If we combine "odd" and "setting a high/low range", maybe they are just using some rather weak subterfuge to leak the price in advance to fuel the hype for the product?

Taking current $US prices on Amazon as a guide, Wiim Pro is $149, Pro Plus is $219. If Wiim Ultra is another incremental improvement in the streaming line-up, doesn’t an $80 or $100 increase seem more in line with past Wiim "value"? i.e. Ultra at $299 or $319? (Or about €349 including tax)? So...

Yessss... A wifi, powered speaker with IPx7 water resistance - a competitor for the Sonos Roam and Move. Colors for outdoor Wiims: Space Rock Gray and DeLorean Silver ??

If you look at the planned products listed in Linkplay’s “Wiim” U.S. trademark applications filed in January 2023, the first items are: “Audio speakers; Audio amplifiers; Audio hardware consisting of stand-alone voice controlled information devices, namely, cloud-connected and voice-controlled...

Fwiw, Sonos introduced their auto-room correction “Trueplay” in 2015, and still have not adapted it to work on Android – even though many Sonos users have publicly suggested over the years that an external mic could address the claimed microphone inconsistencies of Android products. To add...

And so these men of Indostan Disputed loud and long Each in his own opinion Exceeding stiff and strong Though each was partly in the right And all were in the wrong! So oft in theologic wars The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter ignorance Of what each other mean, And prate about an...

Yes @Wiimer is right - I have a Marshall Stanmore (original) and @Mike in NY describes the Marshall Stanmore II. I confirm mine has an optical toslink output. I currently have a Wiim Pro/Topping dac into rca on the Stanmore. My Stanmore also has a 3.5 mm input - i have always assumed it was an...

The other thing that interests me in @scoffer’s experience is not that he didn’t hear much bass from the REL with Wiim Amp – it is that he did hear a lot of bass from the REL with the Pioneer. I say that because I would not expect the small REL Tzero to being able to add much to his high quality...

I don't have a network that is at this level of complexity, but as we all seem to have to troubleshoot wifi connection issues at some point, I am curious about a couple things regarding your issue and solution - why does enabling/disabling IPV6 make a frequent difference to connectivity with the...

If @scoffer hasn’t already boxed up the Wiim Amp, I note that the REL Tzero has a “standby/always on” power switch like many subs. I don’t know if this might apply to the REL, but I have read about various other subs that, when in “standby” don’t kick in until the volume on the amp is relatively...

Good catch - i had looked at the photo of the back of it and saw only 4 boxes labelled "inputs" + phono input - but now that you point it out, the "out" under "input 4" is obvious and even set off by a checked background! So hopefully that gives dmcdonut what he needs.

Of course. I know there is still only "one output" - my comment was in the context of the discussion about "how do i stream my turntable's output to multiple speakers in different rooms with only one wiim device with one active output" - Airplay provides a limited option to do so, IF all the...

Regarding the Wiims only being able to stream to one output at a time, there is a slight exception - being that if you are using the Airplay output, you can stream to multiple airplay devices simultaneously - I just tried it, and could send the same Wiim Pro stream to both my Sonos Arc and Naim...

@dmcdonut that plan won’t work because of two limitations of your Sony receiver – it has no output to connect a Wiim to the receiver, and its Bluetooth is only an input (from what I read – I don’t own one). (The Sony STR-DH190 receiver seems an odd duck – a recently produced and still-sold...

To address @Brantome 's query, I opened the Amazon app today to set up the Alexa cast on Android phone with the Wiim Pro, and I didn't need it - under the settings wheel in Amazon app home screen, it offers "connect to a device" and the Pro was listed, and plays hi-res from the Amazon app -...
