    Ultra + Vibelink Amp + Acoustic Energy AE500

    Just setup the title for my home office. WiiM setup was a breeze. Qobuz Connect just works fine. Room Correction do his magic. I think is a good paired loudspeaker - need to fine tune the low end as I hear more - that maybe would prefer more power but for my tiny room the Vibelink does the job...

    WiiM Amp Ultra vs Vibelink with Ultra

    Just recently purchased the WiiM VibeLink amp and the WiiM Ultra. I’m very happy with both units. I just saw that WiiM released a new device, the WiiM Amp Ultra, that appears to replace both of those units. This seems crazy that WiiM would kill the market so quick for the VibeLink, which makes...

    Does WiiM Ultra support Dolby via Optical input?

    I have a quick question: my WiiM Amp Pro apparently accepts Dolby signals via Optical in. Is this also the case with WiiM Ultra? Asking as I just bought one (it is in transit from Amazon), but when I now more carefully reviewed the Ultra's tech specs published on WiiM page it seems that Dolby...

    Connecting Ultra to vintage amplifier

    Hello, We are slowly resurrecting our music system from 40 years ago (bought in the early 1980s) which has gathered dust for many years in a dry environment. We've already re-foamed the speakers and they sound fine (Heybrook HB1) And now wish to plug our old amplifier into the setup. It is...

    HDMI ARC falls asleep when TV paused too fast.

    Using HDMI ARC. When I pause the Netflix and chill, the Wiim Ultra falls asleep pretty quickly. Unpausing takes 2-3 seconds before audio restores. What can one do to stop this from happening?

    WiiM Ultra reported as "offline" in Google Home

    My WiiM Ultra is always shown as being offline in my Google Home app's device overview. However, I can perfectly open it and adjust its volume - making the Ultra (and my amp) go active if it was still in standby. Even when the Ultra is turned on and playing, it will still show as offline in the...

    Disappointed with the Wiim Ultra RC

    I am very disappointed with the Wiim Ultra RC, and also cast my vote for adding DIRAC compatibility. Initially, I used the Wiim's RC because I thought it would improve the sound, but after reading the manual I realized that it was significantly altering the sound so I turned it off. After...

    "re-clocking" the Ultra digital out ?

    I use the Ultra + VibeLink combination (with either Pro-Ject SpeakerBox S2 or Klipsch RB-61, via a passive speaker switch). I have used alternatively analog to analog and optical to optical link between the two WiiM devices, and never could decide what sounded best (I did run room correction...

    Mains hum - earthing?

    So after 72 hours of owning an Ultra I think I'm going to have to return it. It's a superb piece of kit, beautifully made and, largely very good at what it does. I, however, have found that mine introduces horrible hum into the phono stage of my Naim NAIT 50 amplifier. After hours of plugging...

    Optical issue with the Wiim Ultra ?

    I am reporting my experience with a problem connecting to the Wiim Ultra via optical. I connected a Sony Walkman D-EJ1000 portable CD player via its mini-TOSLINK (S/PDIF optical output) to the standard TOSLINK optical input on the Wiim Ultra. I’m using a proper mini-TOSLINK to full-size TOSLINK...

    DAC choice

    I have a Wiim Pro Plus into a Roksan Attessa amp in my snug which has a Burr Brown DAC. I play the Wiim through Line Out connection as I prefer the sound using the Wiim DAC. In the living room I have a Quad set up which has an ESS Sabre 32 9018 DAC with a Wiim Ultra. How close is the pre amp DAC...

    Dear forum users, my name is Markus, and I'm from Vienna, here is my first posting. This weekend I had the opportunity to test the WIIM Ultra with the WIIM Vibelink Amp. Incredibly good interaction, incredibly good sound, and a great app. Everything worked perfectly, except for accessing and...

    Wiim Ultra random amp triggers

    I have my Wiim Ultra setup to turn on the amplifiers from the 12V trigger out. It works perfectly in terms of always turning the amps on when it should and never turning them off when it shouldn't. However, there is an annoying and disconcerting behavior where occasionally it will signal for the...

    New "Fan" of WiiM :-)

    Moin, This is my first post in this forum, I've been reading along since my WiiM Pro. I now have a WiiM Ultra, which has an Aiyima A70 with a Canton Chrono 502.2 (formerly KEF Q150) connected to it, along with a Presonus Sub8. I couldn't be happier, the combo is a lot of fun in my listening...

    USB output problem

    I have a brand new Ultra that I am trying to connect to a SMSL VMV D2r dac via USB. The only way I can get it to work is by either unplugging and replugging the USB cable or rebooting the Wiim, which is annoying. Once the Wiim is in standby and then woken up, it will not recognize the dac unless...

    My Setup

    Not sure if I ever posted my setup here; at this point, since I’ve basically end-gamed, figured this is as good a time as any to finally post my setup. WiiM Ultra playing Qobuz as well as my local library on attached USB storage. DSPeaker Anti-Mode X2D for bass management and also room...

    Getting a little confused about volume control with my setup...

    Hey There, I'm in the process of setting up my Wiim setup (5 Wiim devices w/ 2 multi-zone amps), and I'm migrating from Sonos. I'd love to clarify my understanding of how things should be set up. My amplifier is an AudioControl Director M4800 4-zone (8 channel) amplifier. I can assign either...

    Will an HDMI output be added to a WiiM streamer in the future?

    I'm really interested in if an HDMI output will be added to a WiiM streamer in the future. I have an Eversolo DMP-A6 and it has an HDMI output. It's an excellent feature especially the ability to play 5.1 files when connected to an AVR/processor. I have a WiiM Ultra and Pro in two different...
