WiiM ULTRA (expected Q2)

[Ebenezer]

Waiting for WiiM to feature Apple Music native lossless support

Do Eversolo Streamer support Apple music native lossless?

 

[Ebenezer]

Can we connect Pendrive / Hard drive to Wiim Ultra through USB and play audio files from external drive?

Apologies if I missed this. Does anyone know if the USB port at the back is AUDIO only or can it support HDD?

If it can I have a reason to upgrade my Wiim Pro - immediately

I notice the Ultra has a USB port, does this allow me to play music from flash drive and what audio formats will it accept?

Yes, it also works as the music server.

@chander the above is from the Q & A excel sheet regarding the expected Ultra, in their Forum

 

[chander]

Another question - is it possible to stick a USB/SSD drive in the back of the Ultra & locally download your streaming services music in there - for offline playback?

how to get Wiim Ultra in India pls

 

[SanVJ]

It seems the Wiim Ultra will never get Apple AirPlay.

The current Wiim Ultra will never get Apple AirPlay | Digital Trends

Wiim's new flagship streaming music player wasn't AirPlay certified at launch, and now we know it never will be.

What were you using before this? How does it compare to Eversolo DMP A6?

I was using a sonos connect / wiim mini. Never used the Eversolo so can't comment on that.

How significant was the upgrade compared to Mini? Sound quality especially ?

The mini was connected via optical to a topping E30 DAC. The ultra is connected direct to my power amp. I would say around 10-15% difference for the better.

WiiM Ultra Streamer Preamp Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the WiiM Ultra network streamer, DAC, phono stage and preamplifier. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $329. Physical attribute are modern and attractive enough. Alas, I can't say the same thing about the graphical interface. Icons seem...
