WiiM Pro Plus - now ROON ready and certified

Thank you for this answer and please let me know if it is possible to disable the "Roon Ready" (RAAT protocol) functionality?
You can’t disable any of its streaming protocols they are always available. If you don’t use Roon it doesn’t affect anything so why disable it?
 
But Linkplay announced that such possibility in general could be available in the future.
I think that was in relation to the Mini, as it had limited memory, they discussed optional firmware with and without Roon (as with Roon you'd loose other functionality). With Pro and pro+ nothing is lost with Roon added, so option to remove is of limited value (my opinion).
 
I’ve just fired up a trial of Roon and the WiiM Pro is no different - it doesn’t reflect any changes the WiiM device might have made to the signal path either. I wonder if WiiM were to provide that info now, might that mean the devices would need to be recertified by Roon? If that were the case, then I’d suspect they’d not bother…

No, it was about the ability to disable/enable particular services on the device.


 
I have two units and the first was updated last night, the second is in process as I type this. That's faster than what I've previously seen in terms of getting both units updated. (Of course this is only the third FW update so I'm not working with a huge sample size...)

You don’t have to go through it all again things do get updated by other vendors occasionally to fix bugs that come up due to other firmware changes. Bluesound forever break stuff.
 
a new firmware this morning...but still a new one now (93.49)....

Ok I see, the concern is about useless chatter on the network I assume then
 
Listening for 8 hours to music via Roon from my Roon server. It's flawless. Very Happy :-)
 
I can use Qobuz natively in the Wiim app (on an iPhone) at full resolution but when I try to implement it via the Roon server, it defaults to 16/44 via Airplay. I've installed and reinstalled but nothing seems to correct the situation. Any advice?

You should be able to go into settings in Roon and enable the Roon Ready WiiM Pro/Plus device

Yes, in Roon, it shows under settings >audio, the various devices but the Wiim PP is listed but with "Via Airplay" in the box description.

I don’t have my PC on just now, but I could see Roon Ready, Chromecast and AirPlay options for both my Pro and Pro Plus.
