WiiM Ultra

Updated on 4/19/2024

Hi Team,

We're excited to give you a sneak peek at the WiiM Ultra, your future go-to digital hub for all things music! We're putting the final touches on this innovative product and are on track for a Q2 release. Stay tuned for more updates as we gear up for launch!




Original message by Brantome:
As mentioned in a user reply from the WiiM/Linkplay CEO on the WiiM Fan Page on Facebook, WiiM are developing a new device called the WiiM Ultra which will have a screen, aluminium case and USB audio output. It should be available Q2 2024, so a good five to six months away.

Guess @Smartplug is due a prize (e.g. I'll lay off gently ribbing them about their constant 'when' questions) as I think they first suggested that name a while ago

That's the entirety of the information I have, but WiiM do say they'll release more details in due course.

Does it have PFFB?

No idea, but even if it's implemented this time I'm not fully convinced by this solution.

I didn't realize this information was already posted here. I doubt if this information is genuine. The power of Amp pro is the same as before.

Edit;
Yes, it seems that this information was genuine. I'm a little surprised.

We need to wait for the official announcement but it does seem genuine as there are multiple sources.

Hi Team,

The key differences between the Amp and Amp Pro include an upgraded DAC, PFFB support, the latest Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 technologies, and Dolby Audio support. Thank you!

 

[wiimj]

Forget the ultra lol. If amp pro can be somehwere near the level of topping pa5ii, I won't resist...

Does it have PFFB?

The BIG question.

Oh my word!

I have a feeling that if I gave you a £50 note you’d complain that it was crumpled.

But go on, why are you ‘not fully convinced’?

May I ask, is there any change to connectivity (analogue pre outs, digital out, etc)?

Many thanks.

Not according to the Forbes link/pic above

 

[canard]

would be nice to know more about the headphone part... ;-)

 

[ABAstroUK]

Oh my word!

I presume the Dolby Audio support will allow streaming of Atmos material?

 

[Steve Woodhouse]

One quick…not moan as such, maybe a request.

I think the pics of the Ultra in black look very nice.

Can we have the Amp Pro in black, please?

I think it's Space Grey like the others, no? Maybe just how they've been photographed/mocked up

I don't feel responsible for your feelings so it's up to you. And I will not "go on" on your request.
