One of the major selling points of the Wiim Ultra is its screen, the purpose of which is, largely, to please your eyes. It isn’t shocking that they’re working to improve that aspect of it. And that said, I doubt that the VU meter is consuming all that much in terms of resources, whether you’re...

Easy answer for me: I use a power amp without its own volume control... so I'd say I prefer using the Wiim Ultra's control :)

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure all your amp "cares" about is how loud it's actually playing -- output wattage is directly tied to the SPL of sound being produced by your speakers. In other words, having your amp's volume at 100 but nothing playing is the same (from the amp's POV) as...

I know there was a documented issue earlier this year where a new version of the Spotify app caused Wiim devices to no longer appear in the list of available playback devices. Supposedly, this was resolved shortly thereafter by a subsequent Spotify app update, but the problem persisted for me...

Holy shit, this was it! I *never* would've thought of this -- I set up input presets before I even had my subwoofer connected through the Wiim (I'd previously been running it off my amp), so every time I used one of those presets, they were turning off the subwoofer output (but when I'd switch...

I have a recurring issue where the subwoofer output on my Wiim Ultra switches itself off. I'm not sure if this issue originates in the Wiim Ultra itself or the iOS app, but both are up-to-date. I'll repeatedly set the toggle switch for "Sub Output" in the Subwoofer menu to "on," then notice a...

Is there any way to reliably set a Wiim device as the default option to play streaming media? I have two Wiim devices, but use one of them about 95% of the time. Fairly often, though, when I open the app to search for and play some music, the app randomly decides that I want to play it from the...

Yes, that's correct -- the TV will actually automatically output sound through the HDMI *as long as* the Wiim is set to the HDMI input, but as soon as it isn't, the TV will automatically revert to internal speakers. I'll try the "disconnect everything and then everything off for ten minutes"...

I have my Samsung TV hooked up to my Wiim Ultra via the HDMI-ARC port on the TV. All works great with one exception: if I switch to music on the Wiim, then pause the music and start playing something on the TV (expecting the auto-sensing to switch the Wiim to HDMI input), the TV automatically...

They definitely aren't "gone" -- still releasing regular firmware and app updates. I could definitely see them being overloaded with work, though, considering how popular their devices have gotten in a relatively short period of time. Not that it's an excuse -- customer service is crucial -- but...

I have no idea if this is even possible given that the Wiim Home app is essentially just a controller for an external piece of hardware, and isn't capable of actually playing music *through* the iPhone, but I'd love if it was possible for my currently playing music (through Wiim) to be displayed...
