, I ended up using a Topping E70V DAC with my Ultra, and the Topping has simultaneous balanced and RCA outputs, which solved the problem.

Try The Speaker Exchange... https://reconingspeakers.com/ They're very knowledgeable.

Using Ultra USB out to a Topping E70 Velvet DAC. I have very revealing MartinLogan electrostatic speakers. The Topping, at least to my ears, has much better bass and overall more natural sounding.

Actually, I conducted my own "single blinded" and "level matched" test between my 12 y/o $7000 Bel Canto DAC 3.5VB and the $349 Topping E70 Velvet (using simultaneous digital outputs from a Squeezebox Touch as source) and having my wife switch between the two. The Topping DAC was clearly...

Actually, Wiim PM'd me when I also posted about this, and said it was on their roadmap to implement. That was a while ago, hence the reason I asked for an update.

There can clearly be a difference in fidelity among different DAC's (even after volume matching). However, the chip/conversion architecture is only one component. The analog output stage is probably even more important. Slight differences in SINAD and other measurements are likely irrelevant...

Hey Wiim, any updates on this feature? I presumed it would be an easy update via firmware.

If it had the larger screen, but still included the DAC/analog output (for those with active speakers) it would be the ultimate Squeezebox Touch replacement! I just replaced my SB Touch with an Ultra, but pairing with a Topping E70 Velvet DAC, as I prefer that AKM chip over the ESS.

Still hoping this will be implemented soon, as it's one of the main features I need.

I second the motion to update the Radio Paradise feed for album art. Interestingly, if I stream Radio Paradise via LMS/SqueezeLite, the album art IS displayed!

Wow! Great support! That feature would be excellent. BTW, the SqueezeLite integration works seamlessly.

Just got my Wiim Ultra today, and was likewise disappointed the Coax and Optical (or Analog) outputs can't be simultaneously active. I was planning to replace my aging Squeezebox Touch, but need two active outputs to simultaneously feed my main and secondary (patio) system. I'll either return...
