Mine is in Android, Version 3.1.3.250215, it's probably just rolling out over a few days.Strange, if i activate the fixed volume in the Wiim app I don't get any pop up confirmation about this...I have the latest app-version.

I know what you mean. Multi room vinyl feels like anachronistic steam punk.Still tickled how the phono stage sounds. The fact it sounds great playing on the other WiiM streamers in the other rooms makes me giddy.

Does this device take music streamed over USB as input?
You mean audio streamed over USB - as a USB DAC? Unfortunately not.68 pages of posts so maybe this has been covered alread: Does this device take music streamed over USB as input? I have leafed through its user manual and it seems the answer is no. USB is output only.

That was my conclusion too after having read the manual linked to by Audionaut. I couldn't help noticing that it avoids specifying what audio file format are supported. An on-line FAQ is equally uninformative despite this question being listed.You mean audio streamed over USB - as a USB DAC? Unfortunately not.
The USB port can be used to connect external storage for file access or external DAC's for audio output.
It should be able to play back DSD files as well. Although they're encoded to PCM to be able to apply EQ, RC, volume control etc...According to Perplexity.ai WiiM supports:
The answer to the other question that one should ask:
- MP3
- AAC
- ALAC (Apple Lossless)
- APE
- FLAC
- WAV
- WMA (Windows Media Audio) lossy but not WMA lossless.
- OGG
- AIFF2
- FAT32
- NTFS
- EXT4
It does not. Even with an external DAC, it converts DSD to PCM before sending it out.It should be able to play back DSD files as well. Although they're encoded to PCM to be able to apply EQ, RC, volume control etc...
Yes, like I said?It does not. Even with an external DAC, it converts DSD to PCM before sending it out.

All that did was allow it to read and convert DSD to PCM for playback. Before that, it couldn’t even read/recognize DSD at all. It still can’t send bitperfect DSD out.![]()
WiiM Ultra Firmware Release Notes
This firmware update is being rolled out in stages, with devices updating sequentially over the next few days. It's important to note that the device's firmware version is distinct from the WiiM Home App version. To check your device's firmware ...faq.wiimhome.com
8/2024 update added DSD
Very surprised how good it sounds. Impossible to A-B test, but couldn't call it between the Wiim and my Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 UltraStill tickled how the phono stage sounds. The fact it sounds great playing on the other WiiM streamers in the other rooms makes me giddy.
Ah, I see your point. It does not native DSD, but it plays back “DSD files” which typically means DSF files.All that did was allow it to read and convert DSD to PCM for playback. Before that, it couldn’t even read/recognize DSD at all. It still can’t send bitperfect DSD out.

Also at 65db SINAD at 41db gain it’s very close to what the best vinyl has to offer for headroom. From what I recall, that’s somewhere in the 70db dynamic range on the very best pressings. How many really achieve that?Being able to adjust the gain of the phono stage and apply room correction to it makes it superior to any of the admittedly lackluster phono stages I've experienced (built in Rotel, built in Denon and external Emotiva)
Think you'd need to spend a lot more than the Ultra on a phono stage to surpass it.
I have now read in the calibration file and run the automatic room correction with several passes on a flat curve.The latest version of the WiiM Home app (3.1.3) now also supports import of calibration files of measurement microphones!
