There was a stink about it not supporting Apple Airplay 2 and that seems to be either a hardware or a licensing issue but nothing I care about. I will never buy an Apple device and most of my friends and family are on Android anyway.
Could someone has reasonable explanation why all wiim products convert dsd to pcm on output (even usb).
It's not ideal - it would be good to be able to make updates manual only, with an accurate changelog so you could decide to stick with the version you have if anything untoward happens. But then you might need to stick with the existing app version to match it.The big stink was related to AirPlay casting which they previously supported (and advertised as a feature) and took away. In this case it was AirPlay casting, but I don't like the idea that manufacturers can take away capability via automatic software updates, you never know when some functionality that you depend on will be removed.
You set the crossover frequency, which gives matching LR4 LPF and HPF. There are delay and bypass options, but nothing yet for setting different crossover slopes.Does the sub output have an adjustable LPF? Any delay functionality? Does applying the sub output automatically apply a corresponding HPF on the main output?
Which is definitely an issue. But they have offered full refunds to people who bought it because of that. And assuming it is out of their hands it is the only thing they can do. This has been a reason for a class-action lawsuit before.The big stink was related to AirPlay casting which they previously supported (and advertised as a feature) and took away.

bc apparently we like to show off bit- & sample rateWhy emphasize bit rate and sample size instead of volume control?

I think this would appeal to someone who wants a larger component than cheaper wiim for their living room, plug in tv, cd player and even a turntable and/or add wiim's amplifier. Their cheaper streamers are such a great value that it is not really possible to add much at this price level to match Bluesound quality which is 2x the price.When compared to recent excellent products produced by Wiim, the added features of the Ultra (DAC aside) are unfortunately underwhelming. It won't make my short list.
Gosh it's not that hard.I really love the Wiim Pro I bought a while back but Wiim is kinda jumping the shark with their iterations and model names. Their lineup has become confusing, at least to me. Too many uses of the words 'pro' and 'ultra' and 'streamer' and 'amp' in multiple combos that make it harder than it should be to know the progression in their lineup.
