Was it intentional that the status LED is darker after the update? (Doesn't really matter, just noticed it).

Where/how can I adjust the volume level (remote control) or does this still need to be integrated into the app?

Under remote settings, under remote, in device settings in the app.

Now I got it, had not given the location approval permanently ...

I do not see smart presets as I see on Ultra.

You all are smokin' right now! Wow, that opens up some options, fantastic.

PS: Could you buy Sonos?

Why?? Why would WiiM PAY to take on someone else's MESS??

There’s little overlap between their respective hardware and partnership could be complimentary…Sonos hardware is excellent, its software needs the help and WiiM excels there. They don’t really compete with each other now either, different markets. They would take share from Denon, Klipsch, Polk, Sony

Many of streamers that are expensive has excellent hardware but lacking of skills on software. Software first before hardware.

Not so fast. At least for me, a streamer is a gateway device to receive quality audio streams. It may have the best control software in the world but fails roundly if the stream is poor quality.

Can this high end can get firmware update to give you rc for free? What about adding peq or geq via firmware update? All I have been seeing their software updates are just bug fix.

Let me clarify… WiiM has good hardware and great software.

Hardware-wise the Ultra USB out to a good DAC is a very good streamer.

Software-wise? DSP, PEQ, RC are fine but not for me. Certainly not on my main system which does not need any digital processing. But if you need those, they are there and they work.

Horses for courses.

True, you can use them if you need them but you can turn them off if you did not like them or the result. Atlist there’s a choice than no choice at all.

Have you measured the frequency response of your system in your room and found it to be perfectly smooth with no bass peaks caused by room interaction or are you just happy with the sound?

My ears are the ultimate sensor for me, but yes I have checked a spectrum analysis of the system/room and that confirmed what I knew by hearing.

Wondering if all this might change with the next WiiM AMP Pro firmware.

 

[satek77]

After this update volume at 1 (on 0 to 100 scale) is too loud! Please restore old volume bahavior, I need more precision on low volume

Edit: after changing Volume Limit to 60-75% works as expected

Volume on 1 is never a good idea.

It still isn't a good idea.
