I wonder what chip will be used in the new Wiim Ultra. Any predictions?

None of us has one device at home, but we have 40-50 of them. Each consumes energy unnecessarily while on standby. Large companies (like SONY) and small ones (like Mecool) understood this and now the standard is 0.2-0.3W in standby mode. Therefore, I would like to encourage Wiim to be more...

So. Wiim Pro consumes 1.7W in standby mode and the same amount when turned on. It does not make sense. There is a Bluetooth remote control that can turn on the device. I have a Mecool KM2 streamer (connected to the network via RJ-45) with a Bluetooth remote control, which draws 3W during...

A true standby mode is needed. If I turn it off with the remote control, the device should consume a maximum of 0.2W.

The display can show the name, author of the song and cover. After switching to standby mode, widgets could show the weather for today and the next few days, or other useful data.

A license fee is needed for LDAC and APTX HD. If it is to be WIIM Ultra aspiring to a more premium product than WIIM Pro Plus, it should support better codecs.

That's right, several months of design work. It is worth adding wifi 6, better bluetooth codecs such as LDAC, APTX HD.

We are waiting for more information ;) There are many questions. How big will the display be? Will it be touchscreen? Will the case be larger than Pro Plus? Will the same DAC be used as the Pro Plus? Internal or external power supply? Will there also be a sound USB input?

Wow, even the antenna cable is soundproofed in foam. Complete silence :)

Thanks @steadyshot! Finally, photos inside the housing :) The DAC/ADC analog section is much larger. The digital section has also been redesigned, see the power circuits - probably for better filtration and noise reduction. A lot of electronics for such a small box :)

I'm in a comfortable situation that I haven't bought it yet ;) (I bought an old Wiim Pro before) and I can wait about a month or two.

@onlyoneme thanks for checking. @WiiM Support when will it be possible to buy wim pro plus pcb v3?

Yes, this version is probably identified in the API :)

Thanks, this top pcb is for the DAC and ADC sections. At the bottom there is a PCB responsible for, among other things, power supply.

@onlyoneme yes you are right there are 2 pcb inside. It is possible that the api returns the general hardware version. @nerone is your photo shows the top pcb?
