    Output to Alexa Speaker Group

    Hi, I just purchased a Wiim Ultra device in the hopes that I would be able to stream from a Plex media server to an Echo Speaker group, not just one speaker. I have set up a multi-room speaker group in Alexa with the Wiim device as a part of that group. It doesn't work, however, and I can't...

    Hi all, Looking to connect an Ultra to my modded (Sparko labs OpAmp’s) Fosi Audio ZD3 Dac. Would it be best to use USB or optical / spdif?

    Time to start next song

    Hello, I have a problem with the WiiM Ultra. When I select the next song, it always takes 3 to 5 seconds for the song to start. I don't have this with the predecessor Bluesound Node or anywhere else. I stream Tidal and Flac from the NAS. Input and output also make no difference. How long does...

    Wiim Pro vs Pro plus vs Ultra for streaming only

    I currently have a Wiim Pro with Allo Shanti low noise power supply and using it only as a streamer. I have an external dac. In my case is it worth upgrading to Pro plus or Ultra for a better sound quality? Thanks in advance.

    Pops and cracks on external DAC

    I connected exterrnal DAC Fiio M17 with USB or coaxial. Every time when I play/pause/next track from Tidal or another source, I hear pops and cracks sound. I tried set fade in fade out effect in the audio settings. This also happens when the WiiM wakes up from standby or goes to sleep. I...

    Love the WiiM, but

    At the price point, it is great but really would like a way to play my iPod Touch through it, realizing there is no digital handshake between Apple and WiiM. Any workaround or software update in the works?Thanks.

    Wiim Ultra with UPNP and EQ / Digital Volume

    Hi! I'm looking at the Wiim Ultra, and I would like to know a few things, if possible. I do regular hi-fi reviews, and I need a device that does two or three specific things only: 1) network transport through the upnp protocol, so this means a flawless upnp protocol (gapless, no weird track...

    Have there been any rumblings about an Ultra MkII?

    Just curious if Ultra is going to be what it currently is, or if there's any discussion of a MkII in the future? Thinking specifically of hardware changes, either I/O or durability focused, as they seem to be pushing firmware enhancements fairly regularly.

    LFE / Sub out

    Hi There, I’m using a REL subwoofer, which has a high-level input (directly from the speakers), and two low-level inputs - RCA and ./LFE. From what I understand, movies use a separate track for the bass effect and it doesn’t quite replicate the bass on the speakers. This input in my sub is...

    Suggestion for easier screen navigation & fixed volume confirmation

    I find the "Are you sure you want to switch to Phono?" message quite irritating. It unnecessarily complicates navigation in the touchscreen settings and doesn't seem to serve a meaningful purpose. I believe it should be removed to improve usability. Instead, a confirmation message should be...

    Old system, new ultra

    Hi all. Looking to upgrade my old system and try to get it to work a bit more for me. See diagram below. I’m looking to maybe get existing speakers (plus possibly a new subwoofer) and use it as the main tv output eventually. In the meantime I can probably use the soundbar. If I do this...
