Meet WiiM Ultra - The Digital Hub for Your Music

[pieterv1]

By the way, I got this reply from the WiiM Team a few days ago. Could be of interest for all Plex & Plexamp users out there
Looks like the Ultra will be replacing both my WiiM Pro and Raspberry Pi streamer.

@WiiM Support do you have a rough estimation of when to expect Plex functionality?

Hi Team,

We hope to release the first version of the native Plex client in August 2024. Please stay tuned!

July is almost here. Do you know already the release date?

Everything indicates that it would be July 4th.

Crutchfield says: Expected: 7/5/2024
Auditorium.de says 31.07.2024

Likely a few weeks later in Europe than in the US

Everything? WiiM haven't said anything more specific than Q3 to the best of my knowledge, and who knows how accurate the info being disseminated by sellers is

 

[Achim1811]

My German dealer where I've ordered is still on end of July.

I wonder if any Tories have bet on it being July 4th

I think the only thing, theirs a video here where the German distributor completes a full unboxing. They don’t make these in ones.

They’ve almost certainly started production at least a couple of weeks ago.

Well, that’s how it looks to me.

 

[D1N0]

I bet the reviewers will all release their video's next thursday
and no I ain't no Tory

More important question is when we'll see the first reviews so I can decide which equipment to put up for sale

If you’re in hurry to get it, order from Amazon in US. They usually get them. Crutchfield show June 5.

That’s no good. Everyone will be wanting a kip after being up all night.

Why would that be?

Watching the swingometer

I would wait until the second version of PCB available for the sales. Generally speaking, the first version of any kinds, tends to have issues.
