    Listen to AAC via Bluetooth from your phone with Dolby Audio/Music!

    Wow, listening to Dolby Audio from my phone with Bluetooth enabled in AAC format sounds amazing, not tiring on the ears at all. The DSP seems to be excellent, the sound is incredibly clear, the harsh frequencies are gone, and it's very powerful.

    Interfering noise with Ultra/Vibelink Combo

    Not sure if this is an Ultra or Vibelink or general problem. I have the Ultra connected to the Vibelink by toslink and rca. Toslink is all good, but rca has an interfering noise from 50-60% volume up. Quite present at 100%. I would describe it as crackling/sizzling/static interference. It's...

    WiiM Ultra + NVIDIA Shield setup

    Hello everyone, I just ordered a WiiM Ultra to use as a streamer and EQ for my home TV and music set-up. I currently am running my older Sony A8H with an NVIDIA Shield because it's a lot faster than what's built in on the TV. I run Shield into TV via HDMI then optical from the TV into my Yamaha...

    Crackling sound in rear speakers using Dolby surround

    So I have my new Ultra setup with my main speakers utilizing the sub out with bass management. My amp is powering my rear surround speakers. Everything seems to work but when I set the Group Audio Delay to 70ms there is a very noticeable crackling sound in them. When I set the delay to 150ms...

    Wiim Ultra as modern preamplifier

    Just bought a Wiim Ultra to help me get up to speed with modern audio. I started with what I thought was the most straightforward test and plugged my portable pc into the usb port only discover it doesn't seem to support usb audio in. A brief google and a usb-to-optical/coaxial/hdmi/...

    Newly simplified setup thanks to my Wiim Ultra

    The Ultra replaced a Raspberry Pi running Volumio, a USB Atom DAC from JDS Labs, and a Bluetooth receiver, and, after some debate, even the Musical Fidelity Nu Vista pre-amp (slightly better phono stage but otherwise audibly very much the same). The Volumio etc in turn replaced an older Squeeze...

    Incredible Airplay on Ultra, for free

    Airplay from Phone to Airport Express v2 I already owned, Firmware Airplay (1) so is 16/44 lossless, to Toslink into Ultra. Sounds amazing. WiiM should have just included it! 🙄 (Note: Hi-Res Lossless button on Dominique Nameless song is what is capable, not what is playing: LPCM 16/44.1...

    What does HDMI Arc actually do for me?

    I have a pretty standard (I think) set up. Ultra, TV. Record player, cd player (actually a blueray player) and a cassette deck. When I first got the Ultra I had the TV connected via HDMI but I had problems with it. For example, sometimes I like to watch the cricket while listening to music. But...

    WiiM Ultra connection to an integrated NAD 3030 v2 amp

    As of now, my Wiim Ultra is hooked up to my NAD 3020 integrated amp using standard RCA cables. Two questions: 1. Is there a way to use a coax cable to hook up the Wiim Ultra to the amp without bypassing its DAC? I was told that if I used a coax cable, I would bypass Wiim's DAC and the NAD DAC...

    USB drive search results improvements

    Any way to make the search accent agnostic ? For example, I search for Paco de Lucía but all Lucia results also show up. Also, with the same example in mind: if Paco is playing on different albums, I will get the result of - say - 1 song on a compilation, but I don't see a way to show me the...

    WPA3 Not supported

    Hi, I setup my new WiiM Ultra a few days ago and liked it so much I ordered 2 more. Today I went to setup one in the living room and it kept saying wrong password somewhere, and somewhere it said WPA3 not supported. I tried several times. Since I have 2 new ones that I bought, I tried the...

    another calibrated mic question

    I have several Pros that I have in non critical listening areas, but I use piCorePlayer touchscreens on my 3 dedicated listening areas, one just audio, and 2 audio/theater. To use with just a power amp and sub, I use(d) miniDSP 2x4 HDs and I never got the systems to sound good. I just tried a...

    Ultra to Yamaha A-S801: coax or rca?

    The DAC chip in my Yamaha integrated amp is an ESS SABRE ES9010K2M, which looks pretty similar to the slightly newer chip in the Ultra, as far as I can tell from spec sheets. Any wisdom to share on whether I’m likely to be happier using coax and the Yamaha DAC or RCA cables and the DAC in the...

    How to have input automatically switch to phono when a signal is detected?

    As the title says. I’m having the same issue with line in — even though it’s set to automatically switch inputs, it doesn’t. These are my settings. Thanks all!

    WiiM Ultra RoomFit With External DAC?

    Hello, My question is: if I decided to add an external DAC to the WiiM Ultra via USB out, with the DAC set to "DAC mode" (fixed 100% volume), and then start Roomfit, would it know how loud the pink noise should be as to not blow out the speakers, or do I actually have to manually adjust the...
