    WiiM Ultra

    You do realize that all the WiiM products to date come with only 10/100 Mbps LAN module. So, what is the likely benefit of 6E or 7??

    WiiM Ultra

    Does the Hub require communication to some Logitech Server during Startup or Setup or (heaven forbid) Daily Use?? That is where my first concern would be, having experienced "failure" of beloved discontinued products when the Company removes the remaining Server(s) to regain space or money.

    WiiM Ultra

    Since Logitech discontinued the Harmony Hub back in 2021, how confident are you that your investment (time/money) will remain operable for years to come?? It appears the last App update was a year ago, and no recent Devices have been added - correct?? I don't own one, but have been considering...

    WiiM Ultra

    This is why WiiM has their superb WiiM Home App - control that would require 100's of individual physical buttons. Physical Remotes are becoming quite passe - too many Features to Control, too many Commands to manage, too little real estate for Buttons. (And, yes - I experienced the first...

    Room Correction Beta firmware for WiiM Pro, Pro Plus and Amp - User Testing Experience

    While I can see the benefit of moving the Beta Test Participant discussion to another platform, it does cut all of us lurkers out of the loop. Hopefully some number of participants will return periodically to the more public forum to give us updates if not the blow-by-blow report.

    WiiM Ultra launch price

    So, you desire that LinkPlay invest time and money to include NAS/DAS and DLNA/UPnP Server functionality simply to avoid the need for you to place an existing PC (or RPI) into the mix?? That they undertake the development and/or licensing of multiple Operating System components and commit to...

    WiiM Ultra

    What purpose do the XLR-out serve, if "No Internal DAC"?? Without the DAC, there is no Analog output (if any Analog inputs, they would only go straight-through - might as well save the pair of patch cables). Without the DAC, there is no EQ / PEQ or Volume Management. So, while it might save a...

    List of Roon-Exclusive Functions for WiiM Pro/Plus/App

    Has anyone seen a list of Functions which Roon coopts as "Roon-Exclusive" when playing Wii? Pro/Plus as Roon Endpoints?? I've noted a few: Multi-Room Groups - must use Roon Groups not WiiM Multi-Room Group Synchronization - Roon claims RAAT Implementation (but no further explanation) yet I had...

    Wiim Pro output from Line In to both Line Out and AirPlay Receiver

    Either way, there are good choices for equipment. Using the WiiM Minis might simplify as you'd get control of all the end-points in a single App - the WiiM App. And might even save a penny, as "Smart Speakers" cost somewhat more than simple Powered Speakers. Most USB Speakers are dependent on...

    Blurry album art from NAS

    Your problem appears that Amazon Music HD is streaming (and displaying) an image at a smaller size in the Amazon Music App (surely size/resolution optimized for their App). WiiM App playing Amazon Music HD through the Amazon-supplied API has to make due with the same image data, but is...

    Wiim Pro output from Line In to both Line Out and AirPlay Receiver

    Yes. However, I'd make a few modifications to the Room B scenarios: Add: WiiM Mini > Powered Speakers (no real benefit to spending for Pro if direct connection to Powered Speakers except ChromeCast) Add: WiiM Mini > Smart Speakers (no real benefit to spending for Pro/Plus if digital...

    Wiim Pro output from Line In to both Line Out and AirPlay Receiver

    Removing the "technology" (sorry if this starts to sound condensending... not meant to be...): Turntable/CD/Other -> Receiver -> WiiM Pro Plus -> (protocol: AirPlay or ChromeCast or 2nd WiiM) -> Wireless Speakers and/or Streaming Service -> Wiim Pro Plus -> Receiver AND 2nd WiiM Pro Plus ->...

    Wiim Pro output from Line In to both Line Out and AirPlay Receiver

    If your Receiver is "vintage" then it surely has "Tape-Out"/"Line-Out" RCA Connector that is powered at same time as its Amp powers the speakers, correct?? If your Receiver is "analog-only" then you already have your WiiM Pro Plus connected to a pair of "Line-In" RCA Connectors (can actually be...

    Wiim Pro output from Line In to both Line Out and AirPlay Receiver

    Please, have you identified which Wi-Fi protocol(s) your remote Wi-Fi speakers support?? AirPlay, ChromeCast, Bluetooth, other?? WiiM supports Line-Out, Digital-Out (Optical/SPDIF), Bluetooth - to any one output at a time. WiiM also supports multi-room output via AirPlay, ChromeCast, and...

    Recased Wiim Pro

    You apparently also subscribe to the idea that toroidal-based LPS needs Vibration Isolation. Yes, vibrations can cause electromagnetic induction in existing magnetic fields, per theory. One assumes that is the reason for the 4x "springy footings" under your Supercharger LPS. What is the...
