Sub option in smart presets?

BINGO!

How many smart presets can you have, and can you control all of them from the Ultra’s screen?

The What’s New 4:
Do you have before and after measurements to show?

Now we "just" need all the other options for Preset plus edit of name, picture and order.

Agreed, though ultimately that’s window dressing, rather than functionality.

Any idea how many presets?

So far Steve, 12 presets available from Ultra screen. I don't have the update yet but I think it will be the same. Ronnie D

Yeah, a smart preset is still a preset...

 

[Steve Woodhouse]

Beauty.

My reading of the WHA thread implies only v 3.1.0 is available. Dies this mean the smart preset offering sub out control is unavailable in reality, even if the fw offers it, or am I missing something?

WiiM haven't announced it, I kept an eye on updates after @Burnside mentioned it.

 

[gazza1101]

Would be great to be able to toggle between fixed audio output and variable in smart presets
Anyway happy to see more functionality

Yeah, I think this is essential switching between headphones and other outputs

About the General Fixes... was the unfixed "USB Out Fix" from the last update been finally fixed.
My external DAC still won't go to sleep after the Ultra goes into standby mode.

Yea I should have made it clear when asking, same question as the USB out fix was part of the beta 704461 version
