A bit of a tautology.
Just came across the Arylic boxes. Interesting models with built-in amp for single box solution cheaper than Wiim plus external amp and no extra wires and power cords.
Your weather report is not an issue. Sonos is either loved or hated. Fortunately, some of the folks I deal with, throwing money at a problem is the simplest and easiest solution. One of their issues with Sonos has been the lack of features, such as expanded Atmos options, at any price and no...
Am I correct in stating that the TL;DR is:
Apple does not allow any 3rd party devices to be AirPlay 2 transmitters which is what is needed to be able to send line in/aux/external input audio to destination AirPlay 2 receivers.
Workarounds involve using an Apple device as a software bridge to...
Firstly, there is no mention on this limitation on the use of line in/aux in for Wiim in the Wiim Pro product description. It simply says it supports line inputs and also AirPlay 2.
Secondly, I only have a single Wiim Pro, so I'm going on what people here are saying and the bits and pieces...
Sonos allows grouping Sonos devices with AirPlay 2 devices for output so it is relatively easy to take line in/aux input and distribute it to all AirPlay 2 and Sonos speakers in a home.
I don't know the mechanism, but that effectively requires Sonos to also act as an AirPlay 2...
Duh, yeah! That's what I wanted to avoid - kludgy/hacker/hobbyist "stuff".
I fix this now with a simple solution: Spend $$ on a Sonos Port, Sonos AMP, or Sonos Five, depending upon which is most appropriate for using their other features too.
A $50, $100, or $150 alternative that is a...
Yeah, that was my conclusion.
Apparently, in "Wiim" mode, each unit is both a sender and receiver, but only using Wiim proprietary mode.
Real shame, I guess this thing goes back to the Amazon cavern.
I think I made a mistake?
Just received my Wiim Pro and connected an audio source to the line in, but I can't figure out how to send it to an AirPlay 2 destination.
I'm beginning to think this isn't possible? The only info I see in the app and help is the ability to group multiple WiiM units...
