Hi wiimers, first post here, I have a Mini and considering buying an Ultra. I would connect it to my TV via HDMI and output via RCA to my Marantz stereo receiver (currently TV is directly linked to receiver via optical). I like the idea of having equalizer and room correction available.
I see "Add support for 5.1 and 7.1 multi-channel audio playback, which will be converted to stereo audio during playback" in a recent update. Anyone using this? What codecs are supported exactly, just AC3 or EAC3 too? How is the sound quality, would you say it's an improvement setting your TV to passthrough and letting Wiim decode to stereo over your TV just outputting stereo PCM? Any issues (lag, pops, sound dropouts...)?
