What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

@TonyE Which DACs would you recommend that's better than Eversolo?

 

[Sotjas]

It would be great if the remotes could control the volume of an external amp. That way I can use the streamer aspects of Wiim, enable fixed volume on the Wiim (as part of bit perfect), but control volume with the same remote rather than pick up another

Like that idea!

Can't see how that would work as in one hand you're fixing volume then wanting to change it. The WiiM remotes can only be Bluetooth paired with one device at a time and have a fixed control set that the external amp wouldn't necessarily be able to interpret. What you're really after is a remote for your amp.

@FuckaZip Why are we getting 'listening to' posts in the 'what products' thread?

 

[FuckaZip]

...because “we” made a mistake
(will be deleted) - thanks!

I'd love a battery powered wifi speaker like the Audio Pro A15. An Audio Pro A15 Wiim edition would be nice!

Release a universal remote control, learning infrared and Bluetooth, with button remapping. I'd buy one too.

It already exists, doesn't it?

Nope.

 

[Doublej]

This might be audio blasphemy but changing LINE IN from RCA jacks to a 3.5mm jack should give enough space for WiiM to include a second analog input on their units or or a coaxial digital input.

No thanks.

What products would you like to see based on what you've experienced so far?

Standmount speakers as already made a subwoofer

That would be nice... but it will make it heavy, huh?

The Sound weights 2.2 Kg already. I got a big brick that I can take along... and it gives me about five hours.

What I would like instead, is using an USB-C power port. it might reduce the weight of the speaker?

It would be nice to pair a tactile Bluetooth volume knob for those of us who keep the unit across the room. Or a separate, physical 10 band EQ. That would be a sick little addition to an Amp or streamer. Either something that looks similar vintage gear or even a steam deck

Yeah, we've asked if it's possible to sync Fosi VOL20, but unfortunately, we cannot. If they could basically make exactly that, but work with WiiM streamers, it would be absolutely marvelous.

Yeah. Figured that out as well. Missed the feel of using the knob as soon as I moved my amp ultra across the room to connect it to the TV. Remote is cool, app is convenient, but a tactile controller or the ability to pair it with at least a knob would be nice.

Check this.

Roon-Knob - includes LMS support - Lyrion : Community : Forums

There is a new hardware controller available - Roon-Knob - using a Waveshare Knob device. It is a round touch screen device with a rotatable ring that can be powered by battery or USB-C and has ESP32 inside. It even has a 3.5mm audio output socket. (I wonder if Squeezelite ESP32 would run on it...

Come on... getting up is good exercise...

My main preamp is mono block... there are actually separate pots for left and right.. and they are not detented... so it's good exercise to get up and then develop a keen sense of "balance" hearing.

Not to mention.. OMG... every 15 minutes or so... I have to flip over the record.

Oh, yeah. I have the Ultra's volume disabled too...

Maybe what you need is display screen that shows a cartridge tracking on a record. After every 15 minutes of music, the cartridge "lifts" from the record and then you have to... get up and walk over and "lower" the cartridge onto the record for the music to continue...

Make my cartridge an Ortofon Cadenza Black.

How about a "pop" generator too? Introduce some pops into the music.

Hmm.. how about a turntable "sound" simulator... so the the Linn LP12 sounds sublime and all of the direct drives ( hear that Technics? ) sound like they are always hunting for the speed?

I walk 10-12 miles a day at work. I’m good, bro lol. Actually another complication is that I have disabled children that would just loooove to get their curious, grubby little hands on my gear. I have my Amp Ultra in a clear locked box and my speakers mounted out of reach.
