So your "serious software really not within the skills of wiim" comment was just intentionally coarse for nothing. Thanks, but keep it next time.
What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

- Start date
you I am, supporting wiim since 02/22...so I think I have a certain perspective on the qualities, practical skills, of wiim....

Ok. Why do you then use their products and stick around here if you have such a low opinion of their abilities? Even if they didn’t have those skills in house, who’s to say they wouldn’t insource them? Or re the microphone, use a “qualitative” external microphone, suitable connected to the Pro’s line in?
That’s a very blunt, if not insulting assertion.
have you already carried out acoustic measurements, room corrections, used powerful software such as rew rephase etc??
ingenuous dystiramb will not necessarily help wiim to progress wiim positively....

I don’t see the relevance of that personal question.
let's help wiim to already realize their promises as a qualitative "10-band" peq mode
,-)
dynamic loudness isn't so tough. You could also just create an adjustable loudness contour with a slider in the app. If the EQ is there, the possibility is there. Tough part is, perhaps, that the stream may have to be interrupted to implement the new contour....and may be something with a Hayabusa Supercharger? In dark blue? And with side-pipes! And most important: Not more than 400 €.

I'm likely an outlier on this - I don't want anything more from WiiM, other than what the Pro currently delivers. I replaced a Bluesound Node 2 with my Wiim Pro, and now I pretty much just want it to work and forget about it. It do hope that the automatic firmware updates are thoroughly tested before being pushed out, because for the most part, I just want the device to behave correctly like it does now. I'm using it only for Qobuz and Spotify streaming device to a very capable external DAC and downstream component stack (Benchmark), and the rare Chromecast or AirPlay use. I don't need any equalizer functionality, or really, anything other than what the WiiM Pro does now. As long as it continues to work well, and doesn't mess with the bit stream, I'm happy.

Same. Keep it simple. Keep it inexpensive. Keep up with the product updates. We’ll keep spreading the good word about Wiim.
Wiim mini & PRO:
LDAC codec for Bluetooth, both transmit and receive.
USB out.
Matching amplifier with builtin PSU.

- The next level of the Pro Plus with aluminum case, HDMI in/out, a volume knob. Maybe a built-in linear power supply. Output menus and song info to a tv would be nice too. I would upgrade today.

A browser based UI, similar to what Weiss has done here:

Include a presentation (now playing) mode too, of course. Should be plenty of power in the Pro / Pro Plus to support this.
Weiss DAC501 Streamer and DAC Review
This is a review, listening tests and detailed measurements of the Weiss DAC501 balanced DAC, headphone amp and network renderer. It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $9995. The case is fine enough but not nearly so for what it costs. Stamped steel should have no place in this price...

I’d imagine the price for bespoke builds like that would go thru the roof…
I'm struggling to see how a subwoofer out fits with no DA conversion. A digital sub, with a standalone LP filter??
Yes, and I am struggling to see the need for Gigabit Ethernet to stream music!
