Wonder if improved metadata includes reading the ReplayGain/Album gain values?

If it is reading those, there’s no sign yet that they’re using them or it would have been trumpeted. So far I think it’s just Tidal they’re testing in a beta.

New update installed on my Wiim Ultra.

Automatic syncing of 3060S QA sub and KEF R700 speakers done.

9 ms applied .

Sounds great.

AFAIK it doesn't match the phase of the sub and the main speakers at the crossover frequency.

Got the update today and my random track skipping problem is GONE! Tested before and after update just to be sure.

Thank you WiiM!

I am using Symfonium on Android with a Plex server and playing FLAC files via DLNA/UPNP.

Sorry, trying to improve my english...what do you mean ?

Here is my settings:

Crossover frequency at 60 Hz
Main speakers on full band (my choice)

I have noticed a real change, sub and speakers seem to be in phase. No more phase cancellation.

Can we have more type of meter screens? Is only one?

It would be great If you can adjust the sensitivity of the VU Meter or set a certain range.

Yes also this. With hdmi it works much better than when im playing from tidal

I'll try it again when the official firmware arrives on the amp but I found that the auto timing recommended 8ms delay but when I measured the frequency response with Room Equalisation Wizard the maximum amplitude was with a delay of 3ms. WiiM even state that the delay isn't measured at the listening position and uses the devices built in microphone and not the phone microphone.

I have a bug with today’s firmware update. My custom (private) Icecast radio station no longer loads/plays. It plays fine on my other Ultra (without today’s firmware) and plays fine on my Mini. It also played fine on this Ultra prior to todays firmware.

My stream is in the format

http://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:8000/stream.m3u

Added properly and correctly via WHA Open Network Stream function

FOLLOW-UP: I submitted a ticket and they pushed out a beta firmware fix which resolved the issue. Man that was fast! Thanks WiiM!

Is the new firmware labelled (beta)? If not good luck trying to leave it later. I am stuck on an unlabelled beta even though I have been allegedly removed from the whitelist.

Got my update this morning and clock face choices remain the same. The release notes indicate the new clock faces will arrive when the App update is released. Two thoughts -- if the new clock faces are dependent on the App, why announce it with the firmware update? Second, I wonder when the new App will be out? Minor point, but still a shade annoying.

Probably because the clock faces are on the device via the firmware, but only configurable via the app.

Yes, and it apparently will allow me to revert to production, which I have not tried. Make sure you submit your system logs via the WiiM app when you submit a ticket. I believe they need your MAC address.

A few days ago, I had a similar issue to yours where it wasn’t labeled as beta and I couldn’t update since the version of the beta was higher and I had no option to revert. But within a few hours of submitting my ticket they reverted me.

So far I’m really impressed with the tech support!

iOS or android?

They told me I'd been removed from the whitelist but I still can't update. In this case the beta firmware is higher than the official firmware until this month's amp firmware is released.

The reason I can't revert to official is because the official firmware is older than the beta. I guess if it had been labelled as a beta I would be able to revert.

@WiiM Team you have an already gorgeous images looping on one of the clocks. Why you are not letting us choose the frequency of the image changing or simple choose only one of the images without looping?

Good point, but still a bit of a tease to announce a feature in a firmware update that won't be useable until they get around to doing something they haven't done yet.... As noted, just a minor annoyance.
