Meet WiiM Ultra - The Digital Hub for Your Music

[Musician]

I do not have a sub, but while playing music:

Turning on the sub in the app and changing the cross-over freq. does not create any unwanted noise. It does change the main speakers cut-off as it should.

With NO music playing there is also NO unwanted noise while changing settings in the sub section.

How exact is the lowpass and highpass crossover - is it 60, 70, 80 Hz etc or is it 60, 61, 62 Hz etc.?

 

[onlyoneme]

1 Hz steps.

 

[Musician]

1 Hz steps.

Thats really good

 

[Musician]

Remote control - the same as for WiiM pro+ ?

It's not very important for new buyers, but it can be quite informative for owners of pre production units.

For reviewers, yes! I wonder how many are out there in the wild already

 

[onlyoneme]

Thats really good

I don't have the Amp powered on actually to verify, but I think it has also 1 Hz steps.

Yes.

Do you know the steepness of the crossover ?

 

[canard]

it seems that more and more will be roughly in the same category-range of measurements "in asr mode" on the internal dac side ... so it may be subjectively that the returns can be expected on its analog output...

otherwise there is the observation of the digital outputs, and the fine observation of the addition and processing of the output sub which will be interesting
ultra vs plus..
;-)

or the absence of hardware bugs...already crossed...

Exactly.

It's been LR4 on the amp and there's no change to be expected for the Ultra.

 

[onlyoneme]

Pity, but I didn't test it yet.

 

[Musician]

Pity, but I didn't test it yet.

Ok
If you measure this, can you check If its a THX crossover ( 24 dB/oct lowpass and 12 db/oct high pass - good If the main speakers are closed ) or if its 12/12 or 24/24 or maybe 18/18 ?

 

[Musician]

Exactly.


It's been LR4 on the amp and there's no change to be expected for the Ultra.

Is it LR4 for highpass also ? Or LR2 ?

 

[onlyoneme]

Is it LR4 for highpass also ? Or LR2 ?

For both filters on the Amp.

 

[Musician]

For both filters on the Amp.

24/24 LR lowpass and highpass then

 

[onlyoneme]

24/24 LR lowpass and highpass then

I posted the graph somewhere, probably in the comments for the test of the new Amp version.

Cant believe you guys are getting your orders fulfilled already ! Thats so cool...

watching you all you US guys get up and running is gonna be a real test for us UK guys sat patiently waiting for our preorders - i might have to leave the forum for a few weeks (/months !) If the fomo gets too much !

It’s not treated differently from other sources, same artwork, track info etc

So, does it show metadata updates, eg. Radio Paradise track changes?
