Features wanted in a Wiim Ultra 2

[TonyE]

How about a WiiM Surround Ultra? Take the signal from the HDMI eARC. Output up to 9.1.

Add a larger, 10 inch, touch screen.

Put better sounding analog outputs.

Two HDMI inputs.

Get rid of the phono input, replace it with a 2ch analog input.

$800 bucks.

How about a 7.1 surround WiiM Surround Ultra? Take the signal from the HDMI eARC.

It would be classed as a AV pre amp. £1000-£4000 typically

There used to be a market for pre-pro in the 800 to 1000 USD range but it looks like it got vacated.

The processors all moved up to Super Duper 13 channel units with all kinds of doo dahs... or the AVRs just got cheap with lots of more doodahs.

I still think that most people never install more than five channels, if at most.

A WiiM Processor that was could drive wirelessly WiiM Sound Surrounds ( a Sound Light with simpler features ) would be a killer product. IMHO.

9.3.4 system

Everyone wants every feature and the kitchen sink. As a contrarian, I again push for an ultra clean streamer transport. No DAC no frills.

Great, I’m sure. But that’s not an Ultra 2, it’s a completely different product.
