The competition doesn't sleep

there is always this line of force...
wiim linkplay does not come from audio...

Now it's very much intertwined... You can't do without software. Historically, FiiO releases a buggy product to the market, then tries to fix it or supplement it, and then abandons it and removes it from production, and the client is left with a product that barely works. I say this as an owner of the UTWS5. And the hardware in this device is excellent.

Does the FiiO have Squeezelite? If so you can do without software . On the other hand you just buy a Raspberry Pi instead of the FiiO and save loadsamoney.

Or if it's just too cheap & Chinese, splash out on something like a Naim streamer for a few thousand euros/dollars

I've searched the web and found this from Riva:

What HiFi - I know, I know - has another compliment for the Ultra. In its recent comparison WiiM and Cambridge driving in circles round the Nodes and the entry Audiolab.

Firmware Updates — Riva Audio

For anyone, coming across this thread in a search for updating Riva speakers, be aware that the new Riva Audio app is now available on the PlayStore (and maybe on the IOS App Store ?). This will now update your speakers in a much easier way directly via the app itself

The USB output may be of particular interest to some. The NE-2 got a very positive review on ASR

It seems a good piece of hardware but as usual, ASR doesn't go in depth to user interfaces, regarding compatibility and versatility that are the best features of WiiM.

No I am going by early reviews

LOL are you saying you compare and talk about something you never heard?
