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 ;):ROFLMAO:

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

Anyway, I thought that the upcoming Amp would a pure amp as the companion for the Ultra.
There is no shortage of amplifier solutions ;-)
(we will also have to see if they take more care of the digital outputs at "ultra"..because they will clearly continue to be used like this)

Just seen this

The specs finally revealed but the dac looked dated from several generation. What is the second mystery product?
 
It’s 69 dollars more than regular and power out still same as previous. I would rather see upgrade to 120 watt on 8 ohms.
See this comment for the differences

 
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!
Hi, @WiiM Support

How does the WiiM amp pro play Dolby Audio in 2.1ch? Need Wi-Fi speakers?

Or is it only Ultra that implements Dolby Audio? 🤔

Edit;
Is the WiiM amp pro 4.1ch?
--------------
What remains the same on the Pro are amplification power (60 watts per channel at 8 ohms, or 120 watts per channel at 4 ohms) for either two or four speakers, and all of the streaming features listed above for the Ultra.

if they announce "3rd quarter" there is still time to perhaps technically rework these products... then see a rather early announcement... I think...

a simple question..is the ultra functional or just a technical-marketing sheet?

let's wait "fender" to be able to kindly harass him with questions...hihi

Both products support Dolby Audio and will downmix 5.1 audio to 2.1 when using a single device. We are developing a feature to output satellite channels to separate speakers, effectively creating a 4.1 system when the devices are grouped together.
