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.


What's Next​

Display & Interface Upgrades

Input-specific screen layouts that remember your preferences and automatically switch based on active input. Black background mode for album art that blends seamlessly with the bezel. Standby and clock options including permanent clock display during playback with adjustable timeout durations. Direct USB and Favorites browsing on the touchscreen without needing your phone.

Next-Generation Room Correction

BassFit integration automatically aligns time and level between your main speakers and subwoofer for seamless low-end coherence. SurroundFit calibration provides precise automated alignment of front, surround, and subwoofer channels for immersive experiences. RoomFit+ evolution delivers tighter bass response and improved transient handling. CenterFit phantom center creates adjustable vocal enhancement for improved dialogue clarity. Context-aware bass management assigns independent crossover and gain settings per source. Discrete dual subwoofer control enables independent calibration to smooth out room modes.

Smarter Audio Processing

Scenario-based presets for Night, Dialog, and Sports modes powered by our 10-band PEQ engine. Adaptive dynamic loudness using Fletcher-Munson curves to preserve bass and treble at low volumes. Pro-grade filter import from REW or AutoEQ. Advanced profile management for transferring correction data across devices with Expert Mode for weighted measurements.

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.

Check out the full roadmaps (Ultra | Amp Ultra).
 
I require ,if the internal DAC is foolishly maintained despite its extra cost, unbalanced miniature inputs and outputs on the Camac, and no need for balanced XLR/mini XLR/jack connectors, which i doesn't need...

I also require the removal of the digital coaxial output, "has-been," in favor of an I2S output... (Toslink remains).

I'm not demanding it, but it would be good to remove the subwoofer output, which is hardly useful to me, in favor of a master clock input .....
I require a aes input. .. ( my drive cd have one)
Of course, at a reasonable price (around $100 more on an Ultra or "plus"?), a somewhat serious, high-end machine that will be useful to me...
otherwise, what's the point?
If this is not done, Wiim will have definitely lost me as a potential future customer.

This kind of thing allows for an upgrade in quality, and now the cost!!

This is the roadmap thread for new features. Since you're not a beginner, you know there's a separate thread for new product requests, right?😑
 
Nice, I like the form factor. Who uses it besides Topping for hi-fi, and where can you get good cables to mate with conventionally used XLRs on high-end gear?
Beyerdynamic uses mini-XLR as connector on their headphones with detachable cables.
That said mini-XLR cables are almost hen’s teeth compared to TRS and XLR which can be found everywhere.

But as has been stated this is a roadmap for existing HW.

Whether it's audio or DLNA, everything has been extensively discussed over the years, some topics are very old...
so I would really prefer that Wiim focus their energy on resolving and debugging these delicate issues, etc., rather than on marketing/teasing efforts like this thread... "to make them wait" ...
unless you acknowledge that what some people patiently and competently express over time is pointless anyway...
What's the point...?

( A little P.S.: Dynamic loudness, bass bost dynamique etc., like other "positif "processing, requires... auto-gain...)



Automatic gain /drc. PEQ enhancement.. Roomfit improvements etc...
The really pending topic...: subwoofer processing... (see developing synchronization solutions with dedicated Wiim in stereo)
DNLA

But the way they're mainly targeting "ultra" devices bothers me because, if it's not about the subwoofer aspect... these topics concern all Wiim devices...!

i must be missing something here, but the "Smart presets that trigger...and grouping simultaneously" feature can only be found with the "Beta Test: Input Source Porfile" firmware which doesn't work properly the last time i checked -
when using this beta, indeed one can apply a preset that group several devices through a specific preset. but when applying a different preset with a single device - it doesn't work and the same grouping remains.
I was advised this is an issue with the WHA itself and it would be solved "in the next app release" -
that was a month ago . see ticket #548640 beta:sound profile (still processing) .
If this was indeed fixed in recent WHA update, please let me know as I'd gladly switch back to the beta firmware for this feature

The team has already mentioned the next beta firmware here. That was 10 days ago. You should remember...
 
Like I said, I'll start looking elsewhere.
Let the children play with what they want to.

So far my WiiMs are running trouble-free. But as soon as any of those Gizmos start to interfere, be on the app side or the machines themselves, that'll be it for me.
But all or almost all that features can be disabled. So...

BTW, 2025 introduced many features and trouble-free has be the key (with some specific bugs in some areas, not soundwise, but usually corrected in days).

they publish this feature in the roadmap under "what we've already delivered" -
I don't consider a "soon to be released beta firmware" that wasn't even yet released, a "delivered feature". do you?
 
I think they simply forgot to include "(Beta)".
i think you shouldn't be replying for them - unless you get paid by WiiM (if that's true, that's just sad)
and since this discussed updated beta wasn't even released, i don't understand how is this considered "delivered feature"

@Wiimer is just being their usual optimistic helpful self, no need for the ad hominem attack. If you want a direct response from WiiM, raise a ticket.

define "helpful" ? the need to reply to every second message on these forums , isn't very "helpful" when you don't actually have useful input.

i mentioned above the ticket number from over a month ago, that is "still processing"

The team said in a post:

Smart Presets.
Enhancements include:
The ability to select playback behavior when a preset is triggered:
Current Device only
Current Group (if available)
A specified saved group


It seemed clear to me that this was an option to select a single device in the preset. And you saw this post and pressed the Good button. So why does the team need to check your ticket again?

this above quote is from a post they made 12 days ago
the roadmap post I'm replying to, is from last Friday, in which it is clearly stated the discussed feature "was already delivered".
well, it wasn't. even if one is using the BETA firmware , it does not work properly. do I need to spell it out for you?

i will "unlike" that post if that would make you happy or change anything, though i seriously doubt .
and let me ask you clearly, are you working for WiiM?
 
I'd like to see album art from 3 meters away. Phone, TV, or PC distract from serious listening.

I'm confused.

So you want to see the the screen from 3 meters away - which would certainly require eye strain, but from the other hand you don't want to have TV turned ON, because it distract from serious listening.

Maybe only to me, but it doesn't make any sense.
