    Problem with custom volume (presets)

    Hello. My Ultra is connected to an external DAC via an optical cable, and I would like to set custom volume levels for my different headphones using presets. However, I can't get “Set custom volume" to work no matter what. It just doesn’t do anything. “Fixed volume output” is off and every...

    Volume subwoofer in Wiim Ultra and Vibelink Amp

    Hi friends. I have a Wi-Fi Ultra connected to a Vibelink Amp and Kef LS50 Meta speakers. I've installed a BW ASW610 subwoofer, but I'm still not sure how the setup works. I hope you can help. The subwoofer is connected to the Ultra's sub-out and from there to the subwoofer's LFE input. I have...

    Tidal Connect Intermittent (Ultra)

    I have a Mac Mini with the latest OS and a WiiM Ultra with USB out to a DAC. The Tidal connect works fine initially and when I start Tidal on the Mac, the WiiM Ultra appears in the options for audio out. When I play Music on Tidal, it correctly plays on the WiiM. Then after about 5 minutes...

    WiiM Ultra + Vibelink Amp - Volume control curiosity

    Curiosity from a new joiner. I have Ultra and Vibelink Amp connected via optical link, connected with a pair of loudspeakers that can handle - by specs - over 120W. I never listen to high volume. Is there any difference between 1. Max Vibelink volume and keep the ultra to 10-20% volume 2. Set...

    Anyone want some "Dark Side of the Moon" Wiim Ultra backgrounds?

    I made a few Dark Side of the Moon wallpapers for myself that fit the Wiim Ultra screen resolution, and thought I would share. You can view them here: https://forum.wiimhome.com/media/albums/dsotm-wiim-ultra-backgrounds.2/ [edit] They don't actually fit the screen resolution, as I don't...

    Firmware updates, how do they work?

    I'm a new Ultra user. I was on the may 30th firmware release 5.2.718554. I experienced issues with using Chromecast and Mixcloud as mentioned a few times in the forum. As suggested, I contacted Wiim support via the feedback option in the app. Somewhat impressively, within an hour, they had...

    Ultra + Vibelink Amp + Acoustic Energy AE500

    Just setup the title for my home office. WiiM setup was a breeze. Qobuz Connect just works fine. Room Correction do his magic. I think is a good paired loudspeaker - need to fine tune the low end as I hear more - that maybe would prefer more power but for my tiny room the Vibelink does the job...

    WiiM Amp Ultra vs Vibelink with Ultra

    Just recently purchased the WiiM VibeLink amp and the WiiM Ultra. I’m very happy with both units. I just saw that WiiM released a new device, the WiiM Amp Ultra, that appears to replace both of those units. This seems crazy that WiiM would kill the market so quick for the VibeLink, which makes...

    Does WiiM Ultra support Dolby via Optical input?

    I have a quick question: my WiiM Amp Pro apparently accepts Dolby signals via Optical in. Is this also the case with WiiM Ultra? Asking as I just bought one (it is in transit from Amazon), but when I now more carefully reviewed the Ultra's tech specs published on WiiM page it seems that Dolby...

    Connecting Ultra to vintage amplifier

    Hello, We are slowly resurrecting our music system from 40 years ago (bought in the early 1980s) which has gathered dust for many years in a dry environment. We've already re-foamed the speakers and they sound fine (Heybrook HB1) And now wish to plug our old amplifier into the setup. It is...

    HDMI ARC falls asleep when TV paused too fast.

    Using HDMI ARC. When I pause the Netflix and chill, the Wiim Ultra falls asleep pretty quickly. Unpausing takes 2-3 seconds before audio restores. What can one do to stop this from happening?

    WiiM Ultra reported as "offline" in Google Home

    My WiiM Ultra is always shown as being offline in my Google Home app's device overview. However, I can perfectly open it and adjust its volume - making the Ultra (and my amp) go active if it was still in standby. Even when the Ultra is turned on and playing, it will still show as offline in the...

    Disappointed with the Wiim Ultra RC

    I am very disappointed with the Wiim Ultra RC, and also cast my vote for adding DIRAC compatibility. Initially, I used the Wiim's RC because I thought it would improve the sound, but after reading the manual I realized that it was significantly altering the sound so I turned it off. After...

    "re-clocking" the Ultra digital out ?

    I use the Ultra + VibeLink combination (with either Pro-Ject SpeakerBox S2 or Klipsch RB-61, via a passive speaker switch). I have used alternatively analog to analog and optical to optical link between the two WiiM devices, and never could decide what sounded best (I did run room correction...

    Mains hum - earthing?

    So after 72 hours of owning an Ultra I think I'm going to have to return it. It's a superb piece of kit, beautifully made and, largely very good at what it does. I, however, have found that mine introduces horrible hum into the phono stage of my Naim NAIT 50 amplifier. After hours of plugging...

    Optical issue with the Wiim Ultra ?

    I am reporting my experience with a problem connecting to the Wiim Ultra via optical. I connected a Sony Walkman D-EJ1000 portable CD player via its mini-TOSLINK (S/PDIF optical output) to the standard TOSLINK optical input on the Wiim Ultra. I’m using a proper mini-TOSLINK to full-size TOSLINK...

    DAC choice

    I have a Wiim Pro Plus into a Roksan Attessa amp in my snug which has a Burr Brown DAC. I play the Wiim through Line Out connection as I prefer the sound using the Wiim DAC. In the living room I have a Quad set up which has an ESS Sabre 32 9018 DAC with a Wiim Ultra. How close is the pre amp DAC...
