    VU meter is artificially boosted to always appear pegging into the red

    My chain: Tidal (via ethernet) - > wiim ultra -> USB -> Eversolo DAC Z8 -> xlr -> smsl h400 headphone amp. I use the wiim as a streamer only. Using (100%) fixed volume to my external DAC, the VU meter on the wiim ultra is always pegging into the red, almost maxed out. This is without me using...

    Use low-level or .1 sub input from Ultra?

    Going to try this small REL sub, it has 2 different coaxial inputs, low-level and .1 everything I read says .1 is not supported with PCM 2.0, use the low-level input? I am assuming the Ultra takes the 5.1 DD/AC3 and converts to 2.0 PCM, so curious what the advantage is opposed to an ARC input...

    Folder browsing

    Hi, Since a few days I have a WIIM Ultra. A great device that I am very happy with! I use it mainly for playing my hundreds of home-ripped CDs and purchased FLACs on a USB SSD. That means I have music in over 300 folders (Artist/Band name) with 1 or more subfolders (Albums) . I would be very...

    Noise shaping and the Ultra DAC

    Its important to , in the WiiM meny select 24 bit 96 kHz ( the default toslink output resolution is 16 bit 48 kHz ) . Theres a bug ( or was? ) that makes the ultra used as a dac sounding worse than it should when 16bit/48 is selected. Amirs review at ASR shows this with 16bit 48kHz selected in...

    Top lid on the Ultra detaching

    The top on my Ultra is starting to come loose, one of the corners is no longer flush with the sides. Does any one know how it is attached? With glue? Pressing it down doesn’t help, so I guess it’s skewed. Doesn’t look so good and I’m suspecting it can get worse…

    HDMI ARC hijacking inputs

    Recently I connected HDMI ARC output from my Sony TV to Wiim Ultra. Reason for that is that I have two more Wiim devices (Wiim Pro and Wiim Amp Pro) so I want to have surround from time to time (movie evenings with friends). But, whatever I do, whil TV is on, Wiim Ultra has HDMI input on. There...

    My HDMI ARC test

    WiiM Ultra Volume knob push not working

    I'm having an issue with my WiiM Ultra where the volume knob push function for play/pause has stopped working recently. I'm not sure if this is related to the latest firmware update. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Subwoofer Output Keeps Turning Off

    I have a recurring issue where the subwoofer output on my Wiim Ultra switches itself off. I'm not sure if this issue originates in the Wiim Ultra itself or the iOS app, but both are up-to-date. I'll repeatedly set the toggle switch for "Sub Output" in the Subwoofer menu to "on," then notice a...

    Vibelink & Ultra

    While browsing YouTube, I came across the Vibelink. I looked at it for a while, read a little about it, and then I just ordered it. After connecting it, I knew immediately that I had finally found the amplifier I had been looking for for a few years. This little box can actually replace my...

    Roon does not see my Ultra as an end point

    Set up my brand new Ultra yesterday. Set up was easy and I enjoyed several hours of exploring and using the different functions of the unit. All went very well except for using rooN as the input. rooN does not see the Ultra as a “zone” (endpoint). The Ultra is configured as a DAC with fixed...

    Let Wiim or Apple TV downmix 5.1 to stereo PCM?

    Hi! Should I let my Apple TV downmix the 5.1 surround sound to stereo PCM or leave it on auto and let my WIIM Ultra do it? (My LG tv could also do it, but I'm guessing it's probably the least correct option.) I can definitely tell a difference, mostly in the treble. When Apple does it, the highs...
