    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...

    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...

    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...
