Parametric EQ

Agreed
I too would like to see a parametric EQ added, but whether or not it is added, I would like to see a more professional user interface. Perhaps more then 10 bands if only GEQ, but the current one is hard to adjust even on a larger phone. If the EQ screen allowed landscape view that would help.
The WiiM can't be everything to everyone, but I am guessing since a PEQ was "coming soon" that it is a software thing and not a needed hardware upgrade.
There are a lot of software EQs and DSPs out there with really great screens. I hope WiiM uses some of them for inspiration.

It's really important feature for me too to use Parametric EQ.

I think using sliders on a smartphone is always a horrible thing. It takes 20 attempts to get things right. I would much prefer numeric input or up and down buttons for the values.

I am using the Wiim Pro with an Audiolab 7000a via Toslink and I am very happy with the Wiim Pro regarding its streaming and input management capabilities. It switches seamlessly between multiple sources without the need to switch manually which is great!
Before purchasing the Wiim Pro I read about the parametric Equalizer and I was disappointed when I found out it is missing. I measured magnitude curves of my room with the iOS app "House Curve" and would like to use the generated equalizer settings with my Wiim Pro which does not work currently.
The current equalizer is way to inaccurate since frequencies and Q values are fixed.

The support team responded with a PEQ.
It is scheduled for late July.
That's good news! Thank you for pointing out.
Thx!
Yes it does. They have measured all iOS devices and implemented compensations for them. Of course an external microphone could be a bit better but for room correction at home it should be fine.
I use this USB-C microphone on my Android phone. There's also Lightning-type. Not bad.
Omnidirectional. At least it's better than Android's built-in microphone.
And inexpensive

Boosting by 10dB and more is always a good idea and recommended.
Don‘t worry headroom is set to 10dB so there is no clipping.Boosting by 10dB and more is always a good idea and recommended.
The room is very big and 6 meters high without any acoustic optimization unfortunately

At least. But filling up those notches usually doesn't work properly. The more power you put in the more power is eaten up by the notch. Those notches are like black holes. Most likely the simulated frequency response doesn't show the truth.
Measurements, no simulation!: Grey (before) & green (after)
Yeah of course the notches eat additional energy but only to a certain degree as you can see above.
Comparing audio with pEQ and without shows major differences aswell. I tried to do a blind test on my wife and she preferred the pEQ version aswell.
Improving room acoustics would be much better of course but bass traps won‘t be approved anytime soon haha.
