Hi Smartplug, Team

We now have the first version of USB audio with Subwoofer Out functionality up and running. There are still a few issues we need to address before releasing it for Beta testing. We're aiming to release it within the next two weeks, so stay tuned!

Thank you very much for answering. You made us wiim user very happy for the information and progress of this feature and others.

Hi Team,

The DLNA Cast feature is still under development and under Beta testing too, and we're working to refine it before its public release. Thank you for your patience and support!

Thanks, I am on the Beta testing for this feature, and haven’t received any updates for more than two months.

They should have rolled out same time knowing there are more similarity than differences. I’m not sure if you noticed this but the older product are being left behind on updates while the newer one are constantly getting update.

Hi all! We're planning to release this update for the WiiM Amp within the next week. The team just needed to finish certifying some things for it. We are committed to keeping products up to date, even older ones.

Older ones? Is it even one year old yet?

The Mini is almost three years old so I think they're referring to their entire range.

Just seems an odd thing to say in a post about the Amp.

We’re getting our feet wet for the next exciting feature. Wiim strength is in software. They can add features via magic software that other streamers only offer bug fixes.
