Thank you. I don't use the TV remote. The TV is quite old and the smart works slowly in it. I don't want to change the TV because it is 3D, and sometimes, nostalgically, I rewatch "Avatar" on itThe sound will stay the same, but with ARC you can control volume using your TV remote, which is handy.
Automatic room correction works on Android as well, and you can even plug your UMIK into your Android phone for this.
However, WiiM's room correction algorithm still needs some improvement, so if you know how to do it manually using REW, that is preferred.
Also, please use english on ASR![]()
No problem and welcome.Thanks for correcting my mistake. I accidentally copied the wrong window from Google Translate.
My Roku Ultra controls TV on/off and volume. Much easier than the TV remote. I currently don’t have ARC. Just optical.Thank you. I don't use the TV remote. The TV is quite old and the smart works slowly in it. I don't want to change the TV because it is 3D, and sometimes, nostalgically, I rewatch "Avatar" on itI control everything with the remote from the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K. So, for my purposes, the Wiim Pro Plus is quite suitable. The language was an accident. I copied the text from the wrong window in Google Translate. Thanks again.
Could you please be more precise?Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but what would it be like to use REW on the Wiim Ultra. Thanks.
No. HDMI CEC is compatible with both ARC and eARC.@staticV3 ”…with ARC you can control volume using your TV remote, which is handy.”
If I’m not mistaken and unless this was rectified with an update, this would only have been possible with ‘eARC’, no?

What's REW ?
REW is a really powerful software to perform acoustic measurements and, among other things, correct for room modes. It's certainly more customizable than the WiiM RC and, with a bit of time and patience, the results are better than WiiM's.This: However, WiiM's room correction algorithm still needs some improvement, so if you know how to do it manually using REW, that is preferred.

Okay, everything arrived yesterday and I set everything up but I only used it for like 2-3 hours. So first I only tried my new cables, so coaxial to BNC adapter -> 25cm BNC cable -> Neutrik NADITBNC-M -> AES/EBU Cable -> Genelec -> AES/EBU Cable (I used normal microphone cable previously so now everything has correct impedance finally) -> Genelec. This worked pretty much without problems.I basically just ordered that stuff 2 days ago to do exactly that. And I ordered the WiiM Ultra too of course, so it can hopefully replace my BlueSound Node. I will report how it turns out, but I guess it will just work.
HDMI ARC always takes precedence over optical, if I remember correctly.When it first detect my TV (eARC) though and I turn on then my CD-Player it doesn't seem to want to switch. While when I first turn on my CD-Player and the the TV it switches easily to it. So I guess that is more smartness than in my BlueSound but still not perfect.
Time to make a feature request? A configuration option to use the newly appearing device, or to use a configurable preference order.HDMI ARC always takes precedence over optical, if I remember correctly.

Then I switched my BlueSound Node for the WiiM Ultra which of course is the more important part in this review. First the setup was fantastic, it worked so flawless and in matter of few minutes (excluding a firmware update). Remembering how long it took and how many on my BlueSound node it's just a shame BlueSounds puts out such a product.
Auto Switching between something like Spotify connect and my TV (eARC) works perfect, just like it did with the BlueSound. But here I have an additional feature on the WiiM it says it can auto detect Optical input. So thats where my CD-Player is connected to. Sadly it seems to work semi good. When I'm in standard mode (so Wifi input I guess) and turn on the CD-Player it switches to the input correctly. When it first detect my TV (eARC) though and I turn on then my CD-Player it doesn't seem to want to switch. While when I first turn on my CD-Player and the the TV it switches easily to it. So I guess that is more smartness than in my BlueSound but still not perfect.
For the display I looked shortly at it. It's nice that it shows the song cover artwork when playing spotify (or chromecast or so I guess) but it's just distracting when watching TV or playing CD. I like to have almost no other light source when my TV. So an option for the display to be turned off when connected to eARC would be cool, but I have hidden the WiiM Ultra now completely inside my TV-bench, so I guess I would still keep it that way. Nice and minimalistic.
Sadly though I have noticed one major problem, I also had when I first got the Genelecs and tried to connect them directly through TV optical out -> optical to coaxial converter -> coaxial to aes/ebu cable -> genelecs. So sometimes the sound drops out but like not really. It's like first the left speaker goes quiet and immediately again to normal volume (feels like a smooth transition too) and directly after that the right speaker. It's not as often as with my initial connection method through the TV optical but on the Node I got it to be basically non existent. I turned on the "Optical/HDMI Audio De-noising" feature but it doesn't seem to help. I also tried another samplerate for the coax output, maybe that works better. I have to test some more in the following days. If I can't fix it I probably will switch back to the BlueSound, which would make me very sad, since it seems so great otherwise.
I don't have cables for that. I only tried the complicated coax to AES shortly with the BlueSoind so I don't know if the same problem appears there. I could try using my simple coax to AES cable with the WiiM and see if it disappeares. I don't (want to) believe it though since my complicated coax to AES should be technically more correct when what I was doing before.Have you tried analogue outs from WiiM to Genelec?
Your coax to AES seems overly complicated? Do you do the same with Bluesound?

That's a lot of connections and different media for a passive SPDIF to AES conversion. I have had similar problems with my D&D 8Cs, where using a passive SPDIF to AES solution, the cable runs are just too long to reliably get a good enough signal level, and you get dropouts from one speaker or the other after some random period of time. Maybe it works with the Bluesound because the level is just marginally higher.I don't have cables for that.

It has nothing to do with Wiim, it's just how HDMI ARC works when CEC is enabled.Time to make a feature request? A configuration option to use the newly appearing device, or to use a configurable preference order.
