I guess I should have waited and not added the Ultra to my other WiiM Pro and Pro Plus since it was not clear when preorders were announced it couldn’t support Apple Airplay. I just got it at the end of last week and only learned this yesterday. Is there such a thing as an Airplay receiver that could be connected like an Apple TV to the HDMI? Your video is an excellent overview. I guess you can some how link a Pro or Pro Plus to it and still connect it in that way. Also glad that Roon is now certified and available. Thank you and take care.
Great overview, thanks! Would love to know the latency on the Pro/Plus optical (in-out) passthrough. I’d love to put this between my gaming pc and my speakers, so I could use them for streaming AND games.
Can the wiim amp receive analog input and send it over wifi to a wifi speakers? if yes, what specification should the speakers need? I would like to connect 2 passive speakers to the wiim amp and send the analog input both to the passive speakers and to another wifi speakers at the same time, would it be possible?
AirPlay 2 is lower quality than AirPlay 1. I hope WiiM adds AirPlay 1 to the ultra. AirPlay 2 is more about multidevice connection and power savings. It streams in short bursts and degrades the audio signal. Most people are not aware of this. Bluetooth is actually better than AirPlay 2 for sound qualityF but AirPlay 1 is better yet.
Did anybody tried USB digital out from Wima Ultra and compared with coaxial digital out? I have upgraded Wiim pro that sounds as good as Eversolo A6 already, and I need to know switching to Wiim Ultra is good idea.
no need to switch If stick with digital out and have decent dac. I just finished to compare wiim mini optical output to USB output from $8k streamer in $30k system. As far as sound quality concerned, wiim mini is really really good. also have eversolo a6 and wiim pro.
Pro plus seems to be the sweet spot. Saying that i have the pro and have no desire to replace it.
FYI it's not a 4 band parametric eq. They updated it. I have 10 on my pro

Im not 100% sure but I think you can output your analog in to bluetooth. However you cant simultaneously send it to multiple outputs.
@smarthomesounds. Where did you get that record cabinet with the drawers, it looks really smart.
Excellent review young man!!
Is Roon confirmed to be natively integrated with the Wiim Ultra?
Hello. What is that model Turntable you use in your setup? It looks nice
It’s the Rega Planar 1. Hope this helps.
Is this likely to go the way of sonos where a major update ruins the playability and looses half of the functions previously available?
The WiiM app is very stable and quick. I think the Sonos app update is a big learning curve to all brands of what not to do. So hopefully no 🤞
