Is it possible for @WiiM Team to share their view on the matter ?

If by UPnP casting you mean to non-WiiM devices then surely that won't include grouping at all, or at least not synchronised?

I wonder if WiiM might be adventurous and implement something like this that I just stumbled across today?

I'd be surprised if it's not already based on it, as it's an extension to UPnP like OpenHome is (both from Linn I think).
Are you thinking to achieve synchronised hires (across WiiM devices)?

Yeah, perhaps, as a follow on from my previous remarks

I thought 'UPnP casting' would be to non-WiiM UPnP renderers, the vast majority of which don't implement Songcast, so whether WiiM does or not really doesn't matter.
Will be interesting to see what it offers though, especially if you can cast from any source e.g. Qobuz, to a regular UPnP speaker without going through the phone. What's the business justification though?

Nice to see Plex integration coming

I really hope it comes soon. It’s very quiet around this feature currently.

For me I don't even need much functionality as long as it is an endpoint I can control from Plexamp on another device that is all I need.

How is upsampling going ?! Anybody tested it in beta ? Do you find differences in sound quality ?

50 percent of my listening is to SiriusXm. I have a car subscription, and streaming is included. With all the car subscriptions out there a home streamer is a no-brainer. Currently have two SONOS Ports, but the Ultra has phono input and USB support, two features SONOS will never have. I’m hoping WIIM will get Sirius by Christmas.

I’ve gotten some attention on the SOSOS Reddit by mentioning WIIM.

It's not... it is currently more similar to gmrender / gmrender-resurrect
Also, upmpdcli implements both OpenHome and UPnP-av, and can also create media servers of various types.
