You all need to watch the episode of the Simpsons where Homer designs a car.

I’m still of an opinion, and I’m happy to be corrected if this is wrong.
The WiiM Mini still has AirPlay, and AirPlay cast from the Mini is no different to what it would have been from the Ultra. Ditto the Pro and Pro Plus.
You can plug the Mini’s optical out into the Ultra and still get all the Ultra’s advantages/usability.
The Ultra is £340 (UK). The Mini (if you don’t already have one - I suspect many do have a Mini, Pro or Pro Plus) is £90. That’s a total of £430. That’s still far less than most people expected the Ultra to be, and certainly far less than any competition.
I’m not saying that the situation is perfect, and I’m also not apportioning blame to either Apple or WiiM. For what it’s worth, I suspect cock up over conspiracy, and ‘cock up’ may well be harsh - more just unforeseeable events.
But I think what I’m saying is, any anger, etc., should be in the context of the ease and low cost of a simple solution.
Just my opinion.
Enjoy seamless integration with a range of smart speakers, such as AirPlay 2, Amazon Alexa, and our exclusive multiroom feature. Effortlessly form groups with other AirPlay 2 or Alexa devices like Echo and HomePod, or connect multiple WiiM devices for synchronized playback across various audio devices simultaneously.
I’ve done google searches and not found any non-Apple devices that broadcast Airplay2. Is this new? Did Roon do it?Bluesound?Hello, JLS. Correct, I would like to know if that description of characteristics was made by WiiM or Amazon. On the other hand, it would not be bad, in case they were wrong, to make a statement asking for an apology. I think most would understand it. In the humility of recognizing one's own mistake, one sees the greatness of a person, or in this case, of a company.

You could use an LMS server to do this. The WiiM Ultra will work as a Squeezelite player. I've used LMS for years. I currently use my Ultra to select music using the WiiM app on my phone and also LMS.
