WiiM Pro is now Roon Ready

[canard]

Ma conviction : Avec cette étape vers RR la WiiM est enfin la solution logique pour un streamer.
Cela le rend si abordable que l'argent économisé pourrait être utilisé pour tous les éléments environnants comme les amplis, les haut-parleurs, les DAC, etc.

not for "mini"

My conviction: With this step to RR the WiiM is finally the logical solution for a streamer.
It makes it so affordable that the saved money could be used for all the surrounding stuff like amps, speaker, dacs and so on.

It is incredibly good for the price!!

not for "mini"

Ok, forgot to mention that explicit. Never used a mini, so everything I write is related to the Pro!
And of course to all the other great questions of human being

Firmware arrived in the south of Germany.

Roon update
received- up
and running- brilliant.

Did any other folks who got the early access get a different version of the update? I got 4.8.521335, build date 20230627 on both my Pros

Looks like I'm now patiently waiting for the official build. I hope getting the beta doesn't delay things.

All these lucky people with the update! I had my MAC on the list and never received it. :-( Still nothing today. There doesn't seem to be a way to force/search either.

First quick curiosity only try with ARC far away from the core: Smooth and gentle

 

[onlyoneme]

Well...


Why is that?

 

[markdel]

Any idea what was the cheapest RR streamer before?

Probably the iFi Zen Stream ($399). Could probably build one with a Raspberry Pi (if you can find one) and Ropieee for a little less than that.

Are you sure you are choosing the RAAT version? There should be 2 Wiim Pros to select as a device. You may even have to enable it.

There is actually 3 sorry, Chromecast, airplay and the 'roon ready' version.

I've enabled only raat.

 

[joffy1780]

Yeah, sorry, was just checking and those options aren't even there on the Chromecast and airplay options.
Do you definitely have your sample rate on the max in the pro settings?

I've enabled only raat.

I have the beta, but not the official build yet. I can't imagine there is any difference other than the minor bug fixes (which seem to be the same fixes every update)

 

[joffy1780]

I've enabled only raat.

It is the settings on your pro. Change the output settings, then restart Roon

Yes, I have 192 kHz set as a max in the WHA for selected output. There is an issue when output is changed and different max values are set - Roon app cannot recognize it.

 

[joffy1780]

Yes, I have 192 kHz set as a max in the WHA for selected output. There is an issue when output is changed and different max values are set - Roon app cannot recognize it.

I have just gone through and changed my output settings (both coax and optical) and each time I changed and I restarted Roon, the settings available within Roon were changed to reflect the different max output. If I set to 44.1k it doesn't even show the options within Roon.
Roon just needs a restart.

 

[onlyoneme]

Yes, Roon restart is needed in such situation.

Sent Wiim pro MAC address, waiting!
How long does it take to resolve an issue?
