Didn’t # 1 was released on beta on Monday now it’s official? That was fast!

Haven’t got it yet ..

Haven’t got it yet ..

It can take a few days to get distributed to everyone.
Performing a manual check in the app most likely will not see it any earlier than "your time" either.

Another update and still no new clocks or meters, even though the road map had them scheduled for October 20th.
Will we ever have news in this sense? Is it possible that WiiM is satisfied with such a limited use of the screen? I keep waiting!!

Hi Maurizio, Team

This updated firmware supports the new clocks. To make the selection, the app needs an update, which is targeted for next week. Please stay tuned!

@WiiM Support Please keep the roadmap documentation updated with changed dates and functionality. Then the forum don't have to ask

 

[Kenny Lam]

Thank you very much WIIM team . I love you

 

[F1 Fan]

Just got the update

 

[Dennis from Venice]

I was pleased that the update occurred without a hitch. In the past, some had required a reboot of my computer and/or the WiiM.

Any news about roadmap to REPLAY GAIN usage on WiiM Ultra?

Nothing other than the beta for Tidal

Ongoing Beta - Beta Test: Replay Gain for TIDAL

Hi WiiM Community, We are currently seeking beta testers for our Replay Gain for TIDAL feature. This feature ensures consistent audio volume across tracks or albums, minimizing the need for manual adjustments. In the future, we will extend Replay Gain support to Qobuz, Spotify, NAS, and more...

That's a bit strange, since in flac files it only has to read the metadata field and apply a gain on playback... seems not that complicated (surely less when compared with streaming services)

Just checked again your link to the post and they're thinking on it (but no time frame for that)...

"In the future, we will extend Replay Gain support to Qobuz, Spotify, NAS, and more, as well as to playback files with embedded Replay Gain tags."

Thanks

We have no insight into Wiim’s development methodology or source code, or indeed their development priorities, so comments on how easy or complicated something is are best left to them

Till release everything is grain of salt.
