Screen Options

[SansuiSushi]

Came up with some ideas I would like to see as options for that screen

Why don't you fight for persistent overload indicators, or even a numerical true peak indicator that would really have an important use?
(all the more so when we can manipulating DSPs like here)

when "decorum" makes you miss out on important things in audio fonctions..

(moreover overload information ( if possible true peak) which also by wiim home can serve all models of wiim)

@WiiM Team You may also consider to remove the background image of the home screen. That would make it look more professional.

We still have this toy background on the Ultra home screen.

I think it is time to get the look and feel updated, across all pages, to be consistent and clean.

A professional looking screen layout would enhance the feeling of a high-end device.

Yesssss maybe it's time to get the GUI on point, now that the constant flow of new features is starting to dwindle a bit (let's not forget about Plex though )

Dlna etc etc

Fonctions for all produits wiim...not just screen of ultra

This thread is about the screen of the Ultras but enhancements are of course not exclusive.

I forgot...
Remind me... what is the use of an FFT in this case?

Sorry for the delay... It's simply less depressing to see of an out-of-control, off-scale thumping needle.
That's why i do not use the current VU visualization.

If I'm not mistaken, the Ultra was released in June/July 2024...and since then, a FFT has been requested, constantly...a great classic (even if hardly used)

and VU meters (relevant)...

 

[Saponetto]

A great classic, indeed...

A great classic, indeed...

with the VU meters among the most anticipated things in "dansing decoration"... clearly "seller", but if wiim does not have the resources to realize them or to realize them in a relevant way, which clearly seems to be the case over the months, we might as well move on to more useful things....

WiiM didn't stop updating the "VU meters" again and again, so the topic is obviously still hot.

Personally I don't care much about these meters. But I musts confess that I find any attempt to create a "true" VU meter (which by very definition is an analogue device) completely pointless as long as the signal it's based on is in the digital domain. A digital peak meter had some usefulness but might be less pleasing to watch.

That is why some of us have tried to get WiiM to understand how you could actually create a analog VU meter design that could be useful in the digital domain.

First thing is to use the dBFS scale and not the analog dBvu scale.

Next is to calibrate the needle for the dBFS scale so the display is not some random numbers. There may be some issues here as WiiM uses 32 internally, while the meter should show 24 bits level?

Finally there should be a peak indicator when 24 bit sample is at max (all 1's if unsigned Integer).

A real digital peek meter would be great and useful but I would not use it for normal display. It would be too disturbing.

a true peak overload downstream of all digital processing would be useful...with referrals to Wiim Home for ALL Wiim products...
that would be useful...
