What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

[Steve Woodhouse]

I won't go into detail about your observations (some of which I accept as entirely valid), but you are jumping to false conclusions and expressing your frustration in this way is neither helpful nor appropriate here.

I concede it is my opinion. And you will have yours.

Are my comments helpful? Perhaps not, you might think. Perhaps you have a point.

But are canard's constant idiotic posts helpful? And is the moderation of allowing them to continue to be allowed unchecked helpful?

Everyone will be entitled to their own opinion on that.

I have suggested a way forward which I believe would work for everyone, and cause far less friction than the current situation. Simply ask canard to write messages in his native tongue, then run them through Google Translate. Takes 5 seconds. Then there would be no argument.

My comments are a symptom of the frustration which his posts cause, something you appear to accept.

So how about we deal with the cause, rather than treating the symptom?

your aggression towards me is astonishing... I have been participating in my own way in this forum since 2022 without having been similarly singled out for vindictiveness...
I write in my mother tongue in a very clumsy way and use Google Translate... which I can see gives an even worse result...
I am sorry and it is not new...


I remind you that nothing prevents you from not reading me etc...
easy... (I think there is even a filtering option)

"un appel a la vindicte pour si peu...etonnant"

I don't attack you.....you attack me and make fun of me...
no?
end

Trust me, quoting from an accurate and relevant reference from Sibony does absolutely nothing to support the idea that we should have some sympathy for you due to some sort of lack of ability. It only underlines that your posting style is entirely deliberate.

And Google Translate does not insert or remove ransom line breaks or ellipses.

Just to repeat, I am not vindictive, and it's not personal. It's just that your posts make reading these forums extremely difficult, and it's abundantly clear that it's entirely deliberate on your part.

Do not try to deflect blame elsewhere. The choice is entirely yours.

No, that's clearly inaccurate. If your ability to write was as bad as it appears, and as you claim, and you use Google Translate, then clearly you would not be in any position to judge the results from Google Translate.

Please explain how your comprehension is so very poor in one area, and yet brilliant enough for you to critique translation to another language?

bye...

You see. That's understandable.

The text that is, not you throwing your toys out of the pram.

If you think your posts are in any way 'fun', I'd politely suggest you think again.

 

[Lukey]

Similar to WiiM Ultra but a straight up streamer - No DAC, no phono input.

A larger screen and great power supply and performance

 

[AudioPervert]

Power upgrade the ultra

 

[hgo58]

Power upgrade the ultra

Just for my curiosity. What would be the purpose of doing that?

More than half of what he say I don’t understand. It’s just hard to understand a twisted recoiled english.

@RyanWithWiiM can you give us a clue without breaking the rules about the next product to be released?

I would like to see an advanced remote as an add-on like described in thread 'Remote Control Pro with access to 12 presets (for WiiM: Amp, Amp Pro, Ultra, Pro, Pro Plus, Mini...)' https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/...-pro-ultra-pro-pro-plus-mini.6004/post-109930

With the best analog output stage

If they manage to produce a pure streamer with no DAC but the best analogue output stage then their next product should be nothing less than a pocket quantum computing centre.

Would love to see a future Ultra update include the ability to set high and low pass filters at nearly any frequency. For example, it would be great if the WiiM could be used as an active crossover for speakers that can be bi-amped.

If the sub output could be crossed over as high as say, 3000Hz, that would enable many owners to use the Ultra as an active crossover between the tweeters and woofers of their main speakers, providing an instant sound quality upgrade for many speaker systems. This would further solidify the Ultra as the ultimate Swiss Army knife of audio.

A portable travel speaker that doesn't require wifi but still delivers high quality sound from streaming and controlled by phone or tablet.

How can it deliver high quality sound from streaming not using WiFi? If you rely on Bluetooth it won’t be high quality and you’d only have limited control (like a physical remote control) from your phone.

I agree...instructions unclear...

Could be a portable speaker with a large, rechargeable battery capacity and a dock/USB port for wired cell phone/tablet connection...but I don't see the value in that since plenty of such products already exist in the market

Could be a portable, as you said, a device that relies on Bluetooth (bleh, my mouth has an awful taste just saying that word), which, again, doesn't really provide a lot of value since there are also plenty of such products from other companies already on the market, plus it would sound like poo unless it has LDAC, APTX Lossless, and/or LHDC support (but then again...how good is the speaker component going to sound anyway?)

Could be a portable speaker with a USB port and/or flash memory slot and can play from the attached library. So it would be like a combination DAP (see devices like HiBy R4) combined with integrated speaker.

Could be a portable speaker with a SIM card slot so it can stream over cellular, but how many people would be willing to pay for cellular service just for their boombox?

[asnow1]

The downsides of current portable bluetooth speakers:
-below par sound quality
-lack of consistent connectivity
-inability to listen to bluetooth stream when taking a call or any other youtube etc
I don't know the limitations of the technology of bluetooth. I just want the same quality, flexibility, and connection stability that I get at home with WiiM Ultra with a portable device with active speaker. Not saying it's easy or even possible, just a non tech consumer asking for what I'd like WiiM to come up with!
