What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

canard said:
a subsidiary like here saddens me a little because it really seems that the fixed idea, apart from the fact that everyone goes there according to their own needs, is a sort of accumulation of "functions for cheap" without being interested in the successful or not aspect of those already existing important, even for the benefit of energies on anecdotal subjects like vus meter clock dsd etc etc
but
peq, rc (difficult and heavy subject) processing of usb, dlna...
???

already reaching all these essential subjects, some of which have been going on for years before adding more would be a good approach "to the future" it seems to me...

Don't be sad, it's not worth and life is short. I think that as a Wiim owner, justs like you are probably too, I have every right to make a suggestion on a forum called "what products to would like to see Wiim produce". If you don't like it there's no need to make a philosophy out of it, just ignore it and enjoy :)
 
"I accompany" wiim since the beginning of 2022 and have two of their products...and therefore a little perspective...
You just shouldn't confuse the volume of features and the actual quality of their achievements.

Why would you want to plug a microphone into the Ultra when you can plug the same microphone into your phone?

yes stupide....
adding a microphone input on a future ultra would be fun when we know how lucky we are to be able to capture at the level of our phone, tablet, etc. long cable 48v etc

We already don't have any symmetric outputs since the "pro or plus"...

WiiM are great at making high quality, plug and play, one box does all devices. So how about WiiM provide a mic for calibration, like they do with AV amps. Option to use an upgraded one if desired.
 
because we are lucky to be able to treat it at the level of a phone or tablet with a type of microphone dedicated to this use (already existing and inexpensive...) ..... mobile.... very practical and more suitable....
I don't know of any micro blue or wifi measuring calibrated for a few dozen euros...all that remains are the long cables, the stand, etc.
people with hdg measurement microphones will go through sound cards and rew etc anyway

I really hope that wiim hires competent people in audio, the audio world, to sort through the internet feedback "from the community" which really quickly shows all these limits... see much more without it... more hindsight... I'm not talking about the streaming aspect etc which is their original domain


that they already put two balanced outputs (see 2 l/r boxes) which are expected since at least the "plus" version will be rather important.. and analogue input and headphone output with higher quality... especially if the idea is to realize a successful streamer-preamp...

That might be similar to what I wrote here earlier? 😄

Yep. Sonos' market share eclipses all of the "high end" streaming providers by far, and they "only" do 24/48. The post being reacted to here never stated at any time that he required high sample rate support, simply that he wished for a USB input. There are certainly many different DACs that...

just when the first questions, bugs, absences, were asked in private etc and that clearly the interlocutors seemed to discover these "audio" subjects, or a policy of "marketing" promises whose impacts clearly seemed to be poorly understood (it has been going in the right direction for a while... is no longer really the case. "there is already enough to do")...
the energy and efforts could clearly be redirected towards other things than managing a forum, the "net community" etc.... constantly busy repeating themselves on "simple" unresolved subjects....
would be good to be able to talk here sometimes with their "armed" technical managers... this is never the case for example in more than 2 years...
It wastes everyone's time.....

well no..there is no microphone input...
remains the option to optimize the external microphone dedicated to simply put on our phone or tablet... there are entire threads on this subject

There is a USB port though and many of the measurement mic’s actually use USB so not that bad of an idé.

it seems that there is already a lot to do on the USB side...and what's more, there are few of them in USB measurements (miniDSP)...and they can already be supported on the phone/tablet side...good costing on the cable length side for your idee ;-)

what s microphone vignus? ,-)

Which mic is it?

It came with my DSPeaker X2 which, btw, I'll probably put back into my system.
Funny though... I asked 2 questions on this forum: with my first one the answer I got was "use another app", and the other one is this one about external mic, where I was basically told I was stupid.
Wiim Ultra is a great machine, and I wish I could say the same about people answering my questions. Maybe one day we'll get there.

I used to own a DSpeaker ”Anti mode dual core”, I hated what it did to the dynamics of the music/sound, so removed it and sold it at half the price.
Dont get me wrong, I wanted it to work and resolve the low end issues, but it affected the sound way to much.

Agree on the Anti mode, but the new X2 is way better

your current dsp does not allow acquisition via the application on your phone or tablet? ..
the particularity of the wiim or housecurve approach....which explains why efforts can be concentrated on this path
remains the use of a same modest sound card and rew for those using classic measurement microphones (what I was pointing out when talking about solutions with hdg "cal" microphones )...and then manual integration into wiim
wiim must progress in its capture mode, the cal, the support of the few inexpensive microphones available for this approach ( like dayton)... but for the "general public" the approach makes a lot of sense
