Is this the right color for my Ultra?

[MonoMariop]

Hi!
I just received the Ultra and to my surprise, this space grey looks pretty light..more like a silver to me.

I was hoping for a much deeper grey as per the Amazon "photos".

You can see it next to the Pro here.

Is this normal or did I get the wrong color?
The label on the box says space gray...

Then it wouldn't be space grey, it would be black.

I have the Ultra, but it is much darker than yours. It's like the picture on Amazon, much like the Pro. Yours actually looks more like silver.
My Ultra is from the first series.
Could WiiM have changed the shade? The dark one looked better to me.

Doesn't look at all like the Amazon 'photos' that's my point. That is much darker. There are many shades between black and gray

Now you got me wondering.
You got any photos?

I see even on Wiim's website their samples are like Amazon. Plus the knobs are very different from what I (and the other poster here have). The surrounding part of the know in those photos is as dark as the front plate part not like mine. I much prefer that look as below.
I emailed them to ask about that discrepancy.

I received my two in December, they are not silver but also more a lighter gray. One of them:

Yeah so none of them seem to match the original photos (renderings) even on their own website or even the box it came in! Interesting.

Sorry, no photo of my device. It’s stacked with Topping DAC and Pro. Too much work unstack and restack. As you say my knob is very different from your and the surrounding part is very dark. My one is just like the one on the left. Your Ultra is silver even if in the box of the space grey.
I could think of a packaging error. The wrong product in the wrong box.
Unless WiiM has changed colour in the meantime. In which case it would be a pity. Much nicer dark, but not only that. At this point there is practically no difference with silver.
You can do one thing before a possible return. Send an email to WiiM asking if they have changed the colour from the first series. Attach photos of yours.

Perhaps silver is more lighter. My Ultra is the exact same color as Vibelink.

The main thing is, should we expand to more WiiM devices in the future, that the new “Space Grey” conforms to the old “Space Grey”

oh wow so yours even has the darker knob! I emailed them. Lets see what they say cause I really like that look much better. Indeed mine may as well be the silver one at this point.

I agree. If WiiM unbeknownst to us has changed colour, it becomes a big problem. If I were to decide to buy another Ultra or another device, they would no longer match. I would have a rainbow of colours. A real eye punch. All my hifi equipments are coordinated

Well done. Let’s us know what they reply
