I have just received a notification that my Ultra is ready for the December 18 update. Should I ignore it in favour of this new Dec 19 version, or is it required that I need the previous update for this new one to install successfully?

Oops... . Perhaps I should pay more attention to the title bar. You're right of course, I was referring to the standard Wiim Ultra, I did read the above title bar but my brain only absorbed what it wanted to see...

I like the new audio spectrum, more accurate than VU meters imo

It will be much more usable if they add the option to show the original signal.

And peek indicators would be great also.

And peek indicators would be great also.

I guess this is a work in progress, thus we should see a better implementation in a later update. BTW my WAU doesn't have received the update, I hope that it would get it soon.

The update was only announced yesterday, so we should all expect to receive it within the next few days.
