Animated frequency display

[hgo58]

The animated frequency display in Optical In and Line In modes is just annoying and has no benefits.

What do you think? Should we request for a proper real frequency display or is it of no usage?

Agreed. It's straight-up fake, as it loops and has no relation to the media that's playing.
A static display of the input (with the quality, if digital) would be ideal. It'd be even better if this could go to the standby display after a short while.
The fake spectrum analyzer is quite distracting, especially when watching TV or other content, and using the ultra for audio playback via HDMI ARC.

I stated in another thread that the standby clocks could also use some refinement, or some more options. The layout, font, etc. of the slideshow clock is great except for the slideshow itself. Static white text on a black background would get the job done and look much more high-end (imo, of course).

Yes. From support ticket.

Yes. From support ticket.

I suppose if they remove it they won't replace it with a proper spectrum analyser.

Sounds like it will only be removed for now.

Should maybe raise another ticket to get a real frequency display and a better VU meter?

Judging by the new independent channel RC beta they won't.

But it's a big improvement!

a better VU meter?

Maybe the next Ultra Super Duper will feature a wide touchscreen, like the HiFi Rose streamers. Then they can really get a nice UI.

The annoying frequency display has now been fixed. Thanks to @WiiM Team.

Yes, the display now mimics what's seen on the device tab, a small and intrusive animation, if the source is active.

I like it.
