Are we any closer to being able to choose our own icons for custom presets?

Absolutely. I use my set up sat at my desk, and using my PC to control everything would be significantly easier than using a phone or tablet.

The WiiM Mini is a substantially better product now than it was at release. Will you be able to add the WiiM Sub?

Perhaps, and to be fair to you, I should have included "in my opinion". But yes, I'd still say most people. I don't mean most people out of the entire population, I mean most people who like 'serious hi-fi', and want a streaming set up, which I think is WiiM's audience. Whilst we have the...

I work in a village in West Yorkshire, and a few months ago I saw a van parked up with my name on the side (builder or something).

Just a reminder, if you have a dub attached to the Ultra, you don’t really have any choice except to use the Ultra’s volume control.

Horses for courses, and we all have different needs, but an Ultra and your own choice of amp has got to have the edgeover either of these all-in-ones, for most people.

A few reviews around for the Eversolo Play Streaming Amp, with the WiiM Amp Ultra mentioned a lot. Here's one from Erin: Seems to think the Play's pluses over the Amp Ultra are: Bigger/better screen, with more options Better build quality Slightly better RC Option of built-in CD player But...

Regarding the necessity for accuracy in delay. Imagine, if you will, someone with a stereo pair of full range floorstanding speakers. They're 2.5m apart, and the prime seating position/'sweet spot' is on a sofa, where the centre is 2.5m from each speaker. Now, the listener puts on a recording...

Thanks everyone. I’m no expert on speaker design, but is this something to do with how they’re claiming 25Hz? There was one other thing, and I’m sure this ISN’T correct, but reading through one of the pages WiiM have put up, they did appear to refer to ‘cabinet’ (singular), but ‘drivers’...

Where does the sound output? Through the ports? It’s not downfiring as it’s sat on the floor, on there’s no driver visible at the front.

I think you need to balance that against the absolutely huge amount of work WiiM have put in elsewhere. It's not like they've been sat doing nothing.

The obvious way to tackle it would be to EQ sub, EQ mains, than change the sub level as part of the second calibration, or immediately at the end.

Is this any different to how other subs with an app on your phone work?

Not an issue for me. ;)
