I connected my Oppo 105D up to the Ultra via Toslink fiber (used the conveniently provided WiiM optical cable) and I have both the Oppo out set to LCMP192 as well as the Ultra "Line-In Input Resolution" set to 24/192, and anywhere else it should be set on the Ultra, that's what it's set to.

Oddly when I fire up a couple of Rhino discs, they only show 24/48 on the Ultra, but if I send it to my Onkyo AVR it plays at 24/192 as expected.

I vaguely recall initially mentioned that it was fixed at this rate, then later 24/192 with a SW patch. I'm on the last Ultra patch (waiting for their Russian Roulette style distro of the latest SW patch to fire off), so maybe this is fixed, or maybe not? :sleep: :rolleyes::unsure::oops::sneaky:

EDIT: Played with it some more, if I'm playing a SACD and switch to the Ultra Optical In, for about a second it does change the display to show 24/192 but then it goes to "Stopped Playing". Odd, like maybe a handshake issue or ? Sounds like a bug.

Hi, a search on the forum I found your post with the exact same problem, have you solved it? is how? Thank you!
 
Could be a HDCP issue, have a Google see if that’s applicable - probably.
 
All these high number are just good to look at but they don’t deliver wow factor over 16/44. Most of these high res are not native on their master tape. Mostly are just upsampling.

SACD is DSD, proprietary to Sony, Marantz, Denon. The Wiim can't decode it.
You would have to use the analog output from the player, into the Wiim analog input.

The only thing thats clear, is that you can't hear the difference.
