If it's true that the Ultra supports Atmos, at the most I'd expect a transparent pass-through to a multichannel amp, and if multichannel isn't available, then the Atmos data will get downmixed to two channel. But I suspect that this might be a misunderstanding. There's nothing regarding Dolby...

The issue I have with all versions of “Loveless” is how loud you have to turn it up before you can really start hearing everything. But that’s kind of the point, considering how loud My Bloody Valentine’s live shows are (they’re known to give out earplugs). Walls of feedback and intentional...

One of the most interesting remastered re-issues of the last 10 years are the analog remasters of My Bloody Valentine’s “Isn’t Anything,” “Loveless,” and “mbv.” The originals were recorded “ADD”: analog studio sessions, digital mixing / edit, digital mastering. This was the source of all...

Music on MacOS uses AirPlay for its connections. AirPlay can also be used system-wide to broadcast sound or video. Tidal (probably? I don’t use it) also uses the AirPlay interface in MacOS. So the WiiM isn’t consistently seen as an AirPlay target. Might want to start a ticket with WiiM support...

There is an API that can be used to send play/pause commands among many other things. https://www.wiimhome.com/pdf/HTTP%20API%20for%20WiiM%20Mini.pdf Conceivably, could be written in a web page.

What is running the ELACs? Or are they powered / active? If they are powered/active, they will have their own volume control, won’t they? If you’re instead running the ELACs off a power amp — which would mean you need volume control provided by a preamp or WiiM, be very careful! The WiiM has a...

None of us should feel guilt about returning something if it doesn't meet our expectations or we realize we don't really need it. We all should be more thoughtful about our consumption. Since none of the WiiMs have coaxial digital inputs or HDMI ARC digital inputs, I would have no expectation...

The WiiM Pro now has the option of including the remote. The WiiM Pro Plus (the newest version) includes the remote. None of the WiiMs support or decode Dolby Atmos natively. If you use a device that can play Atmos streams, like an Apple TV, the Apple TV will decode and downmix the Atmos...

With AirPlay, you'd initiate sharing the audio by clicking the link icon on the device card in the WiiM app on your phone, then clicking the checkbox by each recipient device in the list that appears (whether those are other WiiMs or AirPort Expresses or AppleTVs or some other type). I'm not...

The short answer is "yes." Things get more complicated when we consider "how." At the most basic, the WiiM Pro and Pro Plus can send audio input on any of their two input interfaces (RCA line-in to an ADC or an optical digital S/PDIF input) to another WiiM (or AirPlay target) on the same...

My mistake. I'm fairly new to the platform and hadn't noticed the buttons offering the choice the first time I did an update (when I first started using my WiiM Pro Plus, about two weeks ago). Or I had forgotten that I had seen them. I ran the update last night and did see the buttons this...

A very big quality of life improvement here: There are "not now" and "upgrade" buttons! *applauds* Well done!

How is your system set up? If your WiiM’s line out is set to an input on a powered speaker, yes, you’re out of luck once you want to airplay the line-in on the WiiM to another speaker. However, if you are using a receiver that has an Auxiliary in (input only) and a set of Tape In RCA...

Also: scheduling. If you want auto-update, you should be able to schedule it for when you usually don't use the WiiM.

I put in a vote for having both coax and optical inputs. It used to be you could count on CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray players to have both optical and coax outputs, but I've noticed some models only have coax.
