Is it just my sensation or some good smoothing has been added to the VU visualization?

I’m a new Wiim Ultra user and would love to see sub output enabled while using usb out. Crossing my fingers that this is actually coming soon.

WiiM have said they are working on it and hopefully will issue beta firmware in a few weeks time.

Interesting, not at home right now but will check later, how do you mean smoothing? in way of motion or in the sharpness of the actual graphics?

It just seems like the refresh rate was increased.
Even appreciating it a lot, I'm wondering how much these -cosmetic- updates would impact on the computing available power.

It has the same CPU (ARM A53) as used in many phones (Samsung Galaxy S6) so you need not worry, it can handle a simple animation based on level input and decode a sound file simultaneously.

Remember those phones can/could play pretty advanced games, do multitasking and play Spotify all at the same time

Thanks, it relieves so much my worrying!
