    AIFF files won't play with JRiver Media Center

    JRiver software plays every file type to the WiiM Ultra except .AIF. Just to test the file, I sent it to the WiiM using different software (Elmedia) and it works fine. I posted the issue on JRiver and got the following request: "You might ask WiiM for clarification (if they support AIFF...

    Coaxial cable no sound

    Had a mooch around and can't find anything relevant.... Anyone got a AudioQuest Forest Digital Coaxial 1.5m cable? Just bought one for my Ultra and vibelink amp, no sound from main speakers... I've plugged the cable in to the single RCA next to trigger wire, plugged into the amp and set the...

    [...] improvements to the volume knob

    It would be beneficial to include a configurable option for the physical volume knob so that the full output range can be achieved with either a 180° or 360° rotation. Currently, in Wiim Ultra, to turn down/up the volume without the help of the app and smartphone is an abstract number of turns...

    Ever had your Wiim turn on & then off with a huge BANG?

    I'm not a fan of the way a Wiim will turn on by itself, check for updates or whatever, then go back to sleep. Just now mine did that 2X in quick succession. Problem is my 250wpc amp is connected to turn on remotely and since it didn't have time for the power supplies to bleed off from the first...

    Compensating for EQ gain boost?

    What is the correct approach to compensate for gain boosts in RoomFit/(P)EQ in order to avoid clipping? I’ve read somewhere that the volume limit feature can be used for this. Would that have the same affect as setting negative pre gain in the input options, but for all inputs? If the volume...

    SPDIF or Toslink out? Why?

    WiiM Ultra, are you using SPDIF or Toslink out? Why? I'm curious if one is "better" and if you've done A/B testing. Audio only, 2-channel setup WiiM Ultra > BlueRigger toslink > Schiit Modius > WBC Mogami XLR > Buckeye Amps NC252MP For less than $20 to around $50 = there are plenty of...

    DAC use

    I have a Wiim Ultra, but find it a little harsh with my Quad Atera Play+ and Artera Stereo power amp to Spendor speakers. The CD is great with no harshness. If I add a Signature v2 will it play the CD through the Zen DAC or canI keep the internal Quad DAC for the CD and just use the Zen for the...

    Any sound advantage when passing signal through additional tube preamp?

    I have seen people passing signal from Wiim streamers through additional analog tube preamps (such as AIYIMA T1 or T2 or FOSI P3) before going into integrated amp. Is there any audible improvement in audio as a result? In my opinion the more processing (3 preamps in a row in this case) can only...

    Anyone with experience with Toslink-to-HDMI audio embedders?

    Ok, I understand there are very good reasons to not to use these devices but unfortunately my current audio setup is lacking of enough audio inputs (1 optical, 1 non-eARC HDMI). So far I have been using the optical input but it is limited to 96khz playback and I really want to get as much as...

    Mini USB to Apple lightening cable or adapter needed

    I'm looking to use my UMIK-1 mic with the Ultra for taking room correction measurements. I bought a USB-A female to Apple lightening adapter cable but the adapter does not provide power. Can anyone suggest a Mini USB (UMIK-1 input) to Apple lightening cable (iPhone 13 input) that provides power...

    Two suggestions

    Submitted this to feedback 1 - Would be nice for an album cover only display when playing music. My (FABULOUS) ultra is too far away to read text anyhow. 2 - Would be nice to have an option on what page WiiM opens to. For example I would like it to be Qobuz Discover. Cheers

    Full use without a smartphone

    I read in various posts that it seems not to be possible to browse or search for songs directly from the touch screen, but those posts were from 2024. I wanted to know if it is now possible to use the WiiM completely without a phone. I bought it to use on a shared terrace and I was hoping that...

    What are the chances the line out on my new WIIM Ultra is DOA?

    I'm getting no sound coming from a line output. RCA Cable is tested with another system, used 3 sets of powered speakers, changed Line Output audio settings, the headphone output works fine (sounds incredible actually). The only way I could get any sound was by using an amp/speaker setup and...
