Good evening,
i am interested in the Wiim Ultra streamer - mainly because of it's touch display to avoid the use of my smartphone from time to time - especially when other family members wanna listen to online-radio or their favourite streaming music without the need of flimsing around the smartphone. It seems like the display/touch screen should be fine for some rudimental playback usage and the change of inputs/streaming company.
But then comes the more interesting point/question for me...
We got some Google Nest Audio around in several rooms - grouped in different "Chromecast" groups. Generally, i use my phone and e.g. Spotify to "connect" to those Nest Audio speakers through chromecast technology depending on the desired "speaker group" - up to all speakers for example.
As far as i understand - it should be possible to access the Wiim Ultra as well... but the manual claims that the Wiim Ultra is only a chromecast receiver, especially when plugging external devices like a CD player or phono-player like in my "imaginary use case".
What do i want? Attaching my vinyl player to the Wiim Audio through the phono inputs... and then "tunneling" the sound to all my Nest Audio via Chromecast... but when understanding the manual - that use case is not possible? I could only use the generic cinch outputs or even bluetooth, but no chromecast when an external Line In source is attached ?
I mean - i could stream via Bluetooth to one of my stereo Nest Audios - but the main wish would be a streamer that can "tunnel" the incoming audio from external devices to my Chromecast build audio groups using the Nest Audio speakers.
Second thought... lets forgett the Chromecast style streaming from external... same situation for Audio Pro Multiroom functionallity when plugging external Phono into the Wiim Ultra? Any chance get that sound streamed wireless to multiple speakers? Or in that case again only to wired outputs/bluetooth capable speaker?
I like the Audio Pro units and thought about investing into that system instead of Chromecast Multiroom - but if i cant stream the Line In Signals to multiroom setups it wouldnt be an upgrade for me...
And advice, tipps, workarounds? Or do i have a complete missunderstanding of the situation?
thanks for your time and help!
