Updated WiiM Ultra and Amp Ultra Roadmaps Are Here

We just published an updated roadmap for the WiiM Ultra and the WiiM Amp Ultra, and we’ll be updating some other roadmaps soon. You can see the full details on our Help Center (Ultra| Amp Ultra), but here are some highlights and a quick look at where we're headed.

What This Roadmap Represents​

This is a transparent look at what we're actively building, what we're exploring, and what we've recently shipped. Some of these features will land exactly as described. Others might evolve as we work through technical realities and a few might not make it at all. You’ll also notice that there are no timelines, development is a long process and priorities shift throughout the year, so we’re not going to commit to specific timing right now.

We're sharing this openly because your feedback directly shapes our priorities. We watch all the forum conversations, app surveys, and feature requests you share, and use it all to feed into this. So check it out, and we hope there’s something in here you love the idea of!

These roadmaps focus on the Ultra and Amp Ultra first. They're our flagship devices with the hardware to support more advanced features. Where it makes sense and where it's technically feasible, we'll bring capabilities to other products in the lineup. Some features will be Ultra-specific by necessity.

Complete overhaul of the internet radio engine for faster buffering and higher bitrate streams. Expanded wireless subwoofer protocol to Roon and Google Cast. Support for USB libraries up to 200,000 tracks.

Your Suggestions!​

These roadmaps are a starting point. We're watching your responses, reading the threads, and paying attention to what resonates. If there's a feature you're interested in, say so. If something doesn't make sense for your use case, let us know, but be respectful. Not every feature is going to hit for every person, a feature you’ll never use might be exactly what someone else needs.

We're building this with you, not for you. The difference matters.
