Ongoing Beta Beta Testing: Wireless Dolby 5.1 for WiiM Ultra

- when feeding dts, the display shows "dts" hence recognizing it but won't play (was expected). But when it regcognizes the signal as dts maybe there is a chance to be available in future?

- when decoding dts prior to lpcm the "5.1" symbol and it's setting disappears and the wiim group plays it's "all channel stereo". That was not expected - it seems the Ultra can't handle multi channel lpcm properly when it's not decoded as dolby digital?

I think the current target is for DD5.1, not any other format. Maybe once they have that stable they can look to other formats, but only if there are no licensing costs involved.

Yes, but then multichannel pcm should be handled - otherwise there is no way, to play blurays with dts in multichannel.

Or SACD rips for 4/5.1- channel music playback.

Currently in the process of converting my stereo rips to PCM so Plex doesn't mess things up (no DSD support).

But I would definitely get another Wiim device to get 5.1 sound for movies as well.
