r/wiim

Hi Guys,

so i recently switched from Spotify to Apple Music and forgot that the WiiM Ultra doesnt support AirPlay. I am now streaming from Apple Music to my Smart TV, thats hooked up via HDMI Arc to the WiiM, from wich i go via RCA to my Cambridge Amp. My question is: Is there any other way to stream from Apple Music and is the Music quality effected by this type of setup?

I think i will ultimatly switch to Apple Music, maybe i should replace the Ultra with an Cambridge MXN10 which does have AirPlay?

And why does the Ultra dont support AirPlay?

Thank you guys, your opinion on this is much appreciated :)

Have a wiim mini that I enjoy but wondering how to connect to the AVR having also a Ln SMSL SU1 laying around, for better sound quality do I connect wiim mini fiber optic cable to SU1 and then from SU1 rca cables into AVR? Or use a direct connection from wiim mini into AVR?

I'm looking to get a setup that I can use WIIM Ultra to stream music via tidal and link to the TV only...

Just lookingfoir recommendations of amp needed or good speakers / sub woofer or sandbars etc

Brands and models would really help

Wanting some opinions, I have recently jumped back into home audio after just using ear buds and my iPhone for the last 10 years. I recently won a Yamaha rs 202 at an auction; not doing my due diligence I didn’t realize I bought the basic of basic amplifiers, but trying to make the best I have added some descent pin to banana cables, gotta love the spring clips. I purchased 29inch speaker stands and dusted off and degreased Paradigm Atom monitors v7, and when I say degreased I mean the rubber baffles developed sticky residue after sitting in a closet for years, but I saved them. My last purchase has been a WiiM pro streamer along with non junk rca’s. My question is will the WiiM pro plus provide substantial music listening improvement if I upgrade to the pro plus? For music context I use Spotify hifi and mainly listen to hiphop and r&b.

For those that have the WiiM Mini. Can you please test this for me?

On your Apple TV can you AirPlay to the device, watch a show for a little bit then pause the audio on the Apple TV and leave it there for about an hour? I’m curious if the AirPlay connection will drop off or stay connected indefinitely. What if you put your Apple TV to sleep and leave it overnight

The reason I’m asking is because I do have the DENON H150, and this speaker seems to drop the AirPlay connection even when the Apple TV remains awake, but with the audio just paused after sometime. It’s the only speaker on my network that does that. And I’m curious if the WiiM Mini stay stays connected. I have a WiiM Amp and it does stay connected to AirPlay indefinitely, and this is the behavior I want.

As the title says, I really love my WiiM stuff but I really wish they had POE.

I understand it's not as feasible for the speaker (maybe with poe++) but the Streamer pro tops off well before the 15 watts of standard poe.

Hi, I'm having problems connecting ibroadcast to my wiim amp ultra via Google cast. It worked fine preciously but now it doesn't. When using ibroadcast I connected previously by clicking on devices and clicking on the ultra from there. But now the ultra is not listed as one of the available devices. I've checked the wiim app it still has Google cast enabled. I've tried restarting everything but still have the problem.

Not sure if this is a problem with ibroadcast or my ultra.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Hey legends.

I'm currently looking at expanding my set up at home with some outdoor speakers.

Our current set up is a set of Edifier S1000mkii speakers in the living room which takes inputs through Bluetooth and from our turntables preamp.

Im hoping to add wired outdoor speakers to both our front and back deck area, and was looking at the Wiim Amp Ultra as a unit to play through to connect all three areas together.

Can each output from the ultra be designated as a separate room? Or am I missing something there to be able to separate out the three areas to select what I want?

Haven't purchased the outdoor speakers yet, but trying to line up everything before dropping the money on it all.

Any help and or suggestions would be awesome 🙏

Trying to keep the system simple for the family, so trying to avoid "aftermarket" speakers and a WiiM amp. Are there any plans for OEM Outdoor WiiM speakers?

The wife loves the Sound and has been asking me about expanding outdoors.

dials have some haptic feedback or some sort of clicky or step feedback that feels amazing

This one is just silent - doesn’t dial so nicely like it’s not got enough bearings or something

Has anyone dealt with this before? I recently moved apartments and now I cannot get my WiiM Ultra to connect to my phone through the WiiM Home app.

The WiiM itself connects to the WiFi, although it says the signal is bad, and my phone is connected to the same network. For some reason though, they just won’t seem to find each other. I’ve even tried connecting the WiiM through Ethernet and still had no luck.

I’m starting to wonder if my apartment has some sort of security setting on the WiFi that prevents devices from communicating with each other, but I honestly have no idea if that’s even a thing lol. (Dealing with the wifi people has been a hassle. I’d like advice tbh.)

It worked fine before I moved, so I’m pretty convinced it has something to do with the network here. Has anyone run into this with apartment WiFi before? And if so, is there anything I can do on my end, or do I need to contact whoever manages the building’s internet?

Is the sound better from over the other?

I have been enjoying my wiim amp pro with wharfedale diamond 12.2i's so much that I want to get rid of my soundbar for movies. I have two options- add an audio pro c10 mkii wiim edition for the center channel or add a wharfedale 12.ci for centre channel with a wiim pro and a cheap class d amplifier. Has anyone tried either of this combinations? How is one comparable to the other?

Hi all.

I've got a WiiM Pro and use it to stream to a NAD C372 amp and some Energy RC30 floorstanders. If I turned the volume on the NAD up to 12 o'clock it was LOUD. Anything past about 1 o'clock and it would be ear bleeding.

I had the amp in for repair as it had a faulty protection circuit and didn't use the WiiM for the 6 or so weeks it was away.

When I got the amp back, the level just wasn't there. I could turn the amp volume to basically max and it wasn't as loud as before.

I don't believe repair shop wouldn't have done anything to the affect the gain and there isn't any gain adjustments in the amp.

I've checked all settings in the WiiM app. Nothing seems to make it go as loud as before.

Has anyone had issues where their WiiM Pro randomly starts outputting a lower level signal?

Last year I bought my first Wiim Pro Plus and it worked fine and I was happy. After few days it started that after I turned it on it took the device 30 minutes then sound came out of it. I sent it back. A few months later I give the Wiim a second try and again it was perfect. THEN I turned it on from Standby and there was no sound. Then it lost connection and now Ím not able to reconnect the device. Removed the Powersupply, changed the cable etc. Pressed Play for 10+ sec. Nothing worked. I could spent the evening listening to music, now I try to solve problems =)
