What is that multi plug adapter deal? Have you tried something that would rule it out as the issue?

I hate to think about all the yen I wasted in Akiba buying PC and wapuro gear back in the day....

At the time, 1 USD = about 250 yen, so I felt good "knowing" I was getting a 140,000 yen system for less than $600. It would have been around $1000 at the current exchange rate. Of course, being a foreign national, I applied this false economic reasoning often in the early years of my life in...

Of course, when I was a kid in the 1960s, my parents (or Santa Claus) gifted me one of those all-in-one stereo 8-track/record player systems (probably Realistic or Sears), and I played it forever. Nowhere near hi-fi, but enough to help me realize I might want something better when I could afford...

I'm guessing you don't trigger the external amp directly because it's not an option. I don't have an Ultra so I'll bow out, but trying another switch is of course another idea. I had a similar issue with my pre-amp/power amp triggering, so I tried the cheapest smart switch I found on Amazon ($10...

Does your smart strip have an adjusting screw to raise/lower the voltage sensitivity? Oh, I looked at the link, yes it appears to have something: "The unit also features a low profile angled plug as well as an ON-OFF Threshold dial and reset button." Maybe set it to minimum level?

Hi, and welcome to the forum. I use a different DLNA server app for the music files I keep on another machine, so this might not be helpful, as I haven't tried it myself .... In "My Music" (the first screen that shows when you start up the WiiM Home app), there's a gear wheel icon over on the...

The AVR dac is being used if you are sending it digital from the WiiM Pro, so this "brightness" could be a reflection of that. When you say "straight to the avr", do you mean the roon was connected through an analog input?

Hi, the WiiM Home App for Windows (beta version, somewhat restricted, rarely updated) has a "My Music" folder that links to your "Music" folder in Windows. It should allow you to stream content from that folder directly to your WiiM over WiFi. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

Me too, but the wait has been long.

You can probably run the turntable through the rca line in jacks on the back of the WiiM, but you'll likely need a phono preamp in between, as the WiiM doesn't have one built-in. Not certain myself how this would sound, or whether the analog signal in from the TT is converted twice = from analog...

I only have a Pro, so someone with an Ultra will need to step in. In the meanwhile, have you tried adjusting the line out voltage settings on the Ultra, or the line in settings on the input device? Tried a different set of RCA cables? That said, I can't even guess why they would want a video...

Let's see if this forum can help you. It may be hardware as you've stated, but describe the issue in as much detail as possible. Judging from your mention of a $350 unit, this is an Ultra, or?

Very occasionally, this happens to me, too. I basically have to reboot the DLNA server (a linux machine running Universal Media Server), which apprarently repairs the server's file database. Since it's rare and that fixes it, I haven't delved into the details of what might be going on.

I recall that happening once or so on my iPad. What happens when you click Device Info and Check for Updates? I get a small rocket pic with the text, "WiiM Pro is up to date."
