Is this the right color for my Ultra?

[harkpabst]

I'm sure we all remember this one from the early days of the internet: https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/optical-illusion-grey-squares-1649739440-1

And that was really just about comparing simple RGB values!

The case work of the Vibelink Amp, Ultra, Amp Pro and Amp are not simply painted in one uniform colour. They really do look different depending on angle, lighting and so on. So, depending on boundary conditions, the WiiM Ultra can really look like shown in the original post. In most real life conditions it doesn't look that dark, admittedly.

I also sent message to moderator to avoid creating thread but after I saw this one..so i also had same experience with vibelink and looking on way how to check color...on the Web is much much darker grey than in real life..I didn't expect black but on daylight it's really light color so I was in dillema did I got silver...that is the problem when you don't see with own eyes before order...

This is wrong I assume?
Dark knob at the silver ULTRA.

Is it possible to change?

That looks like a Space Grey Ultra to me.

This is my silver Ultra.

No, the body is silver, the knob is dark grey.

Can I change it by myself?

Ouch, what a mess

Silver Ultra with my silver Yamaha disc player. The knob is somewhat darker than the enclosure:

My space grey Amp Ultra with a plastic black networked tv decoder and an older WiiM remote:

The space grey knob matches its corresponding enclosure better than the silver knob does, but they are clearly different.

For anyone who is unsure what colour their WiiM Ultra is, or even any WiiM device for that matter, it tells you in the WiiM Home app, in the Device Info section.

I only have Space Grey, and Black WiiM devices, but they all show the correct Colour/Color with the American spelling for Grey/Gray.
Presumably Silver WiiM devices will show the colour as Silver, but it would be interesting to have this confirmed by an owner of a Silver device.

My silver Ultra says it’s silver.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

My silver Ultra says it’s silver.

Thanks for confirming that.
It would be interesting to find out what the colour says for people with Space Grey devices, who think that they are Silver devices.

The Support didn't know it if silver knobs exists....

Hi Motaki

I've confirmed that we don't have any silver knobs. Your Amp Ultra probably has a lighter color that looks silver. Could you send us a photo of it when you have a chance?

Best regards,
WiiM Support

The picture shows it, more silver isn't possible ....

Hi Motaki

Ich habe mich vergewissert, dass wir keine silbernen Knöpfe haben. Ihr Amp Ultra hat wahrscheinlich eine hellere Farbe, die silbern aussieht. Könnten Sie uns bei Gelegenheit ein Foto davon schicken?
