LDAC Bluetooth headphone support

[DaedalusEH]

Wiim Pro is a HiFi Streamer, having support for LDAC Bluetooth for headphones will add quite a value to the streamer, as LDAC bluetooth headphones are commonly available nowadays, and will allow the users to hear music with less degradation through their favourite HiFi streaming service on their LDAC bluetooth audiophile headphones.

Wiim Pro (and Plus) is using Broadcom BCM43456 WIFI/Bluetooth module and the same module is used in iBasso DX160 which supports LDAC, so it is definitely possible.

I support this feature request. LDAC Bluetooth would greatly improve useability of the WiiM Pro.

Don't forget to upvote - in the upper right of the OP.

I highly encourage this feature request since to my observation the WiiM Pro+ currently only supports SBC if acting as BT transmitter (tested with FiiO BTR3K as BT receiver).

Vote too for support

Me too.

I personally have no use for this but it would be a great addition.

 

[garysargent]

Agree this would be great

Thumbs up! The lack of LDAC support is the only thing I miss about this otherwise perfect device (WiiM Pro Plus). I have 3 Bluetooth headphones that support LDAC and wireless is simply more practical for me because I am a wheelchair user. LDAC would really be the icing on the cake for me.

In the absence (or wait) for WiiM to add LDAC support, a device such as this connected to the Pro’s optical or analogue outputs might provide what you’re looking for

Thank you for the tip. I've actually already put something like that with LDAC support on my list. But for now I'm just hoping for the great developers at WiiM.

I would love the LDAC Bluetooth codec to be incorporated into Wiim products - it might even fix the bug that prevents my Sony headphones from playing properly over BT via my Wiim mini (sound stutters after a few minutes - it's a dreadful connection).

I fully agree. Same goed for the WIIM Ultra.

I agree ldac is a good idea, but isn't it easy just to stream straight from your phone/tablet?
Unless your device is Apple of course.

LDAC is support by newer Iphones. Could this also mean a boost in SQ when streaming via Bluetooth to the WIIM?

?????

iPhones do not support LDAC. I have the newest.

Sorry my fault I relied to AI's feature summary. Reading through articles manually states that there is no ldac at all. sorry for the confusion

LOL, this is was my first thought while reading your false statement. AI summaries are great if you don’t care about the real content of articles!

In many cases a simple prompt like "Are you sure about that?" makes the AI (at least ChatGPT) reconsider its previous statement.

There's no guarantee that the new answer is any better than the old one, of course.
