I think both aspects have been touched upon e.g. playing videos from Tidal for example in the WiiM Home app and casting that to a tv, or simply casting a static Now Playing screen from the WiiM app to a screen.

Well, Sonos' CEO has made many blunders in his tenure; one of them was dumping Ryan S, who was widely respected. My Sonos gear sits unused now.You might very well think that, but I couldn't possibly comment.

Gotcha, so casting the Now Playing page from the WHA to something else.
That makes sense! I'll make sure the team knows both are being asked for.

No, not casting from WHA but from the device itself. Of cause configured from WHA.

What content would you want to be seeing? The artwork / track / artist / play time ?

Basically the same as on the WiiM Ultra display but formatted for a bigger screen.

For example, youtube can cast to smart tvs (including fire tv & Google tv). Roon also has this now playing cast feature (but not everyone wants Roon!).

@RyanWithWiim Another issue discussed in several threads that we need some technical information about from WiiM is as described in the thread "HDMI ARC: option to turn off when Ultra in standby to use TV speakers".

Just generally, the same/similar to what displays on the Ultra’s screen.
So the option of ‘just full size artwork’, or ‘artwork plus details’.
Irrespective of source.
Many thanks, and welcome.

Welcome, Please rush with the option Digital out with Subwoofer, This will help a dedicated DAC with all great functionality of DAC. This is the most important update from WiiM awaiting for
That's a feature already in Ultra. Are you talking about the USB output of the WiiM amp?

An unimaginable torture: Ultra or Amp Pro
Yes. Sorry, I presume you mean by ‘control’ and ‘separate DAC chip’ you’re talking about bass management, etc., in the DAC that’s IN the Ultra. By ‘separate DAC chip’ I presumed onlyoneme was referring to any external DAC.

In my opinion, there is no need to rush. It is important that it works correctly.

Sorry, just another one. Please include subwoofer on/off in the switchable PEQ section.
So you might have one EQ setting for your speakers (including sub), and another for your headphones (driven by an external DAC/Amp) which sends full range to the headphones.
Many thanks.

The Ultra only allows bass management with coax and optical outputs not with USB.
Am I wrong that YouTube does not cast to WiiM products?

YT only casts to screen devices (AFAIK)
