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​

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.

I'm days away to switching to BluOS. Currently Wiim are more focused on decorating the cake before finishing making it
As a former BluOS customer (twice!) it's not all roses on that side either. Streaming was generally okay, but they still haven't fixed a bug with local libraries that myself and others had reported multiple times since 2020. Basically if there are albums that share the same name as that of another
artist, browsing via the Artist section often picks up the release date from the other artist's album which makes viewing an artist's albums chronologically a real pain! They've acknowledged the issue years back, and even said it was in their list of things to fix. Over 5 years later and people are still waiting for it to be fixed. Their roll-out of BluOS 4 a couple of years back was a joke, with the new "improved" software riddled with bugs that often didn't get resolved for months.
 
Why the penchant for “native integration” when you can have all the features of the Idagio app and Chromecast it to a WiiM device without loss of quality?

I don’t see a similar quest for an all-in-one universal video streaming app on your tv that gives you access to all Netflix, Apple TV, Prime, Disneyplus etc content, so I don’t get why some feel the need for the WiiM Home app to be a universal music player. In reality, many third party APIs offer fewer features than the native apps, and that’s why I personally prefer the use of Qobuz Connect, Amazon Music Alexacast etc rather than the Wii app. The lack of a universal steaming video app doesn’t stop people using their TV, so why should the lack of a universal music player in the shape of the WiiM home app stop you using a WiiM device?

Sorry, rant over ;)

The big advantage of features like Qobuz Connect etc. is that streaming music is handed off from the iPad (or similar) to the WiiM, thus freeing up the iPad and saving battery life. This is disappointing.
 
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.
Thank you for making me laugh. Yes, dear WiiM, please remove everything that is not useful for me if you don't mind. 😊
And if you don't do as I say, you will lose me as a potential customer. 😂😂😂

Thanks for pointing out the insanity, but you’re still being too generous. They want the DAC and a whole bunch of useful I/O stripped out of the unit so that audiophool stuff like master clock inputs can be added. Beyond master clocks being to a total waste of time and money, that totally sounds like WiiM and a mass-market budget device that will appeal to millions.

Where do these people come up with this stuff?

Alright, back to roadmap. Hoping to see some of the “in-progress” items start hitting the Ultra firmware updates soon.

Is this correct ?
Surely you are still running a control point app on the iPad albeit the Wiim home app rather than the Qobuz app so where is the battery saving ?

I respect that. :oops:
But if your standards and experience in audio are modest... why not let Wiim have ambitions as a "source of truly high-quality audio," or even benefit from the experience of more expert or demanding people?
It's a shame to drag Wiim down like this...
:cool:

You can turn of the iPad if you want. As you say, it's only a controller and don't need to run unless you want to control something.

So, yes you will save battery and don't have to have the iPad running.

This is true for all smart phones and tablets. The exception is when using AirPlay or Bluetooth or if you play local content.

The thing is that you seem to enjoy forcing others to have ambitions in the direction you like to see.

Yep, the same applies to apps like mconnect. You need to keep them running, at least in the background.
Using mconnect to listen to an album in your bedroom while dozing into sleep the phone‘s battery will be drained considerably over night.

Uhhh...

it just seems that some people, judging by the harshness of their messages, didn't understand that it was meant to be mockery/humor...
Some understood it...others apparently did not.
"derision" in French

true that. Wiim's ambitions will thankfully be shaped by the majority (of the plebs) rather than the minority (of self-appointed experts)

to be fair, humour in such a forum with people from all around the world, all ages and all walks of life is hard to assess...?
qu'est ce qu'on est futés nous les français :rolleyes:

I thought that the excess, the blatant clichés, of my argument made it obvious
a reaction to the """demands"""" of some
;-)

I absolutely believed that was the case with your original post, being French myself helps (maybe?)...but then I got confused :cool: oh boy...
