wiim ultra

Not so much interested in connectivity, but more on usability & streaming features. Which to go for?

When using the HDMI input for movies (stereo PCM) or Tidal Connect for 16bit 44.1kHz FLAC music, the VU meter works beautifully, but as soon as I play any hi res 24bit music, the VU meter is slow, delayed, no longer smooth, and stutters. The best way I can describe it is it looks like it's...

I can't find this anywhere and I'd like to know so I can upload background photos that match the screen's pixel resolution and therefore look the best.

I see this discussed partially in other threads, but why can't the Ultra be a client for full or simplified versions of the music apps it supports via phone/device? I bought the Ultra assuming I would be able to download the Spotify app (and others) because it has a screen, much like I can on a...

After having had Wiim devices in my secondary audio systems (Pro Plus in the bedroom, Amp in the fitness room), I finally bought an Ultra for my living room system: - DAC: T+A DAC8 DSD - Preamp: Linn Klimax Kontrol - Power amp: Linn Klimax Twin - Speakers: Dynaudio Confidence C2 My main...

Hi I have a new WiiM Ultra and when listening to internet radio the volume control on the Wiim and the remote doesn't work. I have looked in the audio settings and the fixed volume is not enabled. Grateful for any suggestions. Colin

Hi All, I'm new to WIIM and the forum, this is my first post and really appreciate some help. I have an Ultra + Vibelink in a group with an Echo Show 15 but it's behaving very strange. Previously used an Amp Pro instead of the Ultra and everything worked fine with Alexa voice commands and...

Hi - new to the forum, new to the world of streamers and to the WiiM Ultra. I picked one up earlier this week from Richer Sounds who price-matched Amazon's Prime Day pricing (£279), which was/is a total bargain. Very impressed with the device. Main reason for buying was to listen to my vinyl...

Wanted to ask if it is just my Ultra that is rebooting itself randomly when not turned on? It happens roughly once per 2 weeks, happend several times already but I do not remember it doing this half a year ago when I bought it, so it was probably introduced by one of the later FWs. I know it by...

Hi all, As per the subject line, any idea why? HDMI in works nicely but not Optical in ..

I have the Ultra connected via line out to active Klipsch 41PM speakers. I had the volume set to about mid on the speakers and 30-40 on the Wiim and the volume was perfect. But now at 30-40 the speakers are not quiet and to hear the music at least very quietly I have to set the Wiim to 70-80...

I am currently using a Marantz SR5008 solely as a preamp. All signals including my tidal app all come from the TV via an HDMI cable an are fed to a pair of mono-block amps and a subwoofer. I am looking at replacing the Marantz with a WiiM Ultra. I am not interested in any additional streaming...

I play music using JRiver Media Center from my media files resident on my NAS drive using DLNA. When MC gets to the end of an album, it stops and eventually, WiiM times out and goes to sleep. When WiiM goes to sleep on my Mac, JRiver hangs and requires a forced quit. If I use the WiiM App...

Turntable cant get it to connect to system any gurus out yhere who can help

Hello everyone. I was hoping the community here could give me some advice on what to purchase...hoping to make use of some of the current sales to better outfit my listening space. Location: USA My Setup: Two KEF R7 Meta + TBD SUB (Might be an old Dayton Audio SUB-1500, open to suggestions for...

As title says, it would be nice to have a sub menu to choose if the status light will always be ON, always OFF, or be ON when device is ON and OFF when device is in standby mode, instead of the ON/OFF toggle we have now.

My music is all stored on a local NAS with playlists. My 5 Star Hits list has 618 tracks and if you select the playlist from the app you get all 618 tracks. However, that list save to a preset only gives you 500 tracks :( Perhaps a legacy issue from where 500 was the limit for a playlist?

I’m experiencing an issue when streaming music from Audirvana (running on my Mac Mini) over WiFi to both my WiiM Mini and WiiM Ultra devices. Problem: When I play a high-resolution audio file within a playlist (higher than 44.1 kHz / 16-bit) via these WiiM devices, Audirvana often fails to...

Hello! As a newbie, I’m interested in purchasing a Wiim Ultra but need some help clarifying the following as I see contradictory advice whilst googling and want to 100% certain. I want to ensure I have misunderstood the product and its capabilities. 1. Can the Ultra play songs from USB in...

Hi- After happily using my Ultra for about 6 months, I began noticing a drop off in sound quality. At first I thought that it could be downstream in my audio chain but I did an a/b test between a cd going directly in my dac and streaming the same music on the ultra and the differences were...
