The HDMI ARC is only an input (not output), and the Ultra is a stereo-design. So even if you could manage to feed Atmos into the Ultra, there would have to be a conversion since it can only output stereo + sub.
I have both Spotify and Qobuz.
Qobuz is only used when geeking with my stereosystem. For normal music-enjoyment on my stereo or on my way to work with earbuds im always using Spotify. Would be nice to have just Spotify with CD-quality. The rest of the familiy use Spotify so I will in any case...
Im afraid that 250 will kill more than the competition. WiiM as a company cant survive solely on sales-volume if they’re not making a profit huge enough to be sustainable :-/
Spotify have a better app and a larger database of music than the other services, so if the entire database will be lossless CD-quality i guess a little higher prices than Tidal/Qobuz/Apple Music can be justified 👍🏻
People will always want more for less, but we have to be reasonable here and not just choose the lowest price. WiiM har normally made exceptional products, so if the screen is of Eversolo-quality and the DAC is good - i think the 449£$€ will be fair 👍🏻
I have no problem with it having a DAC. What I meant was that most of the new features are about screen, and connectivity/bassmanagement when use as preamp.

I was also hoping for a AES/EBU...

I now see that WiiM replied on 31st december. I thought it was early october. So maybe we see nothing until fall. But its okay, i live happily with my Pro and a good DAC - and for me the Ultra needs to be more tempting than more connections I dont need and a fysical screen 🙂
Yes I am very satiesfied with my WiiM Pro and NAD Masters M51 combo, so dont need a lot extra.
The perfect streamer for me would be (with WiiM Pro as starting point):
- Adding a AES-EBU output
- Chassis in aluminum
- Internal linear powersupply (to get rid of the iPad-usbsocket/powersupply)
-...
