Use inputs as presets

[cooky560]

It would be nice if I could set inputs as presents, so that rather than toggling "source" several times, I can just press 4 on the remote for my turntable, for example.

Auto mode doesn't work for my purposes as my phono stage seems to always make the amp think there's a signal on the line in.

Hi Bazmattaz,

We're working on this. Meanwhile, can you turn on the Auto-sensing for Line In (connected to your turntable)? Does this work for you? Thanks!

I had to turn auto sensing off for my turntable as it would randomly cause my Pro Plus to turn on (and in turn turn on the amp via trigger) a few times a day.

I think there's noise on the input, even when the preamp (Schiit Mani v1) is turned off (or maybe especially when it's off).

Maybe if we had an adjustable auto-sensing threshold? That said since using the turntable involves physically going there and manipulating things, also switching the input on the WiiM is easy But I concur it would be easier by just tapping a preset on the remote and not having to pull out the phone/tablet, navigate to the app, etc ..

I came here searching for this suggestion. I want the 1 on the remote to be Wi-Fi, and the 2 to be optical in.

Also, if the preset button on the front panel of the Pro and Plus could cycle through the presets (which could be assigned to inputs) then it could also act as a source button. Basically, allow the presets to also select the source, and not just the station or playlist.

Just bought a Wii amp and I love it , but want to add my voice to using the x4 presets to toggle between inputs on the amp. Please add this feature

This has been on WiiM’s roadmap and in their Alexa faq but not yet implemented. Please raise a ticket thru the settings/feedback section of the app to bring this back to their attention

I just groaned. I haven't gotten my Ultra yet, but my existing setup is a Gustard DAC with balanced output to an amp. The Gustard is similar to every DAC I've seen with a China manufacturer as the remote has no direct source buttons and you must toggle through the sources. The display fonts are so small it is impossible to see which source I'm on when using the remote, so I need to be right next to the unit.

I had a USB input as well as an optical and eventually gave up. Note that it is rare to see an AVR or preamp without discreet source buttons (TV, CD, DVD, etc) on the remote. The better remotes even allow macros with a change to a given source (change the TV input, etc).

I was hoping those days of toggling sources would be over.

Adding my vote, seems like simple coding - I'm surprised to see it unprogressed so many months on.

I'll upgrade when this is sorted otherwise it's a step back when used in place of an AVR.

I also was suggesting this, but after using the Ultra, I haven't found a need for it. I change inputs from Chromecast to Tidal To optical to HDMI and the Unit can sense the change and change sources accordingly. No need to manually change.

Cheers. Our TV is the default source to the current switch, my concern is when we change from internet radio or streaming back to TV, auto won't work. Likely the TV will be off, hard to say what flow works best. I already have the mini, trying to simplify.

I saw on another thread you can't disable unused inputs, flicking through them isn't the upgrade I'm after.

@WiiM Team Hi ! Is this still planned ? I remember this being listed as a future enhancement a few months back but no news since...

If we are talking about the presets.

Would be great if the presets would also remember different: subwoofer settings, EQ settings, max volume, RC settings
