WiiM Ultra Firmware v5.2.625032 Update - Aug 2, 2024

[sNc]

Normally 2V is fine but in my case I had to dropped to 800mv to become useable volume

Where this can be set? I don't have my Ultra yet, but I'm wondering already

Under audio setting line level 5 to choose from.

 

[Wiimer]

Has anyone been able to see the latest firmware Per-channel PEQ on the Android version of the app?

I have the beta firmware so can't check that.
Thank you.

 

[Abdo]

Yes, I have.

I'm starting to suspect that my update is strange, because I haven't been able to do it yet. I'm starting to imagine that the schedule was released by region, like North America, Europe, Asia... I'm in Brazil, Latin America, since the product isn't even available here yet and I bought it in Miami, but I'm in Brazil... they'll leave it for the last one...

It is common for there to be a delay of about two days after someone first gets it.
After 72 hours, you should be a little worried.

This seems to be WiiMs process, they don’t update all units at the same time, it can take some days before you get the update.

It takes a day or two. Mine hasn’t updated yet either.

Interesting avatar dog is gone.

I’m much more interested on the next enhancement of rc which wiim stated to be coming soon. Auto phase, auto level, auto crossover on sub and individual channel peq. I heard node is adding Dirac room correction just wondering if it’s free update or not.

Claims he's happy with the results of the Ultra replacing $15K of hi-end audio gear

It does sound phenomenal! It'll be interesting to see what it tests like when ASR finally gets their hands on one.

I'm looking forward to the RC update that does the subwoofer. Given the WiiM Amp already has this RC feature, should be a super easy SW port for them, so hopefully next update or two...still waiting for the current one to "drop" or whatever it does

 

[Kenny Lam]

Surely your screenshot shows PEQ not Room Correction. I am pretty sure Room Correction doesn't use per channel PEQ yet.

I would try to perform room correction in seperate channel manually

I would try to perform room correction in seperate channel manually

So would I but that wasn't the question

Is the DSD playback limited only to DFF files? I think the more commonly used file format for DSD is DSF, which supports both metadata and album art.

Doesn't it already play DSF files?

Doesn't it already play DSF files?

I'm not sure, I don't yet have an Ultra, but I thought to date that WiiM had only provided a feature that transcoded DSD to PCM on the Pro Plus. Presumably it was compatible with DSF files, but they were transcoded on-the-fly. I'm thinking this recent feature added to the Ultra is the first it can play any DSD, but again I'm not entirely sure since I don't yet have one in hand.

I haven’t got the update yet.

I think it might be the same on the Ultra, transcoded to PCM.

I think it might be the same on the Ultra, transcoded to PCM.

Probably so, the new feature then is really just support for the DSF file type and not native DSD playback I'm guessing.
