Sitting here listening to my radio station’s stream on WiiM Ultra. I am very impressed.

@hgo58

I have not seen them yet. Did they also change the scale to reflect the digital signal (dBFS) or is it still the power amplifier level (dB)?

 

[Vignus]

Just updated, where is the widget?

@harkpabst
Vu meters, input vs output.
iirc, we discussed this back in June last year.
Seems good things do come to those who wait!
Now, didn't we also discuss stereo meters...

 

[Wojc]

@Mr Ee as option why not - but for sure I dont want it - the screen is way too small IMHO

 

[Vince1931]

No update found yet?

Yes, everything should be optional!
But too small...? My RME dac screen is tiny, yet nicely shows stereo input and output levels and a spectrum analyser.

Yes I know this dac but there is a line meter if I’m not wrong. Screen is toon arrow to keep 2 VU in my opinion. Btw „led” lines as an option would be also great

Firmware updates are sort of rolled out in stages.

In most cases, the typical process goes like this: For a couple of days only the best looking customers are served. If no major complaints come in from them, the common masses will receive the update, too.

I was very good looking on the Feb 22 update. I must have had bad hair days since Mar 6, maybe before too.

Damn. Now I need to buy 3 more speakers

Ok, we have to wait a little.
Just bought some extra surround loudspeaker drivers ( Markaudio ) and my DIY building will be finnished in a week.
I hope that it will be possible to use surround with the help of my Ultra connected to ethernet and my WiiM PRO via wifi. Or do one have to connect all WiiM devices to wifi ?

As long as all devices are on same logical network it doesn't matter how they are connected.

That explains why I got it a week ago

So ethernet on both would work then

I'm so ugly, I didn't even qualify for any 5.2.709xxx version.



All they had left for me was version 5.2.708654 and some beauty tips.
